Every easter, we go from door to door and beat girl's backs with a whip made of braided rods. They give us sweets and alcohol for exchange.

We had the highest sheep:human ratio of any country. I think we still do, but I'm not sure.

If there's water to be manipulated in a way to either keep it out, or to make land appear where water once was, they are going to hire people from here.

We have scammers

One of the worlds most useless canals goes through my town (on it's path to crossing the entire width of the country). It was built largely with russian POW's. However, roughly eight years before it was completed, steam locomitives became a thing, making it obsolete.

Despite New being in the name of it, the “old” place was named many years after.

When I lived there, it was the city with the most parkland per capita in the US.

I'm from an area where we have a specific night of the year called "Devil's night". Easily googlable, but it's interesting that I didn't realize that few other areas seem to call it that from what I can tell?

More navigable waterways than any other US state. (From there but no longer live there).
