We had the highest sheep:human ratio of any country. I think we still do, but I’m not sure.
New Zealand? Iceland?
NZ
It’s probably one of the best countries to live in but also comes with a big tradeoff in the form of a bad climate. People keep to themselves and avoid interacting with strangers. We’re also known for being quiet, humble and honest.
Finland
Correct
Estonia?
There’s a word coined in this town’s specific dialect that means “catty corner, kitty corner, or diagonal”.
Hint: the first two syllables of that word are “anti”, though the “t” is not a full fricative stop.
This one is too tough for me!
What do I win? 🤩🥳
The only possible word that comes to mind is “anticlockwise” used in (some parts of?) the UK instead of “counterclockwise”… but that doesn’t exactly match “diagonally”. Is it the word though?
The word is “antigogglin’”, pronounced: any-goggln. 🤓
Bonus hint: the area fought for the North in the Civil War.

we’ve been the cause of two world wars
Germany?
not quite
Only two?
so far
We have a 1/2 scale copy of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
Niles, IL
This wizard wins the cookie
I don’t know the scale, but Saugus, Massachusetts - “Leaning Tower of Pizza”
We have a small desert with cactii in a region that has snow 6 months, extreme cold for 2 months of the year.
A bit vague but there’s a handful of areas that more or less meet that description around Canada.
We have two animals on our coat of arms neither of which can walk backwards.
I’ve been told that this way they have no choice but to hold up the coat of arms.
And we eat them
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?
How many times does the digit 2 appear in the local crappy pizza 7 digit phone number?
I wouldn’t know that lol
I was wondering because it was either Detroit or Winnipeg, my hometown with 2222etc pizza joints.
Winnipeg always had “devil’s night” going back to at least the '70s.
Potpie is a soup, not a pie.
Pennsylvania?
Indeed! It may even be enough to get down to a specific region too.

Louisiana?

Wisconsin orMinnesota(Doesn’t the name translate to Land of Many Lakes?)

Wild guess but Rhode Island?

Despite New being in the name of it, the “old” place was named many years after.
Newport? (if by “old” you mean British!)
New Mexico
I’ve got a few but I’ll go with:
The Guinness World Record Largest Open Sandwich; It was a barbecue pork bun (as of July 2010; dunno if the record still stands)
Ok. In retrospect this was way too obscure.
How about the town Pepsi was invented in?
When I lived there, it was the city with the most parkland per capita in the US.
We don’t call them steamed hams.
New York, perhaps Albany?
Close, but no.
We have scammers
