          We have a similar saying, generally about Wales, although sometimes using Australia, New Zealand, the Falkland Islands or anywhere else that has a lot of sheep and we want to take the P out of.

          "Wales, where Men are Men and Sheep get worried."

            Imagine someone posting a thread on regions in Austria or Germany.

            I could elaborate on regions in Slovenia but of what relevance is it to you.
