I think I'll start with Kyrgyzstan because it's so easy; the people are called Kyrgyz, and it just goes downhill from there. Kyrgyzstan, in addition to being just another "-stan"(Soviets Took All Niceties), is a nation where the main import is bullying and its main export is forcefully extracted lunch money. Ironically, the ephonymn Kyrgyz comes from some Turkish word that means "unconquerable". It was a this point that the nation's history became more sad than funny.
All but impossible to find, or pronounce, or care about, as well as having a name that is just too silly to be taken seriosuly, but not quite spellable enough to be used as a joke, Kyrgyzstan is the world's least influential nation-state.

So, is it too late to post; all Germans are blond, chubby, wear lederhosen, and eat chocolate?
