    Seeing Poland Ball on this makes me wonder exactly what kind of sample of people they polled. Is this all redditors?

        France is full of weeb?

        Oh boy you have no idea , we had huge access to manga and anime since before the USA and that influenced a part of our pop culture since the 80s.

      Especially during and just following the bubble economy in Japan, a lot of people would go to France and get completely shocked. They largely went to Paris and we’re shocked that it was not romance, fantasy, and love, but regular Parisians. There is a word in japanese パリ病 (Paris sickness) to describe the disillusionment of it all.

      For some reason, pretty much nobody knows that except the French, lol. I only know it because of Polandball.

        As someone who’s lived in Japan roughly a decade, Finland would either be Santa or aurora based on everyone I’ve talked to. There are plenty of stereotypes (some of which are accurate in my mind), but this map seems a bit weird

      As a person who is Swiss and has lived a while in Japan, everyone says “Heidi”. I think Heidi/the alps is the biggest stereotype of Switzerland to japanese people, not banking.

        What’s “Heidi”? I need to ask my wife about this one. Is the pronunciation like German on this word for reference?

            Thanks for responding. I’ll check it out tomorrow (and ask my wife if she’s heard of it)

            Edit: after clicking the link, I have definitely seen the image wiki uses several times

      It’s just a way of deflecting the subject of Unit 271 731.

      Edit: They really should have named that something easier to remember, like “Crimes against humanity unit” or something.

    As a person living in one of the displayed countries I can confirm the accuracy regarding said country in this map which may or may not be fake.
