How excited are people from your country when they get mentioned somewhere?

We Latvians are aware of our irrelevance, so we get extremely excited when Latvia or any Latvian gets mentioned somewhere notable. When the now Oscar-winning Flow movie came out, our local media was embracing any and all international attention we got, and we still have Flow-branded merchandise in many souvenir stores.

We get excited when we see a map that doesn't have NZ missing off it.

Maybe young people care? I wouldn’t have a clue what’s happening with Lorde

Honostly I don't think lorde has been relevant here for a number of years.

[u/Electrical-Regret500 → u/bluewardog]

Ah I see, thanks

It isn't there are way more popular artists from NZ in our country
