I can think of just about every north African country but that one. Because it has to be an African country. Can I just say Carthage? Because it's probably the same area. 🤣 since it's not Morocco, Algeria, Libya, or Egypt. I'm going to feel dumb when I hear it's name.

[ArrowheadSW]

It sounds like Tunisia, in the very northern part of Africa.

[Amy10223]

I'm going to gues on Tunisia. It sounds a lot like you're describing Morocco, but I'm thinking being it's close to it, it might have a lot of things in common.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Tunisia and Morocco are both awesome-sounding places. I plan to travel to each in sha allah!

[Amy10223]

@HippieVeganJewslim A brother-in law of mine was born in Morocco. He knew French growing up. He was Moroccan by birth, born there but having a Spanish father and French mother. Good luck in your travels.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Thank You! Shukrān! Merci beaucoup!

[Amy10223]

@HippieVeganJewslim De rien.

[purplepoppy]

You should have went with one of those "The republic of..." countries.
Fun fact, Africa is named after the country in question's roman name

[Jouth]

Africa is my favorite country.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

@Jouth are You trying to be funny? Africa, just like America, is a continent, not a country.

[Jouth]

@HippieVeganJewslim bitch it'a a country, I've been there

fuck u

[SEL195]

I say Tunisia since I live here and my husband has told me some fun facts. I disagree with 99% desert though since the Saharah only covers the South

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Aye. I don’t thing most African countries are all covered with sand with little life.

[MCheetah]

Tunisia. 99% Muslim, and a desert country. Probably not Thailand, Taiwan, or Turkey.

[RolandCuthbert]

Tunisia?

You talk about a lot of places I have never been.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

You’ve travelled to many places?

[RolandCuthbert]

@HippieVeganJewslim Turkey, The Netherlands, Lativa, Russia, Jamaica. . .

yeah, I get around.

Back from Montenegro!!! ↗

[HippieVeganJewslim]

I’ve been to Russia, Yankeeland, the Dominican Republic, England, and Spain. I’m planning to visit Amsterdam. by the way, is it easy for a traveller to get grass there? I want to go to Jamaica and Turkey, also, with many other countries.

[RolandCuthbert]

@HippieVeganJewslim Oh yeah. . . in Amsterdam, you can get pretty much whatever you want. Been there twice.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Thanks. I have no licence to smoke, however. How much does it cost? Got a bit more than 25€

[NathanDavis]

most of these I guess them from the flag colors... lol

maybe consider skipping that one fact... just to make it a bit more interesting, lol

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Tunisia. Would love to go there! I’ve heard it’s better than Morocco, but Morocco is also groovy.

[docster]

I'm going to guess Tunisia. Yes, I looked at a map, but that's the only help I sought.
