Geography Now Opening Lines - "E" Countries

"All right, we are making Geography Now history. For the first time we are nullifying the alphabetical rule. Recently this country changed their name and as of 2018, the UN has officially taken on the new title. No more [country's former name], say hello to [country]."

"Guys, I live in Los Angeles, home to one of the largest [people from country] populations outside of [country]. I literally walked down the street to the nearest [from country] restaurant, and asked the owner to help me on the script. If you live in LA, check Sabor Latino's on Fountain Ave. They don't really speak a lot of English, so you might have to know a little bit of Spanish, but hey, they're cool, and I recommend getting pupusas and tamales con pollo with Tapatio on top. I know, Tapatio's actually a Mexican, but Tapatio goes great with anything."

"Hey everybody say hi to Samri. She is a real [person from country]." "Hi everyone!" "Samri, are you ready to make [country] proud?" "So ready" "Let's do it!"

"Hey everybody, say hi to Cindy! She is the only [person from country] I know." "Wow, I'm so excited to be on Geography Now! This is so cool!" "Yeah, I know, right?" "Hey Barby, can I...?" "Go ahead."

"Hey guys, meet my friend Mohab." "Oh, hey everyone!" "He's a real [person from country]. Ah...tell us, Mohab, [country], there's a lot more than just pyramids and mummies and stuff..." "Oh, are you kidding me, come on...There's the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Sharm el-Sheikh, Luxor, Aswan, The Opera House..." "Abadadadada...intro first."

"Imagine Portugal is having a family reunion. You've got the Brazilians dominating the conversation...Angola and Mozambique are off in the corner...and Cape Verde is joking around with São Tomé and Principé. Then some random Asian dude walks in wearing a scarf, holding a guitar and chewing on a betel nut. Welcome to the party, [country]!"

"Once upon a time, Spain was all like "I'm gonna take over the Americas! Yeah! That's where all my glory is gonna shine! What? OK- Look, just go play with Western Sahara or something, okay? Just don't bother me, okay? I'm investing in your bigger brother that I care so much more about!" And that child grew up to be [country]."

"Once upon a time, there was a nerdy girl in school who was always getting picked on. One day, the school had a talent show. She took off her glasses, and sang with a passion beyond all comprehension. Every guy asked her out after that. That's basically [country]."

"Yes, they eat the same food, look the same, have the same religion, speak kind of the same and have the same general historical roots, but do not! call these people Ethiopians!"
