I've always liked reading The Onion but never noticed their atlas section before.
The country profiles they write up are hilarious.

United States
The Land Of Opportunism
The United States was founded in 1776 on the principles of life, liberty, and the reckless pursuit of happiness at any cost—even life and liberty.
Canada
Living in the shadow of its southern neighbor, the nation of Canada will never be as great as the U.S. so long as it continues to burden citizens with universal health care, refuses to drill for oil in federally protected wildlife reserves, and neglects its duty to blindly support unilateral invasions of Middle Eastern states.
Mexico
Now Hiring 2.4 Million Busboys
Despite being home to millions of educated and talented professionals, Mexico's development has been hampered by a severe unskilled-labor shortage, as there is no one left in the nation capable of handling the growing piles of garbage, the towering stacks of unclean dishes, and the large number of toilets, which-backed up beyond recognition-refuse to flush.
