My country has Simon Bolivar as the chad (almost every city has something with his name) when there's a lot of more important people in history, the president sucks and we're pretty fuck'd all the time, 1$ are worth like 65Bs (there should be a LOT of more zeros but i can't count now) but some arepas and cachapas con queso helps a lot, almost every single food can be named with a funny thing, like aguaito, pela'o, pabellón, pico e' gallo, etc; and there's a lot of really good words from my vision, i mean, Farallón sounds iconic for me; mamagüevo, coño e' la madre and paju'o (last 3 are used frequently by a lot of people). Also, don't Matter where you are or where you going, there's always an paju'o
I AM A STEGOSAURUS.
As a Brit, I don't think this is true; I think our country has some really great and unique culture. The history of Britain was built on blood and as such there is a lot of conflict and violent crimes occurring here in the street. This is one of the biggest problems of the country, knife crime specifically, and a large number of our population have been led to believe that the knife crime and violence is a new thing that is the result of immigration which is a perception designed to keep people all hating each other through fear and racism. (all of this could perhaps be saved for another thread titled "What is wrong with your country?" , but more on that later)
Aside from this, Britain has some of the most amazing countryside I've ever seen, along with some of the most polite and friendly residents. If you're more of a city/town person, we have some incredible architecture dating back to historic times and being around those buildings really does make you reflect on the scale of life and how long its been going for. Along with the places, we have a bunch of native crops and foods that you don't find in other places such as full English breakfast and some of the really hearty stews and soups that are more common in winter time. One last piece of British culture that I'm the most proud of is the music. If you look at a list of British musicians and bands you'd be amazed at how many of the musical geniuses that have blessed humanity that are British. To just name a few, Queen, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Beetles, Pink Floyd, Amy Winehouse, The Rolling Stones, The Stone Roses, Radiohead, etc etc etc etc And the lively street music scene you can find up and down the UK.
Lastly, one last part of British culture that is widely important to many many people is how "multicultural" it is here and how all walks of life are accepted and welcomed by most (apart from the moronic racists). There are places of worship up and down Britain for all religions and a lot of foods for people with dietary requirements from their religion can be found in all of the main stores as well.

I stand corrected but I was leaning more towards the knife crime/immigration situations but Britain does have a lot of lovely culture as you mentioned: Music (peak musicians that impacted the world), food (which I guess is notable the Breakfast, soups etc) and yes, country side (I live in the cotswolds/warwickshire area so I can 100% agree), 1 nice culture we have in my area, my town has a thread where they post past/present pictures of buildings/areas which is nice to see how most of the buildings are literally UNTOUCHED and sometimes even group photos to see if anyone is related/know any of them which is cute to see.
City culture is horrendous though, never had a single good experience in any of our cities in England, never want to visit them ever again.
