Look, I get why San Marino doesn't get a ton of respect. Its failure to achieve the highest level of victory is admittedly a black stain on its record, especially considering all the talent San Marino was surrounded with. If we were halfway through this Rankdown I probably wouldn't bat an eye.
But the second round of cuts? Really?
Really
really?
Look at the stats. A "Very High" rating on the Human Development Index. A 96% literacy rate. A budget surplus and no national debt. A QB rating of 86.4. And most impressive of all, San Marino led the 1972 Miami Dolphins to an undefeated regular season, a record that would not be tied until the New England Patriots went 18-1.

This country is named after a bird. That's really dumb. What's even dumber is that it's named after one of the WORST birds. Turkey is irredeemably bad. It's literally just drier, shittier chicken that we're all forced to eat once a year because of stupid traditions. It's literally the ONLY food that is strictly dominated in all recipes by another food.
So, in short, fuck Turkey.
Also that whole genociding my great-grandparents thing
There's too much wrong with North Korea to justify keeping it in any longer. We're cutting legitimately bad countries now, apparently, so North Korea has got to go.
You want to be China, China wants to have you in it's fold. I'm going to make the call here and follow the UN of believing that The People's Republic is a stronger argument than The Republic, and call China the true China. Therefore it's time to shatter like the china plate I dropped yesterday.

Uruguay is a really great country. Great beaches, great food, great rainforests probably. But my ex-girlfriend Flo was born there and she's totally a bitch, like she broke up with me and broke my heart over a year ago and because I wished her a happy birthday last week she had the NERVE to get mad at me for trying to talk to her as if I'm the one that ruined her or something and I'm not allowed to talk to her because of it. Anyways Uruguay is a shitty country let's move on

well, cc, you weren't joking! controversial is the right word for that cut. and to be honest, it doesn't sit extremely well with me. so.
i think Uruguay was definitely a low point of the world. i think the nastiness involved with that country was pretty lowkey gross, and i did end up feeling pretty crappy second-hand just watching that. so like, most of the post i can definitely agree with. but, something i really can't agree with is the explicit positioning of cc vs flo in this cut, and--maybe it'd be better if it wasn't cc making the cut--but it just feels vindictive and petty here. i don't know if i can let it stand.
should uruguay and whoever panzer was be the next two out from planet earth? i wouldn't disagree with that, since they were actively not fun, and that's a big criterion for me. should this cut be made now, by this person? nah, don't really think so. let's not descend into acrimony and elitish cliquey yelling at the outside.
so, without further ado, i'm

. all votes cast for uruguay will not count. i'll read the votes.
Much like a lot of the previous cuts, Nauru is a tiny, tiny nation. Unlike the previous cuts, though, Nauru isn't just aggressively boring. Nauru is an actively shitty country.
They first sold all of their bird poop, then sold all of their soul by letting Australia pay them to serve as a holding cell for refugees. Frankly Nauru doesn't deserve to be in this Rankdown as an independent nation anyway; they are basically a part of Australia.
So the reason why this country needs to be cut is because I've worked at Chili's before. And Togo was the worst station to be at. You have to be responsible for the cash register, and answering the phones all while only getting 2 tables instead of the regular 3. You have to prep all the Togo bags with silverware, and every single moment there's another phone call. Then someone stops by the restaurant, and you can't even walk your food or greet a table, there's another lazy sweatpants wearing schlub who wants chips and salsa to go, along with a Taco Salad, but with extra avocado, but no I will not pay extra for the avocado, can I just get guacamole - oh wait, you charge for that too, what kind of place is this - why can't you just make my salad the way I want and deserve because this is America goddamnit? Plus Togo never tips. Also humans rights violations by their military who they call FAT (Forces armées togolaises). Stop eating all those Chicken Crispers they say, Boneless Buffalo Wings aren't good for your health they say. And say no to the Chicken Fajitas with the signature sizzle. How can you say no? Today I say no.
Normally I leave ice alone and it leaves me alone. But lately ice got tired of living on it's island and thought it should come to america and it's been an absolute disaster. I was watching the news earlier and it's killed 15 people this weekend and what's worse? the cops haven't done a thing. They haven't tried to arrest the icelander terrorists and they aren't investigating either. The police just don't do a good job anymore, all they do is write tickets, show up five hours after you need them, and shoot innocent people. I think the police are clearly influenced by the icelanders and being paid off. After all polICE has the word ICE in it, which just completely backs up my point. the police are corrupt and ice is responsible. this is an outrage and that's why this horrible place must go.
