Say a fun fact about your country's politics
When the military regime in Brazil ended, being conservative was shunned at so when political parties were allowed again in they all adopted lefty sounding names. This is why we have right-wing parties with names like "Progressive Party" and "Social Democratic Party".

Nationalist parties from Basque Country and Catalonia are key to rule the country, and they will only back presidents from the left of the spectrum, even if two of the most popular regionalist parties are nomincally centre-right/Demo-Christian. The only way for the right wing in Spain to rule is to win the general election by a landslide.

You estimate. If you can't tell it, you call the name of the first candidate and count all the hands, then candidate two, etc.

Fun political facts about Germany:

-Half of the federal government is still in Bonn.
-Parts of the current German constitution point towards several articles of the Weimar Republic, which means parts of the Weimar constitution are still in force.
-The border between Luxembourg is literally the Mosel. No it's not the shore or the middle of the river, the border is quite literally the river itself as agreed by both countries, making it the widest border in the world.
-According to the official protocol the rank of the German chancellor is only #3 of the government.
-There is no fixed economical order proscribed in the German constitution and it explicitly allows for nationalization of industry.

Whether or not Liberals or Conservatives win the federal elections hinges on if Quebec votes for Liberals (Liberal win) or for BQ (independentist party) (in which case, Conservatives would win)

Not true. Conservatives also win when NDP wins big in Quebec.

What happens if someone does something illegal in the river but the two countries have different sentences or it's legal in one of the countries?

We are friendly countries so one state will cede sovereignty depending on the circumstances, there even might be a joint investigation.

The quality of Brazilian posters has made me hope and pray that you never gain prominence.
But it's perhaps unfair of me to judge an entire nation by it's online social rejects.

Blaine County, Montana has voted for the winning candidate for President every election since 1912 with one exception.

This means that the county is more accurate than picking the President than America itself
