Apart from ice hockey, the only thing Canada has proven to be good at has been winning the monthly Afflictor Nation championship. That award goes to the foreign country that sends the most unique visitors to our idiotic site, and cold-as-fuck Canada has been the titleholder for four months running. But your reign is over, Canada, as some upstarts climbed the standings this month.
Until a couple days ago, the likely winner seemed to be Kuwait. And since Kuwait has the most liberal press laws of any Arab state, we were really pulling for that country. But Lithuania came on strong over the weekend and was ultimately the easy winner. Lithuania is used to global prominence since it was a world power as recently as the 14th-century. And now just seven centuries later it has returned to the winner’s circle as leader of Afflictor Nation. Congratulations!
