I only know Fanta the way it's made in Germany ... what's the difference between Fanta in Germany and Fanta in the U.S.?
Since Lillorainen's geography is currently being overhauled a 'tiny' bit, most information on it posted before December 12, 2018, is not entirely reliable anymore. Until there's a new, proper factfile, everything you might need to know can be found here. Thank you. #RetconOfDoom (Very late update, 2020/08/30 - it's still going on ...)

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

American Fanta is bright orange and it tastes sweet. It only tastes sweet. It's awful.

Probably. Stay away from American Fanta.

Although the color warns you to stay away already.

Cola. I remember saying cold drink before coming to the states but I don't know if that was a family thing, local thing, or a larger regional thing.

Soda. But most people in the south say coke.

Donald Keough, the Coca-Cola president and chief operating officer at the time, reported overhearing someone say at his country club that they liked New Coke, but they would be "damned if I'll let Coca-Cola know that".
