https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_ant
>According to research published in Insectes Sociaux in 2009, it was discovered that ants from three Argentine ant supercolonies in America, Europe, and Japan, that were previously thought to be separate, were in fact most likely to be genetically related. The three colonies in question were one in Europe, stretching 6,000 km (3,700 mi) along the Mediterranean coast, the "Californian large" colony, stretching 900 km (560 mi) along the coast of California, and a third on the west coast of Japan
>researchers concluded that the three colonies studied actually represented a single global super-colony.[8][9]

>The researchers stated that "enormous extent of this population is paralleled only by human society", and had probably been spread and maintained by human travel.

We have more instances of calling products by the most famous/first brand to produce it, but can't rmember nation inspired ones now.

I think the only thing named after us is the serbian hound.

Unlike the Portuguese and Spaniards, we mostly cared about money when we colonised, not some stupid ideology. And our country turned out the better for it, and so did Indonesia, it's doing much better than Timor Leste, it's GDP per capita is like 3x as high.

Also, Latin America is a massive shithole, so it's not like the Spanish/Portuguese system of convert and fuck the natives actually works..

>Rutabaga has many national and regional names. Rutabaga is the common North American term for the plant. This comes from the old Swedish dialectal word rotabagge, from rot (root) + bagge (short, stumpy object; probably related to bag).[2] In the U.S., the plant is also known as Swedish turnip or yellow turnip.[citation needed] The term swede is used instead of rutabaga in many Commonwealth Nations,

Lol yeah suriname ande those carribean shitholes aren't exactly doing as well either
Also indonesia is not only huge but it occupied and killed east timor no wonder one is doing better than the other
You're doing well because of the hanseatic league and your position in the european continent nothing else to do with colonies. You were just terrible colonists period that's all we're saying
