Very clever cartoon, but who is the one spanking Australia? What country has a white flag with a red cross?
Norway is blue with a red cross on a blue cross, Finland is a blue cross on a white flag, Denmark has a white cross on a red flag.

I guess it must be England. I think the English flag is a red cross on a white field. It is part of the "Union Jack". And the monocle seems to suggest England as well.

England.

The colors of England are the cross of St. George The Flag of Great Britain is the cross of St George and the Cross of St Andrew superimposed.

This cartoonist is Scandinavian, her perspective on international affairs and steriotypes is her usual subject.

In this one the subject is difficult accents, but is being American or haveing a potato in your mouth a bigger disadvantage?

Denmark wanted America to say this [link] because Danes love to make foreigners say it.

All the other Nordic countries joke that Danish sounds like Swedes talking with a potato or porridge in their mouths, while Danes joke that Swedes sound like drunk Danes, and Norwegians sound like drunk Danes singing.

   I wondereed if a cartoon about language might appeal to you, nice to find something you like Merry Christmass!

   If you want to peruse the arcive of that cartoon ,be warned ,you will find that she also gets randy , raunchy and explicit, I suppose this is part of her nordic POV.
