👉 Country research is like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded but with the added twist of a map as your only guide. It's a fancy term for sifting through dusty old books, obscure websites, and a whole lot of questionable local gossip to figure out the secrets and nuances of a particular country's culture, politics, or cuisine. It's the ultimate adventure for those who can't resist the allure of a good mystery, even if it's about their own backyard.
Example sentence: "Last week, my country research led me to believe that the best way to impress your local barista was to recite the entire history of your nation's penchant for lattes, complete with a side of sarcasm."
