What Country Should Epcot Add to Its World Showcase?

(I'm not trying to start a rumor, but I'm saying IF Disney World in Orlando was going to expand its World Showcase, which country would you want them to add and why?)
EPCOT's World Showcase already holds Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, (Colonial) America, Japan, Morocco, France, the UK, and Canada; but sooner or later, people will crave more, no? And I am sure they have room to expand if they wanted.

What do I think? O: Well, thank you for asking! I would LOVE to see Greece in the World Showcase for three reasons:
1. Greek food and history is yummy! I mean - if they can have Italy, they should have a Greece! Greece has Hummus, Gyros... I'm drooling just thinking about it!
2. Disney could make HUGE profits during the Olympics! Heck, I know Disney, and they would suck that baby for everything she's worth! Of course, they would have to get permission from the Olympics people, I guess, but it's possible!
3. And lastly, it makes me so sad to see that Hercules and Megara aren't shown in many of the parks or parades. They're becoming forgotten, or not even known, by the younger kids! Greece would give them a chance to meet the Hercules characters, like Morocco does to Jasmine and Aladdin.
What country do you think should be added to the World Showcase? Why?

Does it have Africa? They can even throw in starving children to work the costumes and junk. Make it authentic.

@cutesycharm@xanga - Africa has a little area.

Greece is good! I would love to see Hercules & Meg. They're one of the forgotten Disney couples!!! Brazil would be nice. The cartoon with Jose & Donald made me want to go see it & it makes you want to dance. The music is good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mQHr8bAojU. The Philippines would be cool too. I have a lot of Filipino friends & it's a beautiful country. I wanna go someday.

i vote slovakia. i'm part slovak so i would love it. dunno about anyone else. :) something eastern european though. they appear to be lacking those countries. russia, romania, ukraine, bulgaria, hungary etc.. and south american countries appear to be missing also. mexico doesn't count - its part of the north american continent. or australia
what exactly qualifies a country to be in epcot?

I plan to visit Greece next year, so Greece is a good choice, with all the history, sights, and food. Another choice maybe Middle East?

Greece was at least featured as part of Epcot's annual International Food & Wine Festival going on currently, which draws big crowds. I was just there yesterday..mm, baklava! :P It's a start, anyhow.

Greece, Hawaii (I know that's American, but the food and culture are more Polynesian), Switzerland or Sweden, Thailand, Korea, Peru, New Zealand, and just a whole lot of others even if it's just to sample a few things!

Finland in my opinion...
I come from Italy and I can tell you that the Finnish food is GREAT, so if they can have italy for its food...why not finland? And remember that Finland is the land of Santa!

GOOD IDEA!!! i also think they really need Russia, for no other reason than that the architecture of the building would be fabulous... not to mention russian food is also really good and not well known by most people.

Haha I have always said they should add Greece! Greek food is my favorite.
Other than that, I'd vote for Ireland, India, or Egypt. :)

Australia: the aboriginals are one of the oldest cultures out there.
Russia: a fundamental country in world history needs to be on that ride.
Although, frankly the ride is so boring I don't think many people would care.

I'm Korean and being biased I'd say Korea,
but Greece sounds better because it's more popular and interesting
plus on top of that this country has way too many korea-towns floating around
haha

Greece, Finland, Sweden, India (why didn't they have that before?? Hello?!), Thailand, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, perhaps? Disney could use more internationalism!

@cutesycharm@xanga - Note: the question asked, "What COUNTRY..." Shows how much you know about Africa since you speak of it with such confidence.
