We even participated in the Eurovision Song Contest at one point (biggest regret imo).

Wait, why was that regretful? o.o

I have to say that there's probably too many mosques

There's more churches than businesses in my county here, I completely understand that sentimen-

Try appropriately 40 thousand.

u wot mate

You guys really need to try our couscous. It's delicious.

I'll look into it! Thank you for your reply :D

Not only did we only participate once for a single year, it ended up being a poor result, receiving only 7 points from Italy and getting 18th/19. The Moroccan broadcaster chose not to return. It's actually even more of a problem now because of... things that happen that offend the Moroccan state, such as LGBT rights. Also, Israel participating would result in massive boycotts if Morocco participates alongside them.

Yeah, counties are small. Morocco is bigger than most European countries.

u wot mate

Yep. It's actually true.

Anyway that's all the additional stuff I have to say.
