Combining everyone else's ideas: is it the location of the CZ motorcycles factory?

I think J-V-V must have started his hibernation early.

Winner. (Sorry been away to say bye to me 89 year old mum who is not long to live)
CZ--multiple World Championships in 250 and 500cc. Riders such as the great Belgian Joel Robert
from Charleroi,
Paul Friedrichs from the old DDR,
countless wins with Roger DeCoster, the great and friendly (and for me very helpful) Englishman Dave Bickers from Coddenham, 20km from Ipswich (I walked that distance one December night in 1970 when I was 17.Got poor Dave out of bed at 0220 in the middle of the night).
And who can forget the great battles of CZ rider Jaroslav Falta against the mighty KTM team full of Russian ganging up---Kavinov, Churavay, Ovichinnikov, and Rulev all blocking and ramming--and costing Falta the 1974 250cc Crown..
Rooskie ramming Falta Swiss GP 1974
Much like Skoda, CZ was a amazing little company fighting effectively the giants...
Best transmission I ever knew..100% reliable and good for full throttle upshifts with no clutch. wiggle your toe and it would shift...full gas...
Falta again

Ok, here's the question: "Which country makes the most false teeth?"

I bet that this is one of those questions which plays on national stereotypes and then turns out to be true anyway...

I've heard that the baker uses his false teeth to scallop the edges of his pies.
What does he use to put the hole in his donuts?The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!
