I agree for greece as inventor of philosophy but not for poetry, in fact poetry in old greece was very poor and they have called nearly any literature "poetry".
Germany as "Nation of oompa bands"...hm, i've to think about this. You could be right.
"nation of beer and sausage"
This is mere prejudice (or envy because our beer is the best
)...
