Help me with my new location

So I moved away from the "Land of ice, fire and fish" and while I'm happy with the move, I'm not so pleased with having to give up my nifty location description. I liked how it combined my lurve for "The Song of Ice and Fire" and the fact that Iceland actually is the land of ice, fire and fish.

But what is Sweden? I've got absolutely nothing

Which is why I turn to you guys for help. Help me come up with a brand spanking new cool location description.

Pretty please?

Considering my username (and because it's all about me), Midgard seems appropiate.

How can a country that produced Ingmar Bergman, Ingrid Bergman, Greta Garbo, Ann-Margret, Britt Eklund, Inger Stevens, Max von Sydow, and, of course, Dolph Lundgren and ABBA be considered bland?

A decision has been made.

Land of Borking Meatballs wins!

Thank you all for the inspiration and good suggestions!
