Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / Song
Spanish term or phrase: País acuarela
It´s the title of a song. I know what it means and how to translate it literally, so I´m asking for help to find a title that would describe a country with a wide variety ethnia and cultures (hence the title)... please avoid "watercolour land" or "colourful country" and such titles as I already have plenty of them but don´t really like them. Thank you!
