Strong military.

Doner kebabs.

Has a city that connects two continents (!)

Proud history and proud people, about as patriotic as Americans (from the ones I've met).

Was the next candidate for the EU earlier this century, definitely not going to happen now.

Was never a candidate. Will never. It will always be vetoed by Cypruss and Greece.
