"What A Country!" is a comedy television series shown between 1986 and 1987. It was based on the British sitcom Mind Your Language and follows the theme of an (American) English language teacher (played by actor Garrett M. Brown) trying his best to teach a group of foreigners who are trying to pass the citizenship test.

The characters include Nikolai (a Russian taxi driver), Laslo (a retired Hungarian doctor), Ali (a Pakistani), Robert (the son of a deposed African king), Maria (the housekeeper working for a rich Beverly Hills family), Victor (a Hispanic in love with Maria) and Yung Hi (a shy Chinese woman). Actress Joan Courtney played the character of the principal. Yakov Smirnov played the taxi driver; his catchphrase provided the show's title.
