#2. Floccinaucinihilipilification means estimating a thing as worthless. It's a whimsical stringing together of a number of Latin words used to describe something as worthless.

#3. Copper, according to Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable.

#7. Probably the Witan (a.k.a. Witenagemot), which was the council of the Anglo-Saxon kings of England.

#11. A shell (confiremd in Chambers).

#14. Ohio, according to Brewer.

#4. Braille went blind at the age of three, according to Chambers Biographical Dictionary and Hutchinson's Encyclopaedia.

#10. A good few websites describe feijoada as a national dish of Brazil; so Portugal is probably the most likely candidate among European countries. The word certainly looks Portuguese.
