I come from the internet.
It has fierce wild life, but there are many points of interest dotted everywhere about and there's something for everyone.

I come from the United states, more specifically Iowa. Nothing much here but corn, but John Wayne was born here so that's cool I guess.
Other...because apparently Mexico is still isn't being considered as part of North America by this poll, and forgot all of Central America and the Caribbean, and Africa, apparently. I really don't get why a lot of people in the English speaking part of the American continent can't remember their closest neighbors.
Australia! Brisbane, in fact. No, I've never met Yahtzee, and don't intend to ever met him (I have walked past the Mana Bar, but I don't drink, so I have no reason to go into a bar). Brisbane's a great place to live, and a damn boring one to visit. It's a very nice city, but all the tourist attractions are in the rest of Queensland, not Brisbane itself. We've got a ferris wheel, and that's about it.
I've lived in Australia for 20 years now - it's the only country I have concrete memories of. I like it here - it's a damn nice country. It's not perfect, but then again, no country is perfect. Best of all, we're stable. We don't have huge cultural variations from state to state (except the city-rural cultural divide, but that's in all countries), our politics have mostly been settled to a large degree and we've got a good economy, good hospitals, good universities and good forests and beaches. Australia does have problems - we've got a censorship board for one, although it's called the "classification" board - and we're not the perfect paradise often portrayed on UK TV, but we're a mostly safe, happy place to live.

Hooray for Silence of the Lambs references. Also, a fellow Englishmen here and to quote the immortal Mr. Croshaw: 'it's a grey, flat, miserable place more hung up on its past glory than William Shatner.' But it's still homeDaystar Clarion said:

Hehe, 32% of Minnesota populations ancestry is from Scandinavia though, so not a big surprise if there's a viking mascot :3Atheist. said:
"The team was officially named the Minnesota Vikings on September 27, 1960; the name is partly meant to reflect Minnesota's place as a center of Scandinavian American culture"
Pulling this from Wikipedia...so you never know...xD
