There's an option for New Zealand!
[sub]For some reason NZ is always left out in these threads, and we have to vote "other" or, heaven forbid, "Australia".[/sub]
Anyway, yes, New Zealand. Live here, was born here.

Really?

If it's pronounced "melborn", then I can hardly see your problem with people pronouncing it "incorrectly" since I'm certain it's just a case of them saying the name quickly.Shocksplicer said:Australia. Born in Melbourne, live in Brisbane now.
AKA two major cities in Australia which Americans somehow never pronounce correctly.
So, for my American friends, I was born in Melbern and now live in Brisbayne.
I know that feeling of embarrassment.dangoball said:I hail from the Great and Awesome Czech Republic!

Anyone know where that is? Anyone? Ah well...
Not so fast in hogging that title! We in the Czech Rep are quite fond of our knack for corruption and fund funneling as well! And stand mere 0.3 points higher on international corruption ranking than you guys. Take that EU!No social life said:South Africa - land of the corrupt politicians

More often than not I'm quite embarrassed to be Czech...
I agree United Kingdom is too broad. It's also short-sighted to assume that culturally and environmentally all countries in Britain are 'similar'. And Parliament's power over Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is very little. Those three countries are technically 80% independent from England. Also when you think United Kingdom, you think England. Some English people think that English and British are interchangeable.FluffyWelshCake said:My sentiment exactly, even though we're technically from the United Kingdom I consider myself Welsh first and foremost.scw55 said:Other - Welsh
