Poll: What is your nationality?

[Nietz]

I was born in the small town of Skotterud, which is in Norway. It's pretty much a stones throw away from the Swedish border. But I was raised partially in Karlstad and Stockholm, which both lie in Sweden.

At the moment I live in Stockholm, the glorious capital of Sweden(and Scandinavia, if you believe the propaganda).

Spoiler: Stockholm

Heh, looking at pictures of Karlstad really makes me miss Getingberget. It used to be the place to go to during those nice warm summers.

Australia mate currently in the Byron Bay area some people should know Byron it's a big tourist hotspot.

I hail from the Great and Awesome Czech Republic!
...
Anyone know where that is? Anyone? Ah well...

South Africa - land of the corrupt politicians

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!
...
More often than not I'm quite embarrassed to be Czech...

It's funny how online everyone hates on people from America, and in America everyone hates on people from New Jersey...

I'm from Oireland so I guess I fit into other, again.

One day we will make the poll list!


[sub]one day[/sub]

*chuckles at national injoke*

You might say that one day... our day will come?

We never make the bloody polls, man. I remember a thread that started out asking if people were Irish- ie, born in Ireland etc, but it got flooded with people whose grandmother's sister's goldfish once knew an Irish person.

*sighs*
Our statistics were ruined!

May I just express my admiration for your capital Prague. I've yet to visit a more enchanting European city. Karluv Most was my favourite part of that trip.

In any case, corrupt Irish politicians and Czech politicians should have a convention to exchange ideas on how to rip us all off even more efficiently!

You are just unfortunate in that USA has a large population which in turn means that the extremist groups (uneducated idiots like say NephilimFree on YouTube) are larger and more vocal. But on the flipside you should also have a larger group of people with a correspondingly higher IQ (and an even larger group of just bog standard, average people).

 

[Mojo]

Belgium and no Germany?

Well, okay then.

I am from Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia.

Maybe you have heard of the City of Cologne?

Likely more people have heard of Cologne than of "Roggen Bread"...or Roggenbrot...or Rye Bread : P. AFAIK it's the next most well known city after Berlin and of Course, there's the Gamescom.

We're sort-of Neighbors by the way.

Bonn (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany)

German/American here, live in Cologne too. Got my Gamescom ticket in my wallet next to me.
My moms from Chicago though, but my dads from Germany.

I'm not a supporter of the RA, just to get that out there!

There're a fair few Irish people on here, at a guess I'd say there're more Irish than Belgian. Yeah, it would be difficult to get an accurate poll, given how people are really into identifying themselves by their ancestry. We have a group that a handful of us use quite regularly though.

Since I picked "other" I feel morally obliged to answer for the sake of statistical correctness.

Western Australa...the uninteresting part youve never heard of

So true, unless you're boring and talk about wine.
The cheese is nice though.

we have a ram

I mean wooooo!! check it out! its a ram!

Yeah, but people go to New Zealand to see things like that...

OT: Australian... Tasmania... the place you hear even LESS about...

Hey, at least you don't live in Adelaide, right?

As for me, I'm in the hip and happenin' Melbourne. Or at least it would be it it wasn't freezing right now...

Btw that poll has just about all the main Anglosheres apart from Ireland, poor Irish

Wow, there are more Brits on here than Americans? Interesting. On the other hand there are even more Australians. Then again maybe Americans don't post much in these threads and thus ironically seem much fewer than they actually are.

Expect the results of that Poll to look increasingly American as the day moves on, time zones and that.

haha! Oh, apologies, dude! Jeeze, I didn't want to imply that at all Neither am I, and I pretty much take it as a given that most sane, rationale people aren't...
Like your good self.

Yeah, take that Belgium! No longer will they ciphon off our thunder! lol
That's very true, even when the OP waded in and laid down the terms of reference it just fell on deaf, plastic shamrock ears.
I think I may have joined that group at one point, though I'm pretty terrible at using it very often!

And it is unbelievably hot, although there might be raining soon (I hope..)

American for many generations, here.

Interesting to see the statistics. I wonder if ZP attracted all the British and Australians?

 

[twaddle]

what do we choose for dual citizenship. I guess I'm more US native than american native, but ask me and i will deny it up and down.
