I'm as suprised as you are.TopazFusion said:YAY!!
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.
Zimbabwe. And no i dont live in a round hut. I know there was at least one person tempted to ask me if i did.
U.S.A!

Born and raised American. Sadly, whenever I attempt to express any form of pride for my country, I adopt a very thick redneck accent. I think I used to do it for the fun of it, but now I don't even think about doing it. I usually speak in a very formal fashion with no accent, but as soon as I begin talking about America... YEEEE-DOGGIE!!!
Both sides of my family came from Germany quite a few generations back. While many of my friends are the same, this leads to me being the butt of a lot of Nazi jokes, thanks to my blonde hair and blue eyes.
I was born and raised in Canada, specifically Winnipeg, Manitoba. Our winters will freeze your fingers off and our summers are hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk. So you tend to fluctuate between bundled up in multiple layers to wearing as little clothing as you can without being charged for indecent exposure.
American by birth, Prussian, Austrian, Saxon(Contradictions everywhere.), Scottish and Dutch by hereditary. I hale from the wonderful state of Ohio, home of the world's highest library usage.
That's a good point and to answer your question its just a turn of phrase a good deal of us Americans like to use when referring to our country in a prideful manner. By comparison our country is certainly a young one but I suppose we think that 306 years is a good while.Tayh said:
GOOD OL' 'MERICA!
I live in Florida to be exact(my least favorite state -_-), right now I'm on vacation to Idaho (my favorite state
).
So don't give me no lip about "how hot the summer is".
95o F with %100 humidity is a GOOD day in Florida. Last winter the lowest it went was about 70o F.
It's why I love Idaho, no matter how hot it gets during the day, it always goes back to 50-60o F at night.

Well folks I'm incredibly astounded by the sheer amount of responses that I received in this forum. A great deal of the complaints and concerns posted are legitimate. The escapist does not allow any more than EIGHT possible answers to any given poll posted.
It's a damn shame cause there is such a great multitude of different people from different countries who have responded to this poll and, quite frankly, ONLY 8 POSSIBLE ANSWERS DOESN'T DO THIS POLL ANY JUSTICE SO THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO WORK WITH.
I made my decision on which seven countries would be in the first seven answers based on what I felt would be the most prolific countries represented on the forums...AND BOY WAS I WRONG WITH SOME OF THEM.
This has been a greatly educational experience for me and I sincerely thank all who have to taken the time to post. Thank you so much!
TLR Version: I only have 8 possible answers that I can post and I had not as good an idea of what countries would be the most represented on the forums (but hey that's why I made this poll: so I can find out just that).

Seeing as (at least according to the poll) Belgians aren't numerous on the escapist, Belgium was not a good idea for the first seven possible answersEleuthera said:We do not!Jonluw said:
I'm assuming the Netherlands got included as a counterweight to New Zealand, both for being at the exact opposite end of the planet and for having "Old" Zealand as one of our provinces.
No idea what Belgium is doing on there though
I'm British, more specifically English, more specifically from Shropshire. Charles Darwin was born here, you know. I've got to say, I'm surprised by how many Scandinavians and Finns there are here though.
