I didn't see Rand McNally listed. I am not surprised by the stats I'm seeing so far though, but I expected there to be a lot more UK visitors for some reason.
I live in Sweden. Greatest of the nordic countries.
The others might tell you differently. But don't listen to them.
They're just jealous.
You know... that big, pointy building.

OT: Canada. Heritage from the Nordic regions and Great Britan.
I'm stealing that line, just so you know.Shock and Awe said:

...why would you vote Australia? It'd be less blasphemous and hereticalto simply not vote if there is no other.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.
But also, *Waves hands around all womany* New Zealander here, too.
I knew it had to be either Edmonton or "Deadmonton," as you call it, or Calgary. And yeah no, I don't live in either of those 2 cities.Goofguy said:

Is the general opinion of the British in Argentina similar to the British's opinion on Argentina?
I bid you all a fond tally ho from London. Now if you'll excuse me, there are some upper-lips that need stiffening.
Yeah but, Belgium and the Netherlands? Above Germany? They have tiny populations in comparison. It's just a bit odd... especially since they're not even English speaking.alexwbyrd said: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!

Notice how the USA overtook the UK after they all woke up, haha. I forget that the US time zones are about 6 hours behind our one.
U.S., Seattle
but since all Americans trace from somewhere else (unless they are native american):
Grandparents from Czarist era Ukraine on one side. From way back in US on other side (and before that a mix of scottish/irish/british, dunno the percentages). We suspect some native american on this side, due to some interesting family photos, but no one has been curious enough to pony up for a blood test to find out.
but then again, ya never know w/family history. Maybe someone in the past had an affair and didn't tell her hubby, and you're really related to an entirely different family than you believe, maybe even unconnected from your family name. W/out a blood test, ya just don't know. Both cambridge and oxford (for a fee) can dna test your mother's mother's mother's line, or father's father's father's (or both) and compare your dna to past or current genetic world distributions for an undisputable scientific look at your ancestry. Have never done it myself though.
