Polls are fun, because they allow taking part even if someone has only a few seconds of time ^^ Or even if someone only reads this in a small mobile phone ^^ One mouse click is enough...

I am just trying to help pass the waiting time, until the next Kubera release or Company translations..

If you wish to specify from where you come from directly, then please comment. Otherwise this is supposed to stay anonymous, so everyone can take part without directly revealing personal data ^^

If you are traveling a lot, then please vote for the country you were born in, or the country that you belong to as a citizen ^^ Also possible, voting for the country you absolutely FEEL you belong to, even if your citizenship was not granted yet ^^

I personally cannot reveal where I was born (since I am in hiding from those pesky Half hunters), but right now I live in Germany. I am a Half = half German, half something else ^^

---------------------------------------------------------
Update: I fixed the poll (added Latin America, Central Asia, former Soviet Union), I hope it shows all continents and areas now =_=;;

I'm from Spain. ^^

While I've always lived in the USA, I've always wanted to travel (haven't been able to yet... ). I'd be one messed-up quarter, my heritage is really wacky. UK/Ireland, Russia, Germany, Bohemia, Native America...

I've lived in a couple different places in the US, and I've yet to get away from people who've heard about me from others (or knew me when I was a little kid). Hence why I try to keep a low profile. ^^

Can I include Scandinavia in the last option?... Yes I Can. Now. I'm swedish.

But did Sweden and Scandinavia not belong to Europe?? o_O;; (confused)

Scandinavia is a region in northern Europe. The Scandinavian Peninsula is the largest peninsula in Europe and it extends from above the Arctic Circle to the North and Baltic Seas. Scandinavia is a historical and geographical region covering much of Northern Europe.
In the past, Scandinavia has been defined as the three kingdoms that historically shared the Scandinavian Peninsula. Today, most define Scandinavia as a region which includes:

• Denmark
• Norway
• Sweden
• Finland and Iceland are generally included.
• Greenland, however, is rarely included.

Wikipedia says also:
Sweden is the third largest country in the European Union by area, with a total population of about 9.5 million.

Or are you secretly plotting to leave the European Union again, just that we know nothing of it yet ^^?

...I removed Italy and added Sweden now, so it is clear Northern Europe is included too, not just Central Europe and Southern Europe.. there is a limit to how many words 1 poll-choice is allowed to have, so I had to keep it shorter, otherwise I would write all the countries that belong to each of the continents =_=;;

In the end, were you referring to the North Pole, because it is so cold in Northern Sweden ^^?

America.

Texas to be specific.

Weird fact: Apparently my state is referred to as the Outback of the US. Something about a profusion of poisonous insects and snakes alarming the northerners.

Technically, there are several transcontinental countries (Turkey, Egypt, Denmark) but Russia is the first one that comes to mind. Also, don't forget Latin America and the small islands under North America.

Scandinavia is part of Europe, Boredoom, you silly. C:

[Boredoom]

I know very very well that scandinavia is part of europe. ;L just ... *sits in a corner*


Also, sweden is quite warm for being situated so far north. Very warmer than most other places at same ...wth was the word now ><, because of the gulf stream. But it can be pretty cold anyway, specially above the arctic circle

Just curious as to why you included Denmark in there, unless your thinking of Scandinavia as a separate continent from Europe( which, you just said it isn't, thus my curiousity).

Btw i'm form Canada, BC to be specific

I know very very well that scandinavia is part of europe. ;L just ... *sits in a corner*

D: um.. um.. but... I did not mean to start any international country border or origin disputes D: I just tried to make it as neutral as possible, following the usual geography stuff I learned in school.. but I admit I do not have very high education, just finished primary school, and then 2 years of middle school, and then started working... =_=;;

..so.. if there is some dispute going on about Scandinavia not belonging to Europe, I do not know about it at all D: ...plus, officially, it does belong to Europe, both politically and geographically, I looked it up, since I was not sure...

I do not mean to insult anyone personally, I know how difficult those border disputes may be, my own country (the Sura part), has been damaged and the borders moved really badly, so the area where I was born now belongs to a completely different THIRD country =_=;; ..just like the Sura being banned to their poisonous Sura Realm ..the house I was born in got destroyed too, just like Leez village, and big parts of my family were killed back then...

So, this is just a general poll, and the choices are based on simple geography, and common presumptions from the news and encyclopedia etc, and does not mean to insult anyone ^^ I know some countries have strange borders, or belong to groups or parts of the world they are not happy with =_=;;

Even if I would be inclined to make a separate choice for Scandinavia, out of sheer sympathy for Boredoom and krackenker, but... if I start changing the choices for each part of the world that is disputed or where there are political differences, this entire poll would get wrecked =_=;; So please comment if I forgot something important, but if possible bear with the generic choices =_=;;

..I would also like to know what it is actually that makes Scandinavia NOT belong to Europe? I read that you did not join the Euro, and still have Swedish Krona, is it about the currency you dislike? ..there were no wars, or anything like that I would remember..? o_O (really confused now)

[Eleean]

I'd like scandinavian countries to be considered part of Europe. Don't let all cool, not-hot places fly away. We already don't have Siberia and Canada, Leez would never visit us if there's is a melting danger.

*totally random comment. Love Scandinavia, btw.
