MEMBERS FROM HOW MANY DIFFERENT COUNTRYS
 

I GOT CURIOUS AS TO HOW MANY COUNTRYS ARE CURRENTLY OR HAVE BEEN REPRESENTED ON THE FORUM. I AM FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SO THATS ONE COUNTRY.

I seriously doubt that you ever heard of it and the nomination sounds just like the name for a strange country from a marx brothers production... Well, I'm from Slovenia.

God save the queen! you can hum the rest.

Well, my country will win the soccer Worldcup this year.

Hint: the fans usually dress in orange ;)

well, my country of residence is going to win the worldcup after a few stirling victories over countries that prefer spelling contests. where are they holding the word cup by the way, my neice likes spelling bees.... :D

other than that i am in my more normal moments a citizen from the great state of Alabama, CSA.... we unfortunatley do not play soccer there much, we prefer shooting stuff or fishin'....

:D

I could represent 2 countries, I live and work in England, my mother is English, but my father is Egyptian.

Greece has at least 2 members here! Yiannis is from Athens and me from Crete.
Best Regards!

humm humm humm, for the glory of the empire! ...oh wait..

:D :D :D

I walk on wooden shoes, in spring I have tulips in the garden and when I drive to my work I see a mill.

USA, Michigan.
That's where real men play real football, not that girl game, with almost 2 hours of running back and forth and then cheering the great victory of 1:0 by group kissing and baring bras.

When we win, it is something like 49:27!

Then we grill hamburgers , drink beer and gain another 5 pounds in weight.

I eat Mamaliga, drink Tuica and, fully tanked I attempt to dance the Hora, all the time hoping "Dracula" won't crash the party :D
In my adopted country I pray for the Maple Leafs and drink Steam Whistle beer.

Poland
 

Gee, I'm not gonna get poetic ... :rolleyes: :D

I'm from country of Winged Horsemen and beautiful women :cool:

I Live in Pennsylvania, USA. But my fater is Polish and my mother is Ukrainian

I was born an Okie but visited about 28 countries by the time I was 10 years old. Now I reside in the suburbs of Washington DC, in the nuclear free zone of Takoma Park.

I am from Portugal, a nine hundred years old, tiny little nation, situated in the Iberian Peninsula. So little and ignored that, when i once travelled to a certain civilized European Country, a local girl asked me why i, being a Portuguese, didn't have curly hair ! Some years after, a studious friend of mine told me i had a Phoenician fascies. Apparently the Phoenicians used to come ashore, when they passed by my sea coast home town, on their route up north. But apparently those peoples didn't have a curly hair.

I'm from Fernando's neighbour country (oh, and I DO know where Aljubarrota is and what happened there ;) )
I'm from Spain, and with all its defects and virtues, I like this country. Home's home, after all :)

Currently living in the Nay Area, I was born and spent the first twenty years of my life in Bulgaria, so I still consoder myself Bulgarian. You can deffinitely count me as a representatuve and descendant of the people, who initially brought the sabre to Europe in the 7th century.

I am from Denmark, the country from where the charter tourism started. The Danes sailed to Ireland, England and many other countries to visit. Peaceful as they were, they only defended themselves when being attacked.
Now I live in a country far more south, with a lot of mountains, but also here are traces of the early Norse. In a chapel at the Wierwaldstettersee there is an inscription in runes, and the Norse were of course also life guards in Constantinople, which can be seen there.

I'm from Italy, the country of Sun (not in these days :o !)

Forza Azzurri!

My wife's Italian, but I did live there for 7 years. :)

Takoma Park is a nuclear free zone? How ... symbolic. And futile, of course. ;)

Hello,

Im from Arabia, the endless sand dunes, drenched with blood, Kuwait precisely :)

Our warmest welcome to you Sir .
We hope you will enjoy spending time here and we all hope to learn from you . :)

Thanks for the kind welcome, Mr.Rick ;)

Down under down under
 

I am from the island state at the bottom of Australia, Tasmania, home of the Tasmanian Devil much beloved of cartoonists. Next stop south is Antarctica. This place was settled by the British colonists a bit over 200 years ago, but for at least 50,000 years before that it was home to the indigenous Australians. So we have some recent history and some ancient history.
cheers

I do not want to sound contrarian, but I am a Bugs Bunny fan...

Welcome !

I live in Quebec, the french province of Canada where there is still endless forests... and winters. We eat "pâté chinois" and "tourtière", and are serious hockey fans.
Good think, it is a little bit more hot these days (spring time) :) !

Regards,
Zan

I am from a country where in the Summer the sun is up at midnight.
In winter people make a hole in the ice to take a bath and if you travel from south to north it's the same distance as if I would have gone down to Italy.
This weekend I am on an isolated small island in the archipelago 1,5 h boat ride outside the capital but still have perfect 3G connection.

Land of The RAINBOW SERPENT
 

G'day mates!
.... hiji basa, bangsa urang
.... leungit bahasa, leungit bangsa

Greetings to my overseas brother, the Taswegian...j/k:)

Hi,I'm Mick from Austr...no seriously....I come from the best country to find beer,chocolat and african art from Congo..........right,Belgium.
Regards,Danny :)

Thank you ariel :)

Singapura, oh Singapura. Sunny island, set in the sea...
 

Let me post one for my country. :)

I am a citizen of the Lion City, so named because a Srivijayan prince, Sang Nila Utama, thought he saw a lion when he landed on the island, or so the legend went.

These days, we are often referred to as the "little red dot" because we are so small that we don't appear on the map, and has to be marked by a red dot. :D

Our national mascot is the Merlion, a half lion, half fish mythical beast. Interestingly, this beast was a modern invention and had no roots in history. Our national flower is an orchid, called "Vanda Miss Joaquim".

The island was called Temasek a long time ago. It was once part of the territory of the Johore empire, the Riau-Lingga Sultanate, and probably Majapahit and Sri Vijaya, amongst others. Then, came the British in the 19th century, followed by the Japanese (rather unpleasent 3yrs 8mths during WWII), then the British came back again, and left, again, and after a brief merger with Malaysia, we became an independent sovereign nation on 9 Aug 1965.

Our current prime minister, Mr Lee Hsien Loong, is the son of the great Mr Lee Kuan Yew (I think he deserves to be called great for turning Singapore from a 3rd-world country to a developed nation, in the face of great adversity).

We are a well-integrated multi-racial society with the main ethnic groups being Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian.

If you have been to Singapore, you would probably have heard about "Singlish", and words/phrases like "kiasu", "shiok", "don't play play".

The people here are so pre-occupied with food that everywhere you go, you see... restaurants! From Thai to Vietnamese, Indonesian to Nepalese, African to American, French to German, Italian to Spanish, Korean to Japanese, and of course, Chinese, Malay, Indian. :)

Our national anthem is in Malay: "Majulah Singapura!" - Onward Singapore! :)

Don't know about country (US) but I perpetually live in the state of confusion. :confused: ( :D )

Well, I have two countries, I would say.
The one I'm coming from and the one where I live in.
The first is the country of paradox, a country that everybody loves and hates at the same time. For example, last year, this country had the world record for the number of burned cars in its streets and at the same time was the most visited for tourism purpose. It seems that I'm a compatriot of Galvano.
My other country, where I've been living in for nearly 15 years now, has no unions strikes, the stores are always open, even during the night or the week ends. In this island, the people are the nicest in the world but there are also daily earthquakes (we only feel the biggest tremors every two or three months). Another particularity : it is also a country that is still living under the threats of a thousand missiles pointed at it by a very big and "friendly" neighbour. Should I say it is Taiwan?

I'm from Belgium....more particularly the Flemish part of Belgium. In the past, we were governed by most other European countries, but we're still around !
Like Mapico1 said : the land of the best beer and tons of African stuff (if you can find it) ;)

Freddy

Home of the vikings, Gustav Vasa, the carolins, the midsummer, and the Dala horse ;) And the artic winter here in the north, Sweden ;)

But I lived in Laos for a few years.
