I read the Subsim forums and I'm from country X...

I just wanted to get a better feel for what demographics are represented on the forums. Sometimes it seems mostly European, and other times it seems mostly American (including Canada).

So where you from? Lets take a poll and see where peeps are coming from.

North America currently in the lead, but that may be do to time zone post differences. We be interesting to see how it pans out after a day or two.

Why no one ever adds in New Zealand in polls such as this, oh yeah but i see Australia always added, but noooooooo, little old New Zealand is classed as OTHER!!!

No guesses where im from.

Finland. I included it in the Mainland Europe option.

This is a very tricky question.

Where are you from as in where you were born? Or where you spent most part of your life? Or where you currently reside? Or where you spent the best period of your life? Or where is the favourite country you ever lived in?

I'm a happy bunny and I've jumped around a few times.

To those who never left their country of birth or continent: you can never fully know your country without ever looking at it from the outside. Unless you think staring face to face at Michelangelo's David's penis is a sight big enough.

Whatever, I'll vote where I was born.

Being a happy bunny myself, I've voted for my place of birth as well.

I would say mainland Europe but you maybe like to be different

and to keep our New Zealand friends happy you should add Oceania next time.........last thing we want is angry Kiwi's

Skybird · 07-26-06, 09:57 AM

I take it that the Netherlands are not part of the European mainland. Do you expect them to sink in the ocean soon?

Don't feel bad, they always lump Texas in with the US, too.

Hmmm...this time I see Canada is now merged with the US :rotfl:
