If I knew how to delete this thread, I would. There is a similar thread in the same forum that covers everyone. Please vote there.

Thank you.

So all of the East Asian countries count as "other" now, even though a large proportion of the world's population lives there?

Some would say Arizona. Most of the world would say the United States.

And I agree, the poll does suck. 'Africa' is a country now?
Im pretty sure Im being mean and stupid, but I have a headache, so you'll have to excuse me.

By the way, I always feel like I'm distorting the poll on these. Everyone always asks "Where do you come from?", no one asks "Where do you live?".

OP probably doesn't know any other countries in Europe.

Britain/UK and continents are not countries, the UK and continents are made up of several countries.

*gasp* Kiribati ain't on the list???? *moves away dejectedly*

Would have voted for Kiribati. I would like to vote too for the Central African Republic, but the closest choice lacks 16 letters. [/sarcasm]

On the other hand, I think that putting all of the >200 countries on a poll isn't practical. Maybe s/he thought that people from Britain, US and Australia are more likely to post here than those from, let's say, Côte d'Ivoire, El Salvador, or Laos. That's why s/he lumped them into regions. This is coming from a person who hails from the 'others'.

And the rest of Europe? Not even as a region. And it's not language business, if France is there.

p.s. South America isn't a country. Neither is the Middle East.

The purpose of this thread is simply curiosity. And as for the Middle East and South America not being countries, the number of options allowed weren't enough to list all the countries that would have been needed. So I had to include regions, which is why I said "or region".

It certainly looks like the US is winning, doesn't. But it won't be over 'til it's over.

20 Feb. BBC World: "The newly-established Republic of Other today assumed control of the United Nations Security Council, having inherited two permanent seats and all ten elected seats from former member states. ROO UN Ambassador Yule Sukmeov declared, 'With nearly half of the earth's population and land mass, and a third of global nuclear weapons under our control, we are in a position to kick the ass of any other nation in the so-called 'NS Where are you from' poll'."

I would like to delete this thread if possible. There is another poll up that covers everyone. Again, I am truly sorry. I was half asleep thanks to the fact that it was midnight, and I was a little out of it because of some sinus medicine I had taken. I hope everyone will recast their vote in the new poll. Thank you.
