wondering. this game is made in britian (atleast i think it is) so i'm expecting high levels of british votes. im canadian!

i'm american, eh?

Would "Canadian" be Québécois? Suédois, then.

Australian

Strewth! Crikey! Stone the farkin' crows!

what is your nationality? in canadian?

...but I don't speak Canadian :(

Er... Canuck.

Oh great, I just voted and it says "Austrian" instead of "Australian"

:(

Er... Canuck.

Canuck with a side of beaver tail. Yum!

Love the random inclusion of "Austrian" in the poll. :D

My passport says I'm German. But my current residence is Australia.

Oh i mean your blood lineage not your resiedencey

Everybody loves a russian

Oh, and chalk me up for a Limey.

I thought nationality meant the country you were born in. o.o

I thought nationality meant the country you were born in. o.o

Which, of course, begs the question as to what exactly American or Canadian "blood lineage" would be. Other than Native American/First Nation, of course.

part(in blood amount only. Full in spirit ;)) native america, rest is made up of a myriad of ethnicities that came to america. -nods-

Oh i mean your blood lineage not your resiedencey

Oh...uh...I was born in Canada but my parents are from India...so I guess I'm Indian

well, thats what i mean..your contry you were born in...er...um.. AAHHH!! must snipe away the confusion

:sniper::sniper::sniper::sniper::sniper::sniper::sniper::sniper::sniper::sniper:

Snipers, ATTACK!!!!!

I thought nationality meant the country you were born in. o.o
There’s problems both ways.

If you say nationality is where you are born then folks like my father, who was born in Northern Rhodesia (modern-day Zambia) and moved away when he was three, are in a funny position. Sticking with the example of my dad, his parents are both Scottish, and he has lived in Scotland for the vast majority of his life. Does his birth in what is now Zambia make him Zambian? Or, as Zambia didn’t exist when he was born, is he Rhodesian?

OTOH, if we say nationality is where your parents and other family come from, then folks whose parents, grandparents, etc., moved around are also in a funny position; potentially multiple nationalities appear, though states won’t legally recognise this.

Highlight’s the weirdness of nation-states and nationality in the first place.

I'm English (not "British").

I’m English (not “British”).
If we’re doing it like that, then I’m Scottish. :p

*waits for the Cornwall nationalists*

American. Trying to track my ancestry any more leads to overwhelming confusion.

If we’re doing it like that, then I’m Scottish. :p

"May he sedition hush and like a torrent rush, rebellious Scots to crush..."

At this point? American. Lineage? Oh dear ... German, Bohemian, Swedish, Norwegian, English, Irish, Scottish ... I think that's it.

“May he sedition hush and like a torrent rush, rebellious Scots to crush...”
Ah yes, the verse we don’t sing now we’re all friends.

As for Mr. Wade, he certainly served his purpose; those roads are great to get up north.

oooh blood lineage? then i come from the ocean :D

I'm American by birth, I am German by ancestry.

American by birth, German by ancestry.

I'm a third generation American, of Sicilian/Puerto Rican ancestry.

Fourth generation New Zealander, of Scottish, English, Irish, and Spanish ancestry, in that order of proportion.

Is Austrian some kind of joke or is that a spelling error that should say Australian?

Native-born American.
German, Italian, and Swedish descent....into chaos!

I support the United States government and am a proud American citezen. However, I have always considered myself to be culturally Chinese.

Quick question, what if you were born in international waters? I was, but still, what if?

Then you belong to the seas.

*sacrifices you to Proteus*

Quick question, what if you were born in international waters? I wasn't, but still, what if?

Ya know, Austria IS a real country.

Pfft.. it went out of style after The Sound of Music aired.

Oh, we're playing the ancestry game. Well, in that case, I'm a Canadian of mixed english/scots/french descent (with a wacky irishman lurking around in the family branches).

All of my great-grandparents were off the boat, with the exception of the french-canadian side which can trace back to a Parisian emigrating in the late 19th century.

I'm also very distantly related to Rene Levesque. (You may now pelt me with rotten fruit.)

You know if people would just fill their profiles out.... :rolleyes:

The proletariat has no fatherland, we all are foreigners!

wondering. this game is made in britian (atleast i think it is) so i'm expecting high levels of british votes. im canadian!

Born in America, ethnically French, German, Scottish, Irish, English, Flemish, Cherokee, and Welsh.

I, however, identify whole-heartedly as an American, as noted by my tendency to immediately leap to playing the United States in any game one can play as them.

i'm an Australian who was recently in Austria.

no kangaroos roam free in Austria!!!!!!!!!

Danish :cool:

Oh i mean your blood lineage not your resiedencey

if you mean blood lineage, supposedly every human on earth is ultimately decended from 20,000 in auldivoi!

so where in the world we were individually born don't make diddly.

besides, i don't believe in nationality anyway. ethnicity in the sense of indiginous culture is another matter.

my mother's side comes by way eastern european jews over a century ago and my father's was a mix of highland scotts, hessian, and wee bit of onondagwa for good measure.

country of birth and residence (as was that of both of my pair-ants), under educated snakes of friggin a-merry-kkay.

.../\...

Dutch

Yet another hoser.

I am a native-born American.

Guess what I am...

But I am German in descent.

When asked my nationality I say Irish (if i'm not at home), Northern Irish (if i'm at home) and British if I have to fill out official looking forms

Other: Latvian

Love the random inclusion of "Austrian" in the poll. :D


Yes. We should have a poll suggesting Canadian / American / British / Basotho. :p

Anyway, I have dual nationality (British & French), but since I live in France, I voted "Other".

Oh i mean your blood lineage not your resiedencey

In that case, Ethiopian.

We're all Ethiopian by descent. :p

from memory, my ancestry is mostly Scottish and English. there's an appreciable amount of French in there too, at least compared to anything Else.

if you trace that further back it probably ends up in Germany and Italy. romans and Saxons and all.

honestly, though, there comes a point where it becomes ridiculous, so, I'm 'ethnically European' 'of British descent' and a New Zealander by birth and allegiance. [which isn't to say i'm loyal to the government. ... you think the USA's bad? take a close look at NZ's government sometime. it's a lot of the same shit... but the people doing it are actually Intelligent :S ... be afraid. i'll stop before i get into another rant on the subject.]

Quick question, what if you were born in international waters? I wasn't, but still, what if?

Then your nationality would be determind by that of your parents.

Oh, and I'm an Irish citizen, and my ancestory is Irish, English, French and Scandinavian(and possibly other stuff), unless I'm wrong about my family history, which I may be.

Nationality is in most cases determined by that of your parents. As far as I know, only in the US it matters where you were born, elsewhere it's fairly irrelevant...

It depends on the nationality. As I understand it you can't have dual Polish citizenship(i.e, you can't be a citizen of Poland if you're a citizen of anywhere else), but I'm not sure exactly how that works.

nooooooo!!! there's too many americans on the forums (not being mean or anything, america's alright, but i was hoping for more canadians)

I'm chines, ukrainine, first nations (but you have to go a bit back for that one) french and a tiny bit of scothish (just a liitle)

Silly person, everyone is an American!
(Or will be...someday.)

Being a Michigander I'm almost Canadian. For example, I go to Tim Horton's every morning, a very Canadian thing to do, but I don't get a double-double, which isn't very Canadian.

Anyway, I'm American and my ancestors were German, English, Irish and Ojibwe, in that order.

Icelander born and bred, with just a smattering of French blood.

I don't think the poll is quite representative. Either that, or NSG has become very Americanised.

Which is correlated with it becoming more and more boring. Hmmm....

Right. OK to say for an European, just wait until Russia, Iran, and all the other countries invade Europe. You without your guns would be knocked down without much resistance. I would be safe with my rifle, my Grandfathers 3 or 4 pistols, and my fathers 15 guns.

Rule number 1: Don't start or have a land war in Asia.
Europe :eek: :mp5: America

I voted for Austrian because my state is governated by one. I'm guessing that's probably the closest we'll come to being able to use that option.

*prepares to be proven wrong by a flood of genuine Austrians*

I would be safe with my rifle, my Grandfathers 3 or 4 pistols, and my fathers 15 guns.

So Your rifle, Your Dad and Your Grampy are enough to defeat Russia, Iran, and all the other countries? Lol...

THEY WERE 3.00

AGAINST A MILLION

:D


BTW. Pole, though the fun stuff is that my last name probably comes from an XVIII Century Portuguese settler.

Quick question, what if you were born in international waters? I wasn't, but still, what if?

There was a girl in my home town who couldn't get a birth certificate or passport.

She was born on an aircraft

Mother british
Father Irish - parents not married
Plane indonesian
Airspace Austalian

I think rules have changed but at that time if your mother was British but your father wasn't and you were born outside the UK you couldn't get British nationality

She couldn't have Irish because she was born outside Ireland and her parents were not married

She could get Indonesian citizenship if she went to live there and learned Indonesian language and culture

The Australians basically said she had nothing to do with them

I have n idea what happened in the end - i suppose she became British by naturalisation.

Scotland for independance!

Death to everyone else!

Especialy the English!

And the Americans!

And Europians!

And Asians!

And other Scots!

Right. OK to say for an European, just wait until Russia, Iran, and all the other countries invade Europe.

Russia?

Iran? (this gave me the biggest laugh)

All what other countries?

I don't see many mobilising their troops for an all out assault on Europe.

You without your guns would be knocked down without much resistance. I would be safe with my rifle, my Grandfathers 3 or 4 pistols, and my fathers 15 guns.

Yeah, because all of Europe is de-gunned.

Finland, Switzerland, eastern europe, western armies...no guns there at all.

Rule number 1: Don't start or have a land war in Asia.

Should have told that to the US govt. back in, say, 2001.

Europe :eek: :mp5: America

Point well made.

If we’re doing it like that, then I’m Scottish. :p

Before the Cornish get in, then i am one of the Lindisware ((Lincolnshire Independence))

You learn a new thing every day...

Politically, I'm British. Geographically, I'm Irish.

Ya'll have to be nice to him. It's obvious he can't be over twelve and apparently got lost and accidently wandered into a grownup site.

Give him a lollypop -or a water gun, if he can use it responsibly- and send him on his way. He was unintentionally amusing with one post, but any more would just get boring.

Lollipop. He's less likely to mess up the servers with that.

i'm Italian and Greek, and to the tard who asked if in french if canadian was quebecois... yeah, you're a retard.

Oh i mean your blood lineage not your resiedencey

By that definition, I would be...
American
Spanish (Yes, even though my last name is German...)(Soy Asuturiano)
Cuban (see comment on Spanish)
Norwegian or German
Native American.

But as for where I was born...my shirt says "Made with pride in the USA...":D

American, of Irish and Jewish/Bedouin ancestry.

Oh i mean your blood lineage not your resiedencey
wtf? So you don't actually mean nationality, you mean heritage?

I'm Canadian, but my heritage would put me at being from nearly everywhere in Europe.

I'm AustrALian

ok, you know what? i'm rephaising the lineage thing so we can knock away all this confusion and anarchy (dodges molitove cocktail)

I MEAN THE PLACE YOU WERE BORN IN....

ok? ok!

Er... Canuck.
Er....yeah?

What's the question EH??? :D

No, the forums are hosted by a British gaming company, the game and its creator are American.

Regardless, I'm an American with secondary Italian citizenship.

HUZZAH, FOR THE EMPAAAAAAHR!

(Note : I am British, if you couldn't tell)

My Nationality; Dutch and American(yes, I have 2 passports)

My Heritage; Dutch, American, French Canadian, Italian, German...etc etc
