All in all, I believe, that it has some logic (historical) to put Slovakia in one cathegory with Czech Republic, Hungary and Austria - countries of Habsburg empire.
Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA -- looks alot like Sweden and Norway
(except the Swedish and Norwegian women are better lookin'...:2thumbsup:)
I come from Dungalloigh in the Aran islands. I live in a monastery. For reals.
I won't complain, but put Slovenia together with them next time. We only became part of the bloody balkans after a series of really bad mistakes and national hopes that lead us astray. We won't repeat the same mistake again.Quote:

I didn't vote in this poll, I'm Iranian, and what "baffles" me, in the humorous sense of the term, is the clustering of a huge, ethnically diverse area spanning significantly more ground than western Europe in its entirety (Dare I say the entire Europe?). It's not Teleklos' fault or anything, he really does try his best, but this simple obsevation does not deserve to be shrugged away as "nationalism". Iran alone spans more than three times the total area of Scandinavia, and it's not like it rivals Mongolia when it comes to official population figures either.Quote:

Looking at the numbers TPC, I think the only mistakes I made was not putting BRazil and S.A. in one category, all of Africa in one category, and maybe putting Georgia/et al. into the Central Asian category, that would free up three more and I could have divided one of the ones that has a ton in it - like Ireland Scotland England, or one of the scandinavian ones. I totally grouped countries by the representation I have seen on the EB boards and general proximity. It may seem unfair to have two whole continents (SA and Africa) get only two categories, but that is how it should have been done if you are really interested in seeing where the players come from and only get 30 options. Going by where I've seen folks' "location" lines from that's why I put Brazil in its own (because we've had a few members from there), and Armenia/Georgia in their own, because we have had fans and members from there, though none of them are showing up here. The wide distribution of 4/3/5/2/4 etc. shows I was pretty close on most of them to "levelling" it out.
I really did not expect any sort of real irritation at this given the statements I made in my initial post. It really is probably best if I close this I think. The basic information sought after is visible even at this point, and since I started it I suppose I'll now close this little experiment and save us the trouble of all getting further irritated.
