    "The North" consists of Nordland, Troms and Finnmark.

    Thought so, you were referring to the 'tail' part of Norway.

    I already have read that! It is very good and handy.

    I like this one, ashame it doesn't include Jorvik and the North of England.

    Those were not the Regions I was looking for.

    Was think more of breaking it down by Duchy, which makes more sense, and doesn't leave an orphan "South Central" region.

    It's kinda depressing knowing that the scots want to go; they're the only member of this union that joined semi willingly.
    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    they wont vote for it, however it wont be decisive enough to make the issue go away





    Anyway if the sorta can join semi-willingly then the reverse has to be applicable

    Well there was rioting in Scotland and Scots beaten up in London. It's just the other way around these days.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Stay with UK, Cameron tells Scotland!

    Is that double speak?
