For now, I'll just end this post by going back to the USA, which after consultation of a Florida map appears to be clearly male. But then again, cosmetic surgery has come a long way in the last decades. Well, I guess Uncle Sam will remain our weird uncle for a while longer. |

but i agree the US is a weird uncle.

The old lady sits on the pig, also facing west - very wrinkled face , with a hat on top.
Obvious, I thought!
