hmm, I'm wondering why I don't see any Asia country apart from India :-? you should consider adding another choice: Asia perhaps. (as if India makes up the whole Asia continent!)

(sigh) anyway, I'm from a small country called Vietnam.
Unfortunately, I was unable to add every country I wanted, there was just so many slots I could fill,
perhaps I could have done a better job in selecting, but I tried to stay with those that I knew we had members from.

And yes, I am well aware of your country.

I think it's best if there's United Kingdom [of Great Britain and Northern Ireland] which includes of course England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales that now appear separately.

Uh......I tried that last time and got bit in the bu....arse. There were some that were NOT pleased to be lumped in together.


In the end, it makes no difference to me how UK or any other country is presented here. I am still impressed there is Croatia.


Yes, well.

...If one starts to differentiate within UK and specify for example Wales or England, one could do the same with other countries, like Spain and it's autonomous communities and make a difference between Catalonia, Andalusia and Basque -- they even have different languages! ...
Occitan is still spoken, here where I live, so I'd want that included, too.

I'd love to learn Occitan. I did a couple of semesters of Catalan and I loved it. I always said that I'd try to pick up something to read in Occitan when I get the time.

Excellent! Quick, let's form an independent republic. We'll have more votes than India, Japan, Sweden, Estonia or Wales, so desertgrandma won't be able to turn us down.

No problem. Occitania is already spread out. It just needs to be extended eastwards a tad.

Yep. I'm the one that insisted that Croatia be on the list. I would have voted for Canada otherwise (I'm from Canada, but I have been living in Croatia for the past 7 years.)

Extend southwards and Ivy could join, then we'd have as many votes as Finland or Switzerland and we'd have more votes than 16 other "countries".

No, no, no, I voted Croatia too. Did I not reply to your last PM or did you not see it?
