I'm curious as to just how many nations we have represented here at SP. While there is a "From" line at the bottom of each person's posts, many people put up fictional places (DR's 'land of milk and bunny' springs to mind - although I know he's an American) and some people just put up a city. If you aren't familiar with the geography of a particular area, you have no idea what country it is located in. For example, Splunge lists Manitoba. While most people would know that's in Canada, some may not. (Manitoba, that's at the North Pole, eh?)

So let's see how many countries we've got represented here.

I'll start: a dull beginning - the U.S. like dozens of others.

Sweden, like atleast half a dozen others.

Manitoba, that's at the North Pole, eh? Well, given that we just had over a foot of snow ( IN MAY! :flaming: ), I'm beginning to wonder.

I'd like to put down Scotland, but I'll probably have to settle for UK.

Scandinavian here, from the area of Finland, and coast-city of Vaasa. In case you do not know, Russia is just east of here. ;)

Prob. in future it will be "USE" :p

Poland. No, I'm not a Polish immigrant in the US, I live here in Poland.

USA

England.

I see we have masked the bi-annual 'So where do you come from?' thread in a layer of veneer and class, what have you.

Perhaps a more prominent SP-german (Ragusa) should pipe up in my stead. Anyhow, Germany. Location: The middle of 'old Europe'. :p

Even though Joc already posted on this thread, I shouldn't do it as well, but, since I feel so distant to him, I will anyway. I mean, if I can't touch someone within my arms reach, they are not close to me.

Sweden, BTW.

:spin: :roll: :spin: England :spin: :roll: :spin:

;)

I'm from little old Denmark, as a couple of ohters

Land of the Switzer.

I'll represent the lands down beneath, a.k.a. the netherlands or Holland

USA, like one or two... or three... or a lot of us here.

Holland: The land of clogs and weed :roll:

The city is called Brussels, which is the heart of Belgium, which is the heart of Europe.

Can someone take an online world map and color each country that's occupied by an SPer?

USA - yet another one.

@Oxymore - that's not a bad idea, actually...

I too inhabit that tiny piece of land we call England.

Slovenia, now coming in the EU flavour to your local ice cream stand.

Canada, where in Ontario we just had our first Smog Alert of the season. And it's only May. Ick.

Another Canuck here...

Isn't this country great? Snowing in Manitoba, smogging in Ontario...*sigh*

A proud and mighty Aussie here (now just remember to pronounce that with a 'z' sound not a flippin soft 's' sound you people! ;) )

New Zealand - Land of the Long White Cloud, home to Kiwis, Peter Jackson, Rotku, and, um, Deathmage.

Welcome to the west coast of Canada, where the weather is sunny, and we think the snow out east is funny. (Hey, I rhymed :roll: )

Prince George, BC, Canada. (http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?country=US&countryid=250&addtohistory=&searchtab=address&searchtype=address&address=&city=Prince+George&state=BC&zipcode=&search=++Search++)

Seriously, the best May weather we have had in years. I mean, I may change from pasty white to eggshell or something like that.

Zdravo Taluntain (the only thing I learnt from my Slovenian friends), welcome to the EU club.

Spanish by birth, I am settling in Ireland for good.

Australia here.

Chalk up another one for the Netherlands :grin:

Wow, we dutchies are better represented than I thought. I mean, MoN, Apeman, Morgoth, SleepleSS, Big Bald Ranger and of course, me. ;) (And those are just the ones that come to mind.) Not bad for the little country we are :)

Germany, obviously.

Another Dutchman here, not stoned though. :D

Wow, we dutchies are better represented than I thought. It's obvious we are well represented, so once again I remind you that you shouldn't think. When you think, you make noise, smell bad, your head hurts, you make my head hurt, and finally you come up with something utterly useless and not interesting. :shake: :p

It's Faragon-bashing week! ;)

Three Dutchies in a row :grin:

Chalk up another Swede.

Wow, Mesmero and Pac Man, totally forgot about you two... That makes 8 already. Together, we could seize control, and rule these boards as our personal playground! :grin: ;)

MoN: Faragon Bashing Week? Please. I've dealt with pawns bigger and badder than you. I remain unimpressed. But keep on practicing, statistically speaking, you'll get it right eventually. :happy:

Ok, that means that Joacqin, me, Xei Win Toh, and RooK the <something> are Swedish. Did I miss something?

England here

Even thought the US is already well represented, I really liked the map link that was given above. So here I am in Oak Forest, Illinois (http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?country=US&countryid=250&addtohistory=&searchtab=address&searchtype=address&address=&city=&state=&zipcode=60452&search=++Search++)

I retain things better if I can see them. :book:

@ BigStick

I bet Simpsons get to visit you every now and then, Springfield being practically your neighbour. :D

Rhythm is from Malaysia!

Yes, we live up coconut trees in huts made from a combination of strong wood and stone. Tsk tsk, I laugh at you poor Westerners... living in comfortable derelicts that shelter the body from sun and rain. Hahahaha!

But we have Wi-Fi!

Just kidding folks... 'bout the Wi-Fi. ;)

Yeah.. another one from Denmark :)

@ Wirhe - Actually, there are towns named Springfield in many of the states in the US. I don't know that the Simpson's Springfield is in Illinois. However, if you ever watched Roseanne, they are located in Lansing, IL, IIRC, where I have relatives living now. :)

Belgium. Not a bad country to live in really. Don't you folks believe what you hear on the news. :p

Eng-er-land :rolleyes: Like the other dozen plus people with english accents.

Yep, i'm from the land of "stiff upper lips" also...that's England. Although we don't all have stiff upper lips, not at all :nono: Despite the way Hollywood might depict us!

New Zealand - Land of the Long White Cloud, home to Kiwis, Peter Jackson, Rotku, and, um, Deathmage.That sums it up nicely.

I'm another Canadian.

One more from Finland here.

I'm from Canada, eh?

laval which is in Quebec which is in Canada

didn't that we had so many Candian in Here!

Splunge, Laiwethel, Faerus Stoneslammer, Jaguar, Benanthalin, reepnorp, Djieff JSSB did I miss somebody? Well that's make us 9 (with me) so we're more than you Holland

Other Canadians that I can think of:

Mystra's Chosen and Sprite (although she hasn't posted much lately). There's one from Sydney (can't recall who though), and I'm pretty sure there's another from B.C. besides Jag. And I just know I'm missing at least one more, but I'm drawing a blank.

Hmm, I wonder which countries have the most SP members. U.S. would be first I'm sure, but second? Maybe Canada. :)

Edit: add Dragonfly to the list.

No, Splunge. Definitely Finland comes second after the US. :shake: :thumb:

There's also a healthy supply of Dutch folks.

Well, don't I feel stupid - I'll just add Beren to the Canadian list. :o

You know what? Ara, Harkle and Foradasthar don't post much anymore, so you Canadians probably offer more presence than the Fins now, actually.

England :toofar:

One more Canadian here, and a French one to boot.

Canadians are more present, the finns are a greater force.

Finland here.

Slovenia

Only #2 in this thread after Tal, but there used to be quite some of us here.
Keneth of the Darkforest (later renamed to Ryn, spammer :p )
Lynx Lupo (newer one, havent seen him in a while)
Fallen paladin (still around)
kukec (seen very briefly)

There were more of us, to be sure, but most are gone now :(
One really strange thing though... I always play druids, Lynx lupo prefers druids and Keneth has "forest" in his name :grin:
Tal, it's your turn to turn into a greeny, tree-hugging bear man :thumb:

Sweden here too...

Well, just to try to catch up with the Dutch, here is another Belgian :D (from Brussels like Oxymore). Now, since we mentioned him, his location line describes it best (though he just stole that line :p ):

Ce plat pays qui est le mien *starts looking around* I'm sure there is another of our rare kind present somewhere. Hmm, where is he?

Well i must be the first one of the Greeks who post here. And i don't have the spare time these last months to post here.
Sunny noisy but always friendly Greece for me.

Nope, Mithrandir you're not :p

There was this chap here befora ya, by the name of Sirdan (http://www.sorcerers.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile;u=00003058). Unfortunately there was something nasty going on in RL. I dont remember what it was, but he was forced to quit :(

Isn't BOC Greek as well?

Belgium represents!

We are 4 in number I think. Pretty cool for such a small country. Hi guys!

@Rhythm: Hi! there you are neighbour across the straits of Johor!

I am from Singapore... home of the red wizards of Thay.

.... and a sunny island too...

I'm from Northern Ireland, which means I have both British and Irish Nationalities. Does that mean I get counted twice?

Finland!

As you might have guessed... South Korea. The first and probably last .But my childhood was spent in Boston(which is why I can write and read posts at all), so maybe I'm....

Oh my god!!!
i see another malaysian here,
i see another malaysian here!!!

(you can tell i am from malaysia too)

The Netherlands! And proud of it although our goverment sucks...

A jolly proud Englishman through and through.

Wotto old chaps!
