Just out of personal cursiocity
I gues I've got the most importent countrys. Atleast the ones I could think of.
And that fitted into the poll, it wouldn't allow any more countrys then 20.
Please post your country in the topic if you don't live in any of these countrys.
I live in the Netherlands if you wondered.
Edit: made russia from rusia, changed other in USA. Becouse they came from it. And switserland was removed for other countrys.
Sorry, switserland.

I really thought I already put the US into the poll.
Ok, I changed the other into USA. I hope those two are you and Eric. Otherwise the whole poll is wrong.
Nice through, if everybody has voted I can let everybody think most came from a country like Burkina Faso.

I'm from the fantasy world of Tamriel. Can't walk more than a few hundred meters before a bandit or wolf slams into my back.

I knew I was missing an important country.

Seattle's actually it's own country. We export coffee and hydro power and airplanes. We used to export (good) software but not anymore. Our only significant import is tanning booths. Alaska used to be a province of Seattle, but it was taken over by moose-hunting, over-populating, beauty queen creationists from Idaho and we were forced to sell it to the Republicans.

Microsoft used to make good software?

You forgot South Africa, and no, it is not in Mexico.

A yes, south africa. As far I know. You're not the only one that is from that country.
South-africa is one of those country that you can't make (some) americans believe it is in mexico(I think). That ''africa'' ruins it a bit. Of most other countrys you can through.
(americans don't feel insulted, the rest of the world you can let believe Idaho lies in asia or something. )

Oh, I missed another english speaking country.
There where only 20 spots.
I scrapped indonesia and putted in UK. Is it fine now.

In that case I wish to withdraw my vote for 'Other country' and vote for the UK instead
Although oddly for an Englishman I don’t mind being labelled as European, I think we should have a closer Europe to more effectively compete on the world stage. I don’t know whether I like the idea of a 'United States of Europe' anytime soon, but any objections I may have would not be based on English nationalism or xenophobia. The England I like is the romantic 19th century version not what we currently have; I say we should adopt the euro as a currency, and I would much prefer the prelude to the ‘Ode to Joy’ as a national anthem rather than ‘God save the Queen’, especially given that I am an anti-royal atheist.

I tried to change something on the poll. You can try to vote correct altrough I'm not sure it will work. I hope it does.
Anyway, the EU is not the ideal in my opinion. I don't really like the economic tie beith southern and eastern countrys. Short the biggest part of the EU. A country doing wrong is costing another country money on the long term.
If you take unemployment, there is currently a decent unemployment-percentage in the Netherlands(2,6%). But those figures are partly destroyed becouse France and Spain are having between 8% and 11%.
And with the national anthem. I suppose you mean ''Ode an die Freude'' the european anthem. I don't like the idea of a european super-state too. And something like changing the national anthem for the european would be a first step to it. I won't think every european would ammuse the ringeless(ß) in the anthem a letter where some don't even know what it means.
Our national anthem remeans from the war of indepence with spain. Altrough there is some old dutch I like the idea that it is something written at the start of the country. It is the oldest anthem in the world too, yea.
And don't start with your royal house. Our one seems to cost four times more.

I don't think Europe will ever be as federal as the United States. It's more like the American Confederacy during the civil war: a loose conglomeration of political entities which fiercely believe in self determination.
