I put myself in Northern Europe, because the Dutch mentality and laws and tax system is more similar to for example Sweden than France. That's why I opted for Northern Europe.

Yes, I agree. I think there's only, Nothern, Eastern and Southern cultural Europes. Western Europe is just a geographical entity inherited from the Cold War era.

For the record:

Australasia = Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and essentially the islands that make up the eastern part of Indonesia.

I voted Australasia as I was born in OZ and lived most of my life in Melbourne other than a few stints in Switzerland....

I was expecting a somewhat better response to this. You all fail me time and time again.

I think he wanted to beat the US in numbers... I think he's disappointed that there are so many Americans on here and the Brits are being quiet. Of course thats all speculation.

I suspect, more people . After all, less than 25 answers out of 3,000 members is a little underwhelming. Pity, as I would have been interested too- perhaps some more answers will turn up over the weekend.

Looks like my vote of the UK has helped to push us further ahead of the Americans/Canadians/Mexicans.

I'm just wondering why the UK gets an option to itself, surely the UK would come under Western Europe?

Not that I'm complaining, makes a change the UK coming in first for once.

Lacedaemonian · 9th December 2005, 07:28 PM

I considered this issue but as it is a UK site, I felt it was justified.

I was hoping for more people to vote, otherwise there is little point in doing this.

I think you should mention this forum in other threads. Might help out.
