You didn't list Americans... Just plan old USofA. I feel offended.

I believe that Australia is part of Australasia. Anyway, if it isn't, my university geography professor lied to me.

So's North America (or Australia for that matter), but they're likely to be classed as one lump for some time. Patience, now they've learnt how to segregate us I'm sure they can do it finer, splitting of us southerners from the scandinavians and such, and you synthetic state in the middle- and the yanks from the rebels.

Re: Where in the world are you from?

The poll only covers 10 options. I think I did well.

You have done a great job, considering all of the options...

It will be great to see the final results.

And me? Switzerland? Clowns to the east of me, jokers to the south of me, and here I am- stuck in the middle- East is ex USSR, South's mediterranian, not North?
So I chose West.

I would have picked west for Switzerland as well. It's dodgy to make up the borders, where does West Europe ends and Northern Europe starts?

For me Northern Europe is a synonym of Scandinavian Europe and so starts with Denmark. Eastern Europe is Slavic states of Europe except perhaps former Yougoslavian states which are Mediterranean countries. Southern Europe are Mediterranean Europe plus Portugal. And Western Europe is what remains. Therefore I think Austria and Netherland are in Western Europe.
