I've been curious about my ethnicities and know some, but really don't fully know all of them.

Mostly Scottish with major infusions of English, Irish, Norwegian, German and French.

I'm thinking of declaring war on myself.

I'm mainly British, but from one side the British turns to a couple centuries of German, and on the other, Irish...
And so it was, that I had never changed.

Northern Europe - mostly Scottish (although there's some - admittedly diluted - Irish and English in there somewhere).
Please note: Central Lothian is the direct successor to Mid Lothian*. As a result, I am still called Rebecca, I am still a Grammar Nazi and most information pertaining to ML also applies to CL (although I will be taking this time to change a few things).

* - And I may refer to the country as Mid Lothian. If I do, assume that I mean Central Lothian. (And not to be confused with "Midlothian" - I'm using that as a fascist version of CL.)

Well, I'm Italian/German, though I don't know what that would be on the poll. I can guess that Italian would be southern Europe, but I don't know where the German would be as Germany is kinda smack dab in the middle.

Germany is either considered the edge of Western Europe or part of Eastern Europe, though the second is kind of a dying idea.

I thought it was part of central Europe.

You don't really hear the term Central Europe a lot anymore around here, which is weird since it's in the World Factbook and the like. I'm assuming it's because of ideological reasons.

It's considered either Western or Central Europe, never Eastern Europe
