Are you saying Scotland is being occupied by the Brits? Because with May and her hostility to Scottish Nationalism in charge, that's not a complete lie...

Well, seeing as that indyref was organized under a much more sensible Government than this one (rather shot than poisoned) and the Scottish Government (duly elected by the Scottish people) is trying to get another one, the existence of a referendum three years ago doesn't change this scenario all that much.

One of the reasons why I even thought up of this poll in the first place was because I thought the NS community was more diverse.

The previous poll I did, one Muslim player was distressed that I did not include a Muslim candidate in that poll. I don't usually care about people's backgrounds, religion, race etc. when doing this sort of things, but it did make me wonder how diverse this site actually was.

Turns out two-thirds of us are from North America (most of whom, judging by the comments, are from the United States). Not as spread out as I thought!

Meanwhile, there's only one other person other than me from Oceania! I am so disappointed in my region!

I was joking, please don't report me to the Ministry of Truth!

I'm honestly surprised by how few Aussies and Kiwis there are. I certainly had the impression that they, at the very least, would be larger than the South Americans and Eastern Europeans.

A nation founded in the early 1800s by Federalist immigrants from the United States. Has since developed an identity of its own and imperial ambitions. Now a neoliberal imperial power that justifies its aggression by putting it the name of tolerance and social justice.
