There's sort of two answers to this question depending on how you interpret it. I'm originally from the UK but I live in New Zealand.

where i was born and live and will probably die is the u.s.

but i think of "from" as having a slightly different meaning, (one which encompasses previous lives), to which i answer: a small green planet in a distant galaxy.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

"economic freedom" is "the cake"

I come from Saudi Arabia, and the weather there is as hot as hell in summer, cold as hell in winter, spring along with autumn basically doesn't exist here. Otherwise, everything here is good from the locals to the food.

I have this feeling that you intentionally insert "EU" in that.

But yeah, the poll is too Anglo-centric.

I am from Utica Michigan, a town 12 miles north of Detroit. Summers here are usually pleasant around may and June with highs in the 70s before the temperature skyrockets to levels in July that make it almost impossible for life to exist, and then it cools back down to the 70s in September before fall arrives briefly in October with beautiful leaf colors and Apple cider sold in every store. The brief autumn ends in early November when temperatures plummet to like 30 degrees and by January it has gotten so cold that you can walk on Lake St Clair. It doesn't warm back up till April and that's our brief month long spring with rain and moderate temps.

This year has been a little weird though, with the bitter cold just arriving this week. It was in the 50s when the year started.

Will I live here all my life? Probably not. Once I can, I really wanna move out to somewhere in northern California since the weather is nicer and roads aren't as bad.

I feel like saying you're from Michigan either comes across as really cool or really lame asf

NRW, Germany. Lived here most of my life, save for some time in Lower Saxony (Germany, too).

Or, according to the poll, 'Other' - which would cover Continental Europe, as well as all of Central and South America, Africa, Asia, and parts of Oceania ... I'd reevaluate the choice of options, if I were OP. ^^

Since Lillorainen's geography is currently being overhauled a 'tiny' bit, most information on it posted before December 12, 2018, is not entirely reliable anymore. Until there's a new, proper factfile, everything you might need to know can be found here. Thank you. #RetconOfDoom (Very late update, 2020/08/30 - it's still going on ...)
