    There have been a lot of posts about geopolitics lately. Or, there always have been - I haven't kept as close tabs on this forum as the Arcanum forums.

    With that in mind, where is everyone from? I believe we have at least a couple of Swedes here. Personally, I'm from the United States - I was born and raised in New Hampshire. It is good to know that Arcanum has an international following, considering that it was only released in a few languages. Then again, other countries besides mine tend to actually educate people in other languages...

    So, how about it? What country are you from, and where do you live now?

    Born in the US and still live here. I sometimes wonder if I'd be better off somewhere else, but then quickly realize that all nations have problems and dreaming doesn't get me anywhere.

    Born in Dublin City, Ireland and still living here. Most stereotypes are not accurate, but the drunken Irishman isn't most stereotypes!

    I was born in Chillicothe, Ohio, USA but I'm currently living in Grants Pass, Oregon.
    Same terrain - milder winters.

    Born in Budapest, Hungary, still living here, but once I graduate, I'll take the first opportunity to ditch this quasi-socialist shithole.

    I'm currently in the deep south of the United States. Heat, humidity, bugs and Cajun people. It's pretty wild.

    Wow, Rroyo, you live pretty close to me (relative to everyone else, that is). Born, Port Angeles, Washington. Living in North Bend, Washington. Liberals, summer rain storms, Vegans, and Mexicans in every restaurant. It's pretty tame. ;)

    You forgot Teriyaki chicken.

    I've got a question for you. Sequim: is it (skwim) or (seck-wee-uhm)?

    I love it and you forgot to mention it. Maybe if you leave Washington someday, you'll learn to truly appreciate it. You don't find that calibre of teriyaki just anywhere.

    You may also learn the concept of 'humidity without precipitation.'
