Nationality?

I was shocked when I first loaded this thread and seen AoA! :D

Then I noticed the date, and realised someone had been naughty and raised this old thread...Bad dog!

Nationality?

I am Scotsman first, and Britisher second and a European third.
I am also descended from Spaniards, Celts and Iberians.

:)
 
I am Canadian, French, Italian and Yugoslavian roots. If I was forced to leave Canada I'd move to Italy.
 
Østerbroer, Københavner, Dane, Scandinav, Europe.
 
ummmm........ said:
I'm an American, and I'd want to move to the country most like my own, whichever that would be. Probably Australia?
Wouldn't the country "most like your own" be Canada? Australia is closer to Brittan then America, IMHO.
 
Born in Brussels, Belgium. Raised in Paris, France. My family has its origins a bit everywhere from Morocco to Germany. My brother lives in Australia and will have a kid there. My sister lives in London with a Canadian and has a kid there, they'll move to Canada sooner or later.

I'm Parisian, European, and also French.
 
Born and raised in Rumilly, Haute-Savoie, France, European Union, Earth
Live in Mazamet, Tarn, France, European Union, Earth.
And in two months, I'll live in Pont de l'Arn, Tarn.
My new house is almost finished :goodjob:
 
I'm English and never refer to myself as British. Just because the nations (easy Stormblind) that make up the United Kingdom are very diverse with their own history and Culture.

I do however have Scotish blood lines but this is more about family history than which nationality I consider myself to be.

I'm also a Lancastrian which makes me genetically superior to all things from Yorkshire. ;)

You countrysider.
At least I know what a cow is, not like you citysmen (and cityswomen)


And I forgot my origin. From my father's side, it's Savoy for a very long time.
From my mother's side, well my grand mother was born in Constantinople from a Russian mother and a Romanian father
 
I'm walloon. My familly tree begins in 1525 and quite all my ancestors lived in a small area of Wallonia ( Nivelles-Charleroi-Namur-Gembloux ) where I still live.

I have a strong walloon identity but I also feel french and european.

"Belgian" means nothing to me. It's just a word on my ID card.

Same as me! I have rellies living in new castle.... I dont suppose your anyone I know.

If I had to move... probobly New Zealand scince they are a vasal state anyway, or England


Well If you've been to any Morrison get-togethers between 1995 and 2005 then you will probably know me.

If I had to move (my girlfriend as well), It'd probably be back to bathurst.
 
I'm American. My adoptive parents were second-generation Scot and Irish respectively, so that's what I claim for ethnicity (no knowledge of my genetic parents).

That I know of, there aren't any English-speaking countries as libertarian-leaning as the part of the US that I live in, so I'd be loathe to move, but my top choices would probably be Ireland, (western) Canada, Australia, or maybe a small island country in the south Pacific.
 
I'm Irish-Scottish-Acadian. Can't think of anything more (white) canuck than that, so I'll appologize to our first nations and dub myself 'Canadian'.
 
My ancestry is mostly Eastern European Jewish, although at least a quarter is Western European Jewish (the Van Der Walde family of Emden, Germany, the name suggesting Dutch origins.) In the two generations previous to mine, the family has been American, German, and Jerusalemite - my mother's parents were both born in the USA (of Eastern European Jewish descent); my father's mother was born in Emden, and his father in Jerusalem (third generation here, Russian family I think.) Both of my parents have lived in Jerusalem for most of their lives, although my mother is decidely American and still thinks of moving back to the US every now and then.
My own identity is generally Earthling/Terran/Citizen-of-the-World (almost literally, as I have an EU citizenship along with my Israeli and American ones.) I feel more American than any other one nationality, but in a very weird way since I've never lived in the States. In Israel I'm considered very American and mildly German (working on increaing that factor), in America I'm very Israeli, and in Germany I'm very American and noticably Israeli.
If I had to choose where to move right now, it would be Germany. I intend to go to university there and then decide where next. I highly doubt I'll ever choose to come back to live in Israel. It will likely be either Germany or the US or remotely possibly Scandinavia.

Der Vaderland
I do believe that's "Das Vaterland". ;)
 
I'd drop all nationality if I could and accept Internet citizienship.
Until that day, American/South African/Norwegian.
