Nationality?

[aneeshm]

I am an Indian , by residence , nationality , and blood . More specifically , I can trace my ancestry to the sage Jamadagni from my father's side , and the sage Atri from my mother's .

If I had to move , I would move to the USA .

That would be Western Prussia, and yes it still exist's as an area (Part of Poland since 1919), but not as an independent nation (Turned to Germany in 1871).

That's what I meant, I know it still exists, its Polish now. I believe it to be a part of Germany still (even though it isn't), worthless Treaty of Versailles. And I didn't mean as an independent nation.

Six years ago.

I consider myself an Earthian. I would be happy to move anywhere I could get a high-paying job.

I'm a Portuguese citizen as well as an EU citizen.

My parents were both born in Africa (during the colonial war in Angola, my grandparents were living there when it started) but my grandparents and their parents and so forth were, AFAIK, all born in nowadays Portugal (in continental Europe and also in the Azores).

 

[wcbarney]

I am an American, a resident of the United States. My ancestors were all English.

 

[W|M]

I am Brazilian, as is my family. My known ancestors have been Italian, Portuguese, French, Austrian and Native American.

I'm culturally more stereotypically German than many "national" Germans (I'm reserved and like to complain a lot) but my parents come from Yugoslavia and my surname suggests that some of my (serbian) ancestors were nobles befoe the turkish conquest.
If we're talking about things like "nationalism, or sense of belonging or whatnot Germany takes fourth place behing Cologne, the Rhineland and Europe in general.
Bavarians are just as alien to me as Spaniards and Americans are almost as alien as Chinese.

 

[Quackers]

Americans are almost as alien to the Chinese to you? How do you explain that?

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM !!!

I don't get it.

 

[CELTICEMPIRE]

I was born in the US, but I lived in Cardiff for a while and would gladly live there if it wasn't for the lower standard of living, and high gas prices.

Spoiler details :

Russian by birth. Mom's side is Russian and Tatar. Dad's side is German, Polish, and a little bit of Russian and Ashkenazi. Living in America.

Russian-American.

 

[anandus]

I'm Dutch, ethnically I'm one-quarter Frisian, one-quarter Dutch-Fleming and two-quarters Hollander.
I think I feel Dutch, although the last ten years the country and I have grown apart a lot.
The focus of politics and media is very much on useless introspection and egocentricism instead of looking towards the future and towards the world. I'm too much a cosmopolite, European and globalist for that.

But if I had to live somewhere else it'd probably be the UK. Been there many times and I really like it. Good traditions too.

Although I drink coffee, they drink tea, my dear.

I also like Germany a lot, and really, really like the German people and their mentality (the Germans are the hippies of Europe), but I have a hard time liking the language.

 

[jtb1127]

I am American. I consider the US my homeland. I am of English, Scottish, Irish, Hungarian, Russian, Danish and Czech decent. If I had to go to another country I would go to the UK. Besides the US I most identify myself with the British.

 

[emzie]

Born in the US to a British-born mother. Hold passports from both countries. Live in Canada.

Going back, my granny was born in Kenya but her parents were from Shropshire. Granddad was born in Kent, his father's family was from the area though his mother's family was from Cornwall, where the family brewery still operates.

Dad's side is pretty much European mutt. Grandma's family moved to Ohio after the revolutionary war and were farmers. Grandpa's dad was born in Switzerland to, it seems, French-Swiss parents though his surname (and mine) is Swiss-German. He ended up dying of alcoholism, literally in a gutter. Don't know much about him or his history.

As to my nationality, that would be hard to define. I guess I consider myself American, but my home is here.

 

[Save_Ferris]

I live in the US. As far as I can tell, my ancestors had for around 150 years. As for my ancestry? Mainly German, with a bit of Scottish, English, Irish, and Cherokee.

 

[Ajidica]

American with Polish/German/Slovenian/Irish ancestors.

More specificaly, I'm Minnesotan and proud of it!

 

[Colonel]

I'm an American and there is no where else I would want to live ever. Even if the US was decimated by say nuclear war or other such calamity I would remain here and rebuild or die.
