I had the idea. Purr and

what part of the world are you from?
^. .^
= ' =

Humh... A flat sorta place. Snow sometimes, but not as much as when I was a kid, which in turn was not as much as when my folks were kids. Our biggest mountain is 78 metres above sealevel, but we still call it a mountain. We have a lot of shore and a thacky language that isn't easy for foreigners - which is why we are very good at foreign languages. We're famous for our red (really very red) sausages, our beer and our national football (soccer) team. Bill Clinton visited a few years back and french synthesizer-king Jean-Michel Jarré is speculated to perform here next year because of our windmill-parks.

Try figure out! (I will tell you if you're right or not.)

erm...holland?
^. .^
= ' =

Nope, but very close. And two of the same three colours in our flag. I won't tell which ones, but it is not the blue one. Also a constitutional monarchy and in fact the worlds oldest at that as our sovereign can trace ancestors back to 870 AC! (Impressive, yes?) Me? Perhaps one century if I work on it...
Oh, and we have just held elections.

Try again. - KC

ooh..this is difficult for me, i'm not great on geography..
is it a big country?
and also, i'm guessing by AC you mean BC (before christ)? it could be AD or BC... but it's a long time ago, whatever.
erm..i'll wait for your answer about the size of the country...
^. .^
= ' =

I meant After Christ or, as you put it, Anno Domini. It's only been 1200 years since the first royal lineage.

The size of my country? Approximately 43,070 sq km or slightly more than twice the size of the American state of Massachusetts. We have, as I said, a lot of coast. 3,379 km to be precise and that's a lot for a 43,070 sq km land...

To be truthful, we really are bigger than just 43,070 sq km, as our kingdom actually includes some islands in the northern Atlantic. Including those, we take up 2,219,469 sq km, most of which is covered in ice.

Oh, and we invaded and conquered Great Britain many years ago. And Norway. And Sweden. And parts of Normandy, Holland, Belgium and a variety of other coastal regions. But thats many many years ago.

Now methinks you should be able to guess!

-KC

Finland?
*looks hopeful*
^. .^
= ' =

Holland was closer.

Look now: Our flag is red and white, our Queen is named Margrethe II, our (new) prime minister is named Anders Fogh Rasmussen and our football (soccer) team won the European Championship in 1992.
H.C.Andersen is from our nation, as are Peter Hoegh, Brian Laudrup and Niels Bohr.
C'mon, now it should be easy.

~Smiles enthusingly at Clelba, hoping later on to discover Clelbas origin. Believes it to be British due to language, but not sure.~
