What Continent Are You On?

[Fred Derf Veteran]

The top two vote getters last year were North America and Europe so I have taken the step of breaking them down into smaller geographical areas. If you don't live in either place then vote "n/a" to skip the question.

Here's the 2006 poll:

Seems like Europe is taking an early lead so far. That seems surprising to me. I would have guessed more people from the good old USA.

Where is Europe?

good question..

And done even think about saying UK.

[Malisk]

Go go, Scandinavians! :)

Btw, this is the first time I've heard the term "eurozone" in my life. :blink:

Funny, but I see it's fairly well used, so it must be that it's just not used in my language.

Edit: Aah, it's the collection of European countries using the Euro currency... Now I get it... :p

Somebody voted for Europe but then voted n/a for where inside Europe. Did I miss something? :s

Ireland would count as Eurozone as it has adopted the Euro currency.
