England! Great Britain!! United Kingdom!!!

[Shauna]

I hate foriegners who think that Great Britain and United Kingdom mean England.

Yea, I hate that. England isn't the only country in the UK!

Nippon? What happened to Nihon? I agree though. Most foreing languages... when they say America in their tongue, it at least sounds like America. Amerikana and such. Germany sounds nothing like Deuchtland or whatever. Who the heck decided to name them differently anyway?

[Croyles]

Its Nippon its just that the p is very soft.

[crono_logical]

Actually, it's both, with Nihon being the more common of the two

Because we feared stupid Americans would forget the one name, like what you do with the rest of the planet. So for ease of use, we made up three. (SPOILER)We're clever like that, we actually have the brains to use other letters except "U" & "S"
Unless you need their help or bombing all hell out of it.

"Georgia? That aint a country!"

*laughs*

[Shlup]

Wow. At least I was joking.

The original Roman name for the area was Germania, of which German was basically another word for barbarian. Although I'm not sure if the barbarians called it Deutchland back then or not.

I think so was I. *checks*

Oh yeah, I was.

List Of Countries I Love

[Shlup]

Good. I hate it when people discriminate against people based on their home country, or beliefs. Lets stick to more concrete things, like the color of people's skin and fatties.

Good One

I think most of us in the UK bash the rest of the world just cause we're like that, we seperate ourselves from the rest of the world because we can. We've come up with stereotypes for everyone, and most of the countriesn we've either
a) Shot all the native countrymen when we had all the guns
b) Shot all the native countrymen when we had the big guns
Sadly, I think all countries (except Canada and New Zealand- those people are just lovely) have this attitide now.
