    Well....

    First point would be - are you really saying that Queensland isn't a land of its own?
    :eek::p


    Second point would be - that in the former New Guinea and Indonesia(parts of) would be included, which wouldn't be in the latter.
    :D
    So when talking of Australia then it would be better with Australia than Australia although Australia certainly qualifies when given the context of Australia. Hence why one might want to add that "Commonwealth of" prefix.

    Australia here, although it does feel like I spend more time in Novia these days.

    Agree. Added.

    I had the same thoughts to be honest but I wasn't sure where to draw the line. The idea is also to get a picture of the languages represented by the (active) members here. Of course I didn't want to exclude any country but I also want to avoid having 50+ countries listed with 1 click each. Alternative ideas welcome :)

    Apart from the three I listed in that post?
    Hmm.

    The easiest would be to ask @Rok Yrikk to provide you the list of xenforo ip logs, and get the ISP countries from there.

    But if you do want it to be manual and don't want a full country list then I'd use an existing region list instead.like the UN geo or something similar. That way one can divert complaints to the list originator instead.

    Came here to say that!

    Got to keep a safe distance away from the Travis County containment zone, ya know. 500 feet into the next county just didn't work out for me, I guess.

    @Cerus

    It is wrong to call Finland a Scandinavian country.
    Finnish is not a Scandinavian language and Finns are ethnically distinct from Scandinavians.
    Finland is not a Scandinavian country.
    Please replace "Scandinavia" with "The Nordic Countries" or add "Finland" as a separate country from "Scandinavia".

    From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland:
    "Finland is a Nordic country"

    From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_countries:
    "The Nordic countries ... They consist of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, including Greenland and Faroe Islands—which are both constituent countries within the Kingdom of Denmark—and the Åland Islands"

    From wikipedia:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_countries#/media/File:Nordic_countries_orthographic.svg
    vs.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavia#/media/File:Scandinavia.svg

    From https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Scandinavia:
    Definition of Scandinavia
    1 peninsula in northern Europe occupied by Norway and Sweden
    2 Denmark, Norway, and Sweden

    From https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Scandinavian:
    Definition of Scandinavian for English Language Learners

    • : a person born, raised, or living in the countries of Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, and Denmark)
    From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavia:
    "The term Scandinavia in local usage covers the three kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden"

    "The Danish, Norwegian and Swedish languages form a dialect continuum and are known as the Scandinavian languages"
    "Finnish ... entirely unrelated to the Scandinavian languages."
