October 8, 201213 yr In my book, it's been part of eastern Scandinavia for almost a millennium, but there are lots of misinformed people out there who think otherwise. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
October 20, 201213 yr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavia "Sometimes the term Scandinavia is also taken to include Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Finland, on account of their historical association with the Scandinavian countries.[2] Such usage, however, may be considered inaccurate in the area itself, where the term Nordic countries instead refers to this broader group.[3]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_countries "Maybe your grandiose vocabulary is a pathetic compensation for an insufficiency in the nether regions of your anatomy."

October 20, 201213 yr Puerto Rico and the rest of the Caribbean islands are usually considered to be part of North America, even if they are not technically on the continental plate. The biggest "dividing line" conflict actually seems to be over Panama and whether the portion of the isthmus south of the canal (bordering Columbia) is part of North or South America (though geologically it would be somewhere in the middle of the swamps of the Darien Gap, neither at the Columbian border nor at the canal itself) Edited October 20, 201213 yr by RaccoonTOF "If we are alone in the universe, it sure seems like an awful waste of space"
