what country are you?
Dunno if this has been posted here before, but...

Blue Pyramid has a neato-torpedo quizzy that tells you what
country you are. You can be Fiji, Texas, The UN, The US, The
USSR, or any of 64 other countries.

http://www.bluepyramid.org/ia/cquiz.htm

Je suis la France, or if I skiied more, je suis Canada!

1. Me is bee-yoooo-teeful Ireland!



You're Ireland!

Mystical and rain-soaked, you remain mysterious to many people, and this
makes you intriguing.  You also like a good night at the pub, though many are just as
worried that you will blow up the pub as drink your beverage of choice.  You're good
with words, remarkably lucky, and know and enjoy at least fifteen ways of eating a potato.
 You really don't like snakes.

the Blue Pyramid

9. Yeah, UN here too
You're the United Nations!
Most people think you're ineffective, but you are trying to completely save the world from itself, so there's always going to be a long way to go. You're always the one trying to get friends to talk to each other, enemies to talk to each other, anyone who can to just talk instead of beating each other about the head and torso. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, and you get very schizophrenic as a result. But your heart is in the right place, and sometimes also in New York.

3. France-very appropos
You're France!
Most people think you're snobby, but it's really just that you're better than everyone else. At least you're more loyal to the real language, the fine arts, and the fine wines than anyone else. You aren't worth beans in a fight, unless you're really short, but you're so good at other things that it usually doesn't matter. Some of your finest works were intended to be short-term projects.

6. MMMMMEXICO!!!
While some people think you're poor and maybe a little corrupt, you know where it's at, enjoying good food and nice beaches. You like to take things a little slower than those around you, and you really wish the air were cleaner, but sometimes compromises must be made. For some reason, Chevrolet keeps trying to sell you Novas as well, even though they don't really go.

funn how we vacation there every year :D

7. BRAZIL !
You're Brazil!
You're athletic, charming, and probably a good dancer. Unfortunatley, you don't really mind chopping down the rain forest, and you probably consider homeless people expendable in certain circumstances. Of course, your personality is so diverse that it's hard to track down exactly what you're like.

8. Call the Flying Doctor, I'm Australia!!
You're Australia!
You're easy-going, relaxed, and yet somewhat tough and hardy all at the same time. You can appreciate culture, scuba diving, and even safaris. This makes you pretty interesting and intriguing to others, though also really unpredictable and even wild. Your knowledge of nature is unthinkable to most of those around you, even though your respect for it is sometimes less than perfect. People really like your accent.

Yep, that's pretty much correct. Not going to get a whole lot of argument from me.

15. Chile



You're Chile!
You're really skinny, and kind of bumpy in frame, but you're not as rough a person as you used to be. You like long, long, long walks on the beach and avoiding having your rights violated, just like anybody else does. You're even willing to stand up to those with more power and influence than you, trying to bring them to justice. Fight the man!

16. Oh no! Jeebus! LOL...I'm TEXAS!


You're Texas!
You aren't really much of your own person, but everyone around you wishes you'd go away, so you might as well be independent. You're sort of loud-mouthed and abrasive, but you do have a fair amount of power. You like big trucks, big cattle, and big oil rigs. And sometimes you really smell. But it's not all bad, you're big enough to have some soft spots somewhere in all that redneck madness.


Don't know HOW I did that!
Good quality of life, I like it mild and tropical, I love spicy food, I'm very disciplined, I work hard and play hard, and I hate soccer. How does that WONDERFUL set of personality traits make me TEXAS? Is the Bush pResidency ALL MY FAULT?!?! But there isn't a reich-wing bone in my whole body! O8)

21. Thailand here...
...You're Thailand!

Calmer and more staunchly independent than almost all those around you, you have a long history of rising above adversity. Recent adversity has led to questions about your sexual promiscuity and the threat of disease, but you still manage to attract a number of tourists and admirers. And despite any setbacks, you can really cook a good meal whenever it's called for. Good enough to make people cry.

Life's been really rough, but it's slowly improving. You know way too much about the skeletal structure of humans, mostly from being forced to study it. This has given you a fear of many things, most especially the color red. The future has to be more promising though, and your greatest adversary can now never come back to hurt you any more.

41. the fun part...
is to try different pathways you wouldn't choose first to see where
they land you...then chuckle at how big a difference one question
makes.

Me, I've skiied about 10 times in my life, so do I 'ski'? I wouldn't
say so, so I end up France. If I 'do' ski, I'm Canada.

Likewise, if my dirty blonde hair (toe headed as a child) isn't
'blonde', I'm France, but if I go with it being blonde, I ended
up Germany....

Edited on Tue Aug-26-03 09:49 PM by catzies



You're Taiwan!
Despite enormous setbacks, including the fact that most people refuse to recognize who you are or even that you exist at all, you've built yourself into quite a productive person. You've got a little trouble maintaining a sense of personal order, but through the mess, you're still very industrious and have a small but pivotal impact on almost everyone you know, and even people you don't. You make a whole lot of stuff.

That is actually my life. :wow:

on edit: if I liked bar-fights I'd be Australian.

Most people think you're a cold and forbidding person, but
you're actually naturally warm and inviting. People just get scared off
by what other people have led them to believe about you.
You keep to yourself
for the most part, and are pretty good at fending for yourself, especially if
water's involved.More people should visit you and find out the truth.

Dang, I had no idea!

It'd figure that I'd get the name no one can pronounce or spell. (Though there are just a total of 14 letters in my full (first, middle, and last) names, most of the time at least one is misspelled in official documents.)

You've just been through a big tragedy. You weren't sure you were going to make it at all. Now that you have, there's a lot to pick back up in your life, and not enough people are helping you. You just wanted a little more freedom, a chance to be away from those who thought poorly of you. Now it's time to build up some confidence, and it looks like you have a good chance at that. But you'll need a lot of therapy.
