By the way: "Nordic" unambiguously refers to Norway + Sweden + Denmark + Finland + Iceland. "Scandinavia" always includes Sweden and Norway, and sometimes Denmark. Among foreign speakers it is sometimes erroneously used for the whole Nordic area. In linguistics we often use "Nordic languages" to refer to modern-day North Germanic languages, even though Finnish and Sami are also spoken in the Nordics. In a political context "Nordic languages" would presumably include Finnish and maybe Sami as well.

I think the stuff on the wiki is what you put there yourself... It's a bit different, too.

[Viktor77]

US geographic distribution of ZBBers according to results collected here. Some of this data is misleading, for example Illinois is denser and there are states represented which aren't here, but I could only use data compiled here so this was the result:



I was going to do Europe and Canada but the results were rather boring and uninteresting.

How dare you call Europeans boring! Shun!

EDIT: Shit, forgot Salmoneus in the UK. Well, that doesn't change the color in any event...

[Jipí]

Radagast is from Denmark, but not necessarily in Denmark right now (IIRC he was doing research in Mexiko some time ago, and then had a longer stay in the US). Haven't seen him here or on the channel for ages. Miekko's from Finland. Izo is from Catalunya (i.e. Spain), cctoide (also not seen for ages here) is from Portugal, and Diogenes is also from Austria.

[Viktor77]

I was only using data from this thread so it was Sweden, Germany, UK, and Malta, maybe the Netherlands. Not very interesting.
