Question for European Apolyton Members

[MikeH]

I got taught most stuff from the Pilgrim Fathers onwards. Including native american culture before we arrived, Spanish, French, Dutch and British settlement, expansion westwards, slavery triangle, war of independence etc. Was a course we did in the second or third year of secondary school. Year 8 or 9 nowadays, 12-14. I didn't get much past the 19th century 'cause I dropped history for GCSEs. Read about it on my own since then though.

I couldn't name all the counties of the UK. Not really important though. If someone asked me where one of them was I could tell them. *shrug*

It is a country! BTW, 25% of the pop. consider themselves to be christian. This is a very high percentage in Europe. We're talking personal faith here, not nominal religion.

Reykjavik paiktis22.

What's the capital of Rockalll?

BTW that city was always a pain in the ass in Civ 2. Not sure why.

It's not Glasgow it's Edinburgh.

[Dr. Stiby]

It's not Glasgow it's Edinburgh.

Edinburgh works for me. I was just guessing (and since the best soccer of Scotland is being played in Glasgow, well... )

[MikeH]

Best soccer in England is played in Manchester.

No. 8/12 are independent.

The Orkneys
Shetland
Greenland
Iceland
Sealand
Ireland (Eire)


are sovereign states.

Wales
Scotland

are part of GB, but have some sort of independent country status I think.

[MikeH]

Wales and Scotland have their own regional parliments but they aren't independent. They just have their own football teams.

[Dr. Stiby]

I think I just got the Greenland capital. It's Gothab right?
And I really doubt the independence of the Orkneys, the Shetland Islands en Sealand!

Counties? Like Essex, Wessex, Cumbria, Northumbria, Wales, Cornwall,... fill in the rest.

I've played the board game Brittania. Great game.
