Other: Antarctica? I.S.S.? Sealand? :) Edit: Uh oh, New Zealand isn't covered.

I'm from New Zealand, I just picked South East Asia, because that's where our game servers are. Would've appreciated an Oceanic option, OP. Edit: Nevermind, it's Australia and New Zealand now. You can just replace that with Australasia, for the record.

  I was taught the collective name of Australia and New Zealand was Oceania?

    Australasia is a region of Oceania http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Oceanias_Regions.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Oceanias_Regions.png

      What is interesting is that New Zealand is a "State" according to the Australian Constitution. http://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Senate/Powers_practice_n_procedures/~/link.aspx?_id=956BE242B820434A995B1C05A812D5E1&_z=z http://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Senate/Powers_practic...

        Haha. We claim anything good New Zealand ever does anyway. Pharlap, etc.

  As an Australian, now we can call any famous NZ ex-patriots, "Aussies". Cheers :-) ps. In school we are taught either that Australia is the continent or Oceania is the continent, encompassing Australia, New Zealand, Micronesia, Polynesia (of which NZ is sometimes considered a part of) & Melanesia. It used to be this way until I suppose FIFA started considering Australia part of Asia. Now it's just confusing. If there were an Oceania option, folks in Hawaii could vote for team Oceania.

    New Zealand (Aotearoa) is most definitely within Polynesia, being one of the three corners of the Polynesian triangle, the other two being Rapa Nui (Easter Island) and Hawai'i. I chose US on the poll, but feel that Oceania is more appropriate in a geographical sense, especially since so many Americans don't consider Hawai'i to be a part of "the states." (until it comes to war)

  I'd love to know what percentage of Australasia respondents are kiwis, as I'm heading that way myself soon.

  Wouldn't Australasia include New Guinea also?

Somaliland representing. (Although I didn't bother submitting to the poll. Don't usually bother voting on articles and comments either).

If rdl (YC S11) see's this, he could vote Sealand. Although I think he may of fallen out with their King and Queen.
