All Americans call Denmark for Holland...

Dane: "I live in Denmark"
American: "Cool you live in Holland"
Dane: " -.- "

Of course this isn't meant evil in no way and i guess the Americans on this forum now what Denmark is. :p

I'm also an American and have never heard anyone refer to Denmark as Holland, ever.

It's probably true. There are some people who think New Mexico is still part of Mexico in this country. :wacko:

I have also heard many state that Portugal is a Spanish Province. Seriously makes me wonder what they are teaching in your normal american school.

Yes, my neighbors in the north are special, I remember once I had a Spanish flag as a sticker in the back or my car, I was crossing the border and the Custom agent asked me what University was that :wacko: hahaha.

PS: Please no offence on that, it was just a comment.

They basically teach nothing beyond the American Revolution, but this is getting a bit off topic now, I think, lol.

Agreed, lets post some screenshots here.

I like this event, Europe should learn from us how to manage colonies.

I'd call everyone English too if I was constantly being mislabeled Dutch when I'm actually Deutsch. Its very funny to watch them talk amongst themselves and call asian people and africans 'English', especially when they think no one can understand them. And Kolprock, they do descend from the German portion of Switzerland, Alsace-Lorraine, and the Palatinate. Which is how I got here but thats another story. I'd imagine its part of the whole 'every person of German blood is German regardless of which country they come from'. But thats another matter. There are many Americans who don't know where anything is outside of their state and the surrounding states. I've heard many people insist that Europe is a country and Australia is located in Europe. Problem with American schooling is that all you have to do is show up to pass, you never really have to learn anything.

Its easy to be multicultural when your country is the size of New Jersey and surrounded by many other countries.

Most Americans don't care about what goes on outside their state, nevermind the country. It's a darn shame, really, and probably why we have so many bad politicians.

Zakharov said:
Just to say, it wasn't a king but a queen who united the kingdoms in 1707

Just to say, that was a parliamentary union. The kingdoms were united in 1603 when James VI Stuart, the king of Scotland, travelled South to become king of England as well.

Couldn't you just say it's similar to the state system, in that Scotland is part of Britain but still has it's own parliament, and has certain small amounts of power.
