Geographic definitions can be a highly political topic, and this is the case when talking about what constitutes Europe. The disagreements on regional boundaries extend beyond the lines themselves to include disagreements over what factors should determine the lines -- physical features of the land, cultural similarities and differences, political agreements. We could talk for months and not reach a consensus (and if we ever got close to agreement within a certain set of facts I'd guess enough time would have passed that the underlying cultural and political determinants would probably have changed).

This conversation is getting carried into an area that is divisive, and really outside the scope of this forum. I would say people should categorize themselves for the poll in the manner they would typically identify.

This was a fun thread before it became Political.... Was interesting to see where you were all from! The last few posts were a definite turnoff to me. I’m only interested in where you all are from and not your Politics

Ok, let's stop talking about politics and about my country. I'm so far from all politics, I even don't watch Belorussian TV and don't read news from Belorussian sources. Every man has rights to think what he/she wants and how he/she wants.

But there are a lot of so nice, clever, friendly people in the world and it's not important where they are from.

The Internet makes impossible, Internet is a place where all people from all over the world can be friends and it's so cool!

I ignore Helpyou's comments about my country because it's not a place for such discussions. And If I'm from Belarus and it doesn't mean that I agree with politics there.

In in the far North of Scotland, just before you drop off mainland UK.

Cold and wet here most of the time but I love the pace of life and it's a fairly safe place for the family to grow up. There is also some spectacular countryside and views.

I am British and proud of it, but for most of my life I have been living,working,playing in Israel. I have my friends here now and my sport of triathlon, which I got to be the best of my age group. So if anyone needs fitness tips. Come to me and I will see what I can do for you. Fitness is a big part of our job. if you like it or not.

let's stop with this. even living in Ukraine i prefer to call myself a citizen of the world

as representatives of online gambling marketing we should forget about issues with nationality, we only should care about this if legal questions rise

as for us, gambling online is a product of globalization and so are we

i don't care who is from what part of the world, we are doing the same thing, getting someone to play somewhere to earn our own share. if you can't communicate, you should be ex communicated

аксана, забейте на этого дебила, который писал о польше

I don't understand your point PartnerJ.

I like to know where my fellow webmasters and friends are from. The GPWA is a diverse community and I enjoy getting to know everyone better. It's interesting to me to see what corners of the globe we all come from.

I also like to know where players are too and it all goes to geo targeting and constantly learning.
