What country are you from?
Title.
I'm from Poland, I think there's quite a lot of people watching anime here but we don't really seem them often on foreign forums.
SWEDEN!
Cool! A very close friend of mine moved to sweden like.. 2 weeks ago :( I'll get to see him this summer I guess..
He told me your country has a lot of ethnic diversity, he saw a lot more than just swedes there.
All hail the multicultural disease...
[Removed]
Lived here for my whole life, the ethnic diversity is bigger the bigger the city and the souther it is. In the countryside there is almost only swedes and even more so if you go to Norrland, the northern half of Sweden. So it depends, I prefer there to be no people though.
Do you mean no people at all or only your people (Swedes)?
No people at all. Unless they give me smörgåstårta, then they are ok.
A wise choice.
I can second being from Sweden. Woop, woop! (Albeit, Gronbuske can have some weird tastes and opinions, but I think he would want me around even if I didn't give him smörgåstårta!)
My dear friend Skägg is absolutely ok, + he got a mighty beard.
NORWAY!! The only real Scandinavian country.
Ohh please, how is Sweden not Scandinavian? Denmark, you could say that it's not Scandinavian, but Sweden, we're as Scandinavian as it gets. We invented the art of standing in line and ignoring the existence of everyone else on the bus/train!
Hahah, what I meant was that Norway is the OG Scandinavian country. We had the most vikings and we are the most badass in general.
Sweden: We prefer to you guys as the gay version of Norway.
Denmark: They are completely impossible to understand and plays with lego.
Finland: The Russian version of Norway.
Iceland: Do people live here?! /sIt was meant as a joke, not a geography lesson.
I thought Norway had a love-hate relationship with Sweden? I mean, stereotypically speaking.
Also, I remember going on a cruise to Norway with Swedish family members of mine, and they found Norwegians speaking Swedish the funniest thing ever.A love-hate relationship would be pretty accurate. Sweden's given nickname from Norway is Søta bror, meaning Sweet Brother. At the same time, we are also bitter rivals in numerous fields.

That pretty much sums it up, we owned Norway up until about a hundred years ago so it's understandable. This also applies to Denmark, since Sweden and Denmark were constantly at war until 200 years ago (anneversary last year) when we stole Norway from them.
This competition has resulted in either Sweden, Norway or Denmark being at the top of basically all lists you want to be on top of (world happiness index etc.) and the other two closely following. :D
Naw. Its Sweden and Demark that have a (love?) hate relationship. Apparently if the Öresund sea freeze, and a Swede walks over to Denmark, Danes are allowed to hit them with sticks.
What countries are you meaning that are a part of Scandinavia - Sweden and Norway? Because people say that there are also some other countries in it and it's a bit confusing term for me. I'm so bored to even get interested in this shit..(No need to reply. I'll just leave now)
The three Scandinavian countries are Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
Finland can be included in the geographical term of Scandinavia, since it lies on the Scandinavian Peninsula, as does a tiny part of Russia.
Iceland can be included in the cultural term of Scandinavia, since Icelanders are closely related to their Northern brethren, the Norwegians.
The Faroe Islands and the Finnish Islands of Åland can also be culturally included in the term, but it is irrelevant to mention the Faroe Islands, since they're actually part of Denmark, while Åland is part of Finland, but is mainly inhabited by (ethnic) Swedes.
Nice to meet a fellow Norwegian :D
Canada :D
Ayyy Canada ! :3
Hey !! You are from Canada too !?
I live in Canada now :3, It's been cold these past few days .. Not that I can complain because, CANADA!! XD

'Murica. The only country that matters.
- unknown11y
That is not true, every country matters to god
México ! :)
I'm from 'Murica as well ^.^ but a little more specifically, I'm in the Central Timezone :3
LATVIA!! Probably nobody has heard about it, but anyway. xD
what are the odds, im half latvian :o
From the US.
Don't be confused by my occasional use of Australian slang. I talk to @Cloud1 too much XDOh, and I don't really know any anime fans where I live. I'm sure they're around, but I can't seem to find them.
I am from the Philippines but is currently living in Canada ! :3 So Maple syrup anyone ? XD
Cool. I'm from Philippines too. :)
I'm from Portugal :) I can't make any statements on what most people watch, I think I've only met the part of the Portuguese fandom that already watches a lot of anime, so my perception is skewed.
Brasil!
From Norway. Lots of my real-life friends watch anime (@Pluuu in particular), but I also get teased a lot for it by the friends who do not.
Tbh I used to hardcore tease people who like anime and then I watched an actual anime and was like this is cool wtf. Still, I'm lowkey about it. I don't go around cosplaying during school nor would I join the anime club that shit is like social suicide.
Brazil... but planning to get out of this ****hole next year, if everything goes as planned. Then moving to Canada or Japan.
America.
I can't wait to move down South. There's many people I dislike where I live and I hate this snow in the North.
No offense, but people also tend to be nicer in the South...
As a southerner, I can vouch for that XD
I don't know what it is about the north that make people act like jerks
That all depends on where you go in the South.
If I wanted to be technical, I'm from China. However I live in the good ol' United States of America
