I do not find it too surprising actually... I think Adventure games didnt have the same unfortunate death it did here in the US.. But from the ashes rose the mighty TTG... but to be fair The Adventure Company has been doing their best for a long time to keep it on life support.
I'm from the Netherlands (and from Holland, because I live in the province of South Holland), also a land of sailors. Rotterdam, my city, was actually one of the chambers of the VOC, the Dutch East India Company.
Poor entire world other than North America and western Europe. And Russia.
Jag kommer från Australien. Jag talar bara engelska flytande. Varför talar jag svenska? Jag vill förvillar ni. Jag vet min svensk är ganska dålig. Jag behöver mer praktik.
And other declarative sentences.
Saying Britain is only England is more like saying that the US is only New England, Canada is only Ontario, and that Russia is only... European Russia, maybe? But the UK likes to make things confusing by referring to its four subdivisions as countries, when the rest of the English speaking world uses the word to refer to independent nations. This leads to conversations like this:
Someone not from the UK: Scotland is not a country.
Someone from the UK: Hahaha, you're so dumb! Hahaha... dumb.
Or it would if thatwas a believable way for anyone to talk.
I'm from the US - Louisiana, specifically. Or even more specifically, born in South Carolina (home of the most unlikely of pirates), lived just over half my life in Louisiana (home of the gentleman pirate).

Je viens de la France, je peux donc être trés grossier envers vous, americains (sarcasme), je mange aussi des cuisses de grenouilles et des escargots à tout les repas (sarcasme).
Try to translate that.

"I come from France, so I can be very rude to you, Americans, I also eat frogs' legs and snails at all meals"
Unfortunately, online translators sap the fun out of that sort of stuff.
I was tempted to reply using a "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" comment, but any study of French history before 1871 shows how utterly inaccurate such a phrase is.
I'm actually rather surprised at the small amount of French people in this poll, its far lower in comparison to the Germans, Italians and us English. I would have thought there would have been more. The amount of Canadians is also unexpectedly low.

Thanks ! French history begins far before the battle of Sedan... Ok, we lost like most of the battles against England... But we won lot of others...
By the way, I really like The Simpsons and some jokes about french people such as Homer explains to Lisa/Joan of Arc : "Victory, were French, we don't even have a word for victory"... It's funny but sometimes it's just not the truth ;-)

So am I... Maybe we are shy corsairs ??? It's strange because Monkey Island series were a big hit in the country...

Yeah beeing french too I'm also very surprised!
Though we gave birth to some of the most sanguinary and fearsome pirates on Earth like L'Olonnais, Monbars or Grammont!!
Well! And I know a lot of people in France who loves MI.
So where the hell are you hiding french scumm?
Aye, it does seem that a few too many non-Brits take "England" as synonymous for "Britain" or "United Kingdom". Definition is everything; a Scot will no more tick the field for "England" than I would for "Germany".
A nice Euler diagram to display our quaint and complicated naming system in the British Isles for those of you outside of our waters.
Arriving a bit late on this but... Nooooooooo! Ireland is not part of the British Isles!!!!! The Britons never lived in Ireland, so it can't be designated as British, no more than India could be called British (as in, both were conlonized by the British Empire, but now they are independant states). I dispute the usage of this term to include Ireland. Why should we be eternally associated with each other, just because we are geographically adjacent? Why lump the two islands together? Why not pull Iceland in, as well :P ?
/postcolonial-tinged rant
Oh, and I'm from Ireland btw, in case you didn't guess!
Never say to a scottish man that he is a english man and never say to a irish man that he is a british man ! because they're not !
By the way, I am agree with you. But it's easier to explain this way. It's not easy to explain with the GB, UK, nations inside the UK, British Isles, Ulster is not just Northern Ireland, etc...
