It would be fun to know were people are living. There's a very old poll, I live in this Continent (node id 2142!), but that one only focused on continents.

I suggest the following regions (people should pick the closest match):

America

Asia

Europe

Middle East

(I know this is not a continent, but I'm not sure where to include it)

Oceania

Rest of the world

Of course, I don't want to discriminate against anyone here. This is just a trade-off between a list that will allow the majority of monks to choose their country of orign and having a list that is too long. Just reply to this node or /msg me to specify countries or regions that you feel should be specifically included. Or /msg me if you feel the list is too long :).

The question should be "Where do you live?", rather than "Where are you from?", since quite a number of people probably hail from a different country than they currently live in.
