Yes, hilarious to see "South Dakota" as a specific region, but Canada as a whole.

This reminds me of a visit to a store in the DFW area (Texas) called "World Market". They sell all kinds of things from all over the world that you would have a hard time finding anywhere else including food, furnishings, decorations, knick-knacks, gee-gaws, and other shit, etc.

Employees there that I talked with had never noticed that for everything sourced outside Africa the outline and flag of that nation was displayed but for everything from Africa there was only an outline of Africa labeled as "Africa".

Geography is so important especially today with the ability to connect to anyone, anywhere in near real time.

The answers to the poll are so the OP knows where we are from.

The questions in the poll are so we know where the OP is from.

I know right? East River SD and West River SD are practically different countries.

Truthfully, it should have been West and East Dakota, not North and South.

Happy to see both Dakotas have votes.
