I'm up in the Great Northwest
Sunny southern California.
Specifically, Ventura County. (About midway between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara)
I go between San Francisco and Gold Country California
I'm from Europa, beside Japan I never been outside any countrys there.
I'm near Los Angeles.
I am in Tasmania, Australia's island state that is about as far from everywhere else as it is possible to get. I have a thing about remote islands. I want to visit Svalbard and Iceland before I die.
Karen.
I am from the Pacific Northwest, the Seattle area to be more precises.
I'am from Southeastern Penna.,Phila.area.
Sadface. I'm not from anywhere. The metric I've worked out is I claim wherever I've lived the longest. That's currently Birmingham Alabama, but will be overtaken by Portland Oregon within the year. I was born on the gulf coast of Texas.
Geez,
Australia, which is larger than the USA, gets one placing. Mmm.

Oh and koalas! I forgot about them. So you have dirty criminals and ADORABLE treebears.
Ms. Obrien you should totally come holler at me at Pride or one of the other festival parades. My daughter and I tend to be pretty visible. :)

I grew up in Sisters Oregon. I lived there till I was 18. My dad is in Damascus, just east of Portland. It is good to meet some others from the Pac. NW.
I think I'm from the smallest country of the board, The Netherlands.
But small countries can be big in some things like same sex marriage ( for more than 10 years) transition on an easy way, tolerance and a good healthcaressystem, so I'm not complaining.
central CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA
British Columbia.
To me where I was born and grow up does not have any meaning as I do not feel I am from that land and culture. However I could not help but be influenced by their culture. I feel the same way about the countries where my parents where born, which were different from each other and from mine. Interestingly, I did not feel I belong to the lands of my father or the lands of my mother, yet to some degree I was imbued by their cultures and costumes. Both of my parents were displaced from their original countries by WWII.
It was only after living a few years in America that a sense of "belonging" developed. So, I am from America by the grace of God, and just so happen to be living in the Northern Virginia near DC.
Howard County Maryland, southwest of Baltimore, due north of Washington DC
Chicago!
Although I too disagree with the designations, I'm from Merry Old England but have stayed in Scotland for nigh on 11 years. Have always thought of myself as British though.
Right, I'm away to watch Braveheart and catch a wild Haggis for my lunch. Maybe I'll share it with Nessie

Are you counting the bit that is falling into the Pacific and the bit that is in Canada?

Hawaii and Alaska?
You bet your bippy I am!
I am absolutely sure Australia's 7,617,930 sq km includes Tasmania (for better or worse)
Don't let anyone know, we never include Tasmania. But shush about that.
They get upset
The population density is very different between the two, though.
USA =32 people per sq km
Australia = 3 people per sq km
So really, they both have a whole lot of... well... trees and rocks and clouds and stuff. :P
I'm in Columbus, Ohio- anyone else in the area?

and I thought it was crowded here! How do you find solitude or grow food?
On the whole we don't grow food, though there are a lot of allotments these days, and even quite a big city beekeeping movement. I grow veg in my garden.
And solitude is easy, your just near someone else when you do it,

As an ex-tour guide, I know all the public loos in a 5 mile radius of Charing Cross.

I once saw the perfect solution for this problem in a
junk antique shop.
It was called the "Coachman's Friend." It was designed for use by railroad conductors (coachmen), who often had no convenient place to relieve themselves while walking through the passenger cars.
It consisted of a concave flask that fitted to the lower leg of the coachman, by straps. To the top of the flask was connected rubber medical tubing, which ran up through the pant leg, to an appliance that fit onto the coachman's wiener. Whenever and where ever the coachman felt the call of nature, he need only pause for a moment and relieve himself into the flask.
Genius!
Such a device would certainly have an application today at crowded sporting events, bar-hopping, and strolls through Adelaide.
If you read David Niven's autobiography 'The Moon is a Balloon', he put wine bottles to good use at public events!
I can imagine that must work great with a skirt >:-)

They are quite uncomfortable (at least that has been my experience).
