Here's one of those "lost in the translation" samples.

Texas translates to Tejas in Spanish.
Tejas translates to Roofing Tiles in English.

And we have a Free Trade Agreement with Mexico ???

True only Napoca. I am not sure about Alba Iulia. Constanta is near the ancient greek city of Tomis. Damn greeks, they colonised all the coast

I thought Alba Iulia was the name for city build above the ruins of Decebal's Sarmizegetuza, back at the Dacia times

I live in Nederland, although in English it is often refered as Holland.

Holland is only a part of the Netherlands or "Low Countries" (since it is below sea-level), much like England is only a part of Great-Britain.

In Dutch, Germany is: Duitsland. Mark the similarity between Dutch and Deutch/Duits. Common ancesters

In most languanges, the Netherlands, if not refered to as Holland, bear names that do justice to its name: the low countries.
-Niederlande
-Pays-Bas
-Pajos bajos (sp?)
-Netherlands
-etc
-etc

I guess we are truly Native to this place

Yep, the best place to be

England is a country in its own right though, unlike Holland.

Korea, my current country, is 'Han-gook'

The full, formal name is "Dae-Min-Han-Gook", which is also the football cheer cause it basically means 'Korea is the greatest'.

Hmmm...(looks at EU2 map) is 'Ayyuthaya' an old name for Thailand?

You should take your own advice... now stop speaking to me troll!

Plus, my gripes are with the leadership, not the country. I'm not going to let a bunch of right-wing baffoons drive me out of my country.
