I assume I'll get beaten with a stick if I do one in English?

*Note to the Dalmatians. There is a large Dalmatian population in New Zealand and many settled amongst Maori communities during the 1800 early 1900s. These people we're called Tarara (due to the sound of the language to Maori ears) - as such the name Tarara - 'Dalmatian' is in fact applied to the entire region of the former Yoguslavia, Checzoslavia and even Hungary etc)

Edena, I think Azerbaijian actually is Asia...

YAY for the Dutchmen!

Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia (the former Soviet Republic) are all part of Europe, technically. For example, they are members of UEFA (albeit so is Isreal). Now, I don't think they're on the shortlist for EU membership...

 

[zouron]

Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia ARE a part of europa, but no they are not on the list of EU countries that are about to join the EU union... most likely because they haven't applied (just like Switzerland hasn't) and/or doesn't furfill the requirement.

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

Thanks for the names, Tonguez!

Can anyone give the french names for the United States, and for the nations of Europe?

 

[Capellan]

Thanks for the names, Tonguez!

Can anyone give the french names for the United States, and for the nations of Europe?

The EU page is a good place to look for this stuff

Here are the various European nations in French:

http://europa.eu.int/abc/governments/index_fr.html

There's a menu on the left hand side of the page to allow you to change languages.

The page only offers a translation for the name "United Kingdom", rather than England / Scotland / Wales / Northern Ireland, so you won't get all the constituent parts ... I believe the French for England is Angleterre, but I don't know the others.
