From reading the posts and comments on the community site since it started, I have noticed that we seem to have a community made up of people from all over the world. I am curious to know how widespread our community is.
So, it's simple - where are you from? If you are from a country with a lot of states/provinces, include that info in your comment too! In addition to satisfying my (and probably others) curiousity, this could also lead to being able to ask questions of people from a country you would want to know more about! (I realize there will hopefully be lots and lots of comments on this post - I hope this doesn't cause any techinical issues!)
To begin: I am from Sarnia, Ontario, Canada.

For those who don't get the area context, I'm from a moderately conservative area and I'm probably the most liberal person for 500 miles. At least. It's also a rather rural area. Backwater. Hick. Honestly, it's a miracle my blood pressure's as good as it is, given all that.
