did you else know that juridically only the Faroe Islands and Greenland have the right to be called Norway

What? Can't Norway be called Norway? You're weird Justice

[Justice]

I said juridically, but I doubt any court would follow the laws

[Secret_Holder]

Yes, but what do you mean by "juridically"?

[Justice]

According to old treaties and laws who never where put out of function

That does sound a bit odd though, I certainly hadn't heard of that. Funny if it's true though. You don't have any reference or something I can look up on that to find out more?

(On a side note, I'm seriously stuck on campaign 4, mission 5. Getting hammered every way I turn.)

I have it from a faroese book.. I can try to see if someone has written about it on the net once I get home from school...

Im from The Netherlands


And some info, that i copied from a other site

======

The Kingdom of the Netherlands was formed in 1815. In 1830 Belgium seceded and formed a separate kingdom. The Netherlands remained neutral in World War I, but suffered invasion and occupation by Germany in World War II. A modern, industrialized nation, the Netherlands is also a large exporter of agricultural products. The country was a founding member of NATO and the EEC (now the EU), and participated in the introduction of the euro in 1999.

Oh, because some (most) of the currently available maps of the world (including the more specific ones - mainly Europe) are misleading I'd like to mention one little thing:

Yugoslavia is no longer Yugoslavia. It changed from Yugoslvia to Serbia and Montenegro in 2003 (14th March) and recently there was a referendum concerning the autonomy of Montenegro and it has passed with a majority of 55,47% people voting YES. So, Serbia and Montenegro are now two separate states (which is really interesting because they qualified for the world championship in football as a UNION - Serbia and Montenegro; now they are divided so I'm not sure if they will remain as a union for this championship OR change something concerning participation - weird, huh?)

And, I know these things because I'm from Serbia and Montenegro. We have a REALLY interesting post WWII history - first we were SFRJ (Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia - Slovenia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia, Croatia), after that in 1991 SRJ (Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia - only Serbia and Montenegro), 2003 Serbia and Montenegro, and finally Sebia AND Montenegro as separate sountries. In the intermezzo between two WW we were a kingdom (mostly all of the countries that were in SFRJ, only it functioned as a monarchy and was called KSHS - Kraljevina Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca - English: The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenians).

I currently live in Budapest, Hungary - I study here. I come from a mixed marriage, my father is Hungarian, my mother Serbian. I was born in Subotica which is a city on the northern border of Serbia and is heavily populated by Hungarians (they are a national minority in Serbia, but a regional majority in the north of Serbia) so I speak fluent Serbian and Hungarian. It's a very nice city with a pop. of around 150,000. Although some people consider it a REALLY big village I still consider it a city...local patriotism anyone?

Maybe I'll post some pictures later on if anyone is interested...and if you have any questions, just ask - if I can I'll do my best to answer them.

150 000 inhabitants? That would be a city in sweden anyway... the city I study in(Gothenburg), only has 200-300 000 inhabitants(not sure of exact number and of how many suburbs should be counted an so on) and that's the second largest city in sweden.

Here's a more accurate map of Europe, for your convenience:
