Hi everyone! Just for fun, I thought I'd start a new poll asking how many of you are from the English-speaking First World countries: USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

Just to clarify, when I ask where someone is "from", I am asking the following criteria:

1. Those who were born and raised in said country (and presumably hold citizenship in said country, although I'm not concerned about citizenship status),

or

2. Those who were raised in said country (i.e. those who may have been born elsewhere, but were raised in the above countries from childhood into adulthood).

I put a poll here so that you could vote for the above choices.

Note:

(a) I am confident that people on PF know this already, but when I mention the United Kingdom, I am taking into account people from all of the regions of the UK -- England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands. I am also taking into account those who come from current colonies/dependencies of the United Kingdom (e.g. Bermuda, the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, the Pitcairn Islands, etc.)

(b) When I mention USA, I am also taking into account those who come from US territories, (e.g. Guam, Puerto Rico, or American Samoa).

(c) When I mention Australia or New Zealand, I am also taking into account those who come from dependencies from either country (e.g. Christmas Island and Norfolk Islands for Australia, Cook Islands for New Zealand).
