I had to go to a tie-breaker question...apparently my preference for french fries over food coloring makes me more Belgian than Danish. :rolleyes:

You scored as a Belgian

In reality, I'm British, Polish and German (and probably smatterings of other stuff nobody told me about). When people ask my ancestry, I usually respond with "mutt."

I scored "as a Irish". This thing is stupid.

I scored as Irish, and that's the nationality of my father's father's side of the family - 4th generation immigrant. However, his mother's side of the family was German (descended from a Hessian) with American Indian and Scottish, and my mother's side of the family is French/Indian.

Irish=100%
Italian=100%
Belgian=75%
German=75%
French=50%

Peculiar, but not terribly off. I'm highland Scot, lowland Scot, Irish, English, Spanish and a touch of African. What the hell is a 'Molvanian'? :confused:

I always thought that Australia was invented by the English as satire.
