Jan Mayen (Nor.) seems to be part of Europe.

Would that qualify Jeep? (This would add "J" to the included initial list.)

Yay? Nay?

Jan Mayen is no more a country than the Galapagos Islands. It's a volcanic island partially covered by glaciers with no real inhabitants that belongs to Norway.

I think we just bite the bullet and make Jeter, Jimenez, and Co. free agents.

Territories do not qualify as Countries. You're grasping. :wink:

I'll bite. Since I now live in Europe (UK), do I get preferential picks?

I went on the EU website and pulled out the country listing (EU and non-EU combined), so I think I have them all....

Albania ....... Lithuania
Andorra ....... Luxembourg
Armenia ....... Macedonia*
Austria ....... Malta
Azerbaijan ....... Moldova
Belarus ....... Monaco
Belgium ....... Montenegro
Bosnia/Herzegovina .. Netherlands
Bulgaria ....... Norway
Croatia ....... Poland
Cyprus ....... Portugal
Czech Republic .. Romania
Denmark ....... Russia
Estonia ....... San Marino
Finland ....... Serbia
France ....... Slovakia
Georgia ....... Slovenia
Germany ....... Spain
Greece ....... Sweden
Hungary ....... Switzerland
Iceland ....... Turkey
Ireland ....... Ukraine
Italy ....... United Kingdom
Latvia ....... Vatican City State
Liechtenstein

*Macedonia Is technically called "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" but since there are other F and other M countries it's moot so I shortened it to make the list fit more neatly.

So from the other page Kosovo was added. Is that the only non-official country being added to this list?

1. It actually makes no difference to me, as long as we have an agreed-upon list to go by. Just let me/us know, and we're good to go.

2. Thanks for having me here. This seems like a fun challenge. . . a new way to get my butt kicked by you guys. :)

One More. 8-)

Regarding the UK: "UK" will be used and not the ind. Countries part of the UK. Wanted to state that before we got into this.

But that is the country, the United Kingdom. Wales, England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland aren't separate countries.
