Do you identify with your country of origin/ citizenship or with another subregion? Why?

Personally I feel more connected to the Vancouver BC/ Seattle/ Portland corridor than with the rest of the US, so I feel more comfortable saying I'm a Cascadian than an American.

  • My primary identity is Dravidian, and more specifically, Tamilian. Rather than Indian.

  • I feel connected to my city, my region, the EU and Germany in that order. Which is how it's supposed to be I guess, except that EU and Germany are swapped for some facist reasons

  • I’m a special snowflake and I don’t really identify with people in any particular area. Though I guess I do know my tribe when I meet them. But we don’t really have a name. Intellectual hippies maybe.

    If I had to pick one then probably my neighborhood is how I would identify.

  • Though I'm from the Netherlands, my father had been living in France for fifteen years now (and we spent ten years in that area renovating the house).

    So I consider France to be my second fatherland.

  • I identify mostly with my country (Brazil). I honestly identify more with a somewhat local football team (soccer team, for the americans) than with my state lol.

  • I am European (but currently living in Asia). I don't identify with my country of birth. However, I do feel connected to the Franco-Alemannic culture space that I grew up in. The languages, literature, arts and crafts, architecture, food, music etc. are way more important to me than the colour of my passport or the madhouse that is politics.

  • I don't identify with either my country of birth (where I lived until I was 19) or the country I currently reside in. Of course I have a strong influence from both, especially where I grew up, and I find it's easier for me to understand the culture there but that doesn't mean I resonate or identify with it.
