There may be a small prize for the winner! The question is, what nation am I from? And the hints are :
1. It is in Europe. 2. It qualifies me to be the 'token Communist' on any discussion board. 3. Our flag has three colours, one of them being red.
Happy guessing.

I already guessed British in another thread, but obviously that's not it.
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
I didn't see that post, but indeed I am not from Britain.
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
But we already have a token Communist. Or "communist," actually.
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
Bah, I'm sure he or she is a mere impostor, not truly trained in the dialectic. In any case, I'm prepared to fight for the post. Marx is strong in me.

If I name of enough incorrect answers will you stop being so sneaky and cut the tension, by divolging your secret location?

Åland

Here is one page with most/all the flags of europe. Note almost all the flags have red in them. My history/geography knowledge is pathetic at best, so I refuse to make any guesses for now.
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
Not Bulgaria. And Åland isn't even a nation.
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
quote: Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Latvia and Estonia.
One of these? Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Lithuania and Slovenia all fit your description. Not to mention Russia and the Czech Republic.
I think you're being a tinsy bit vague.
EDIT: Since you no-ed Bulgaria, we can wipe that. But seriously. You can't give wide variables like that.

I'll guess something random like...Croatia?

Well, your parents live in Norway.

Maybe, but I gave you a clue as did the response to my "answer".

Hey...aspectre, are you King of Men? Posted by Erik Slaine (Member # 5583) on :
Well?
Posted by aspectre (Member # 2222) on :
Nah, I only use one name on Hatrack. I enjoy taking credit&blame for my postings wa-a-ay too much to use another.

Point taken.
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
My hints are intentionally vague. I am shrouded in mystery, moving with secrecy and speed. I am enigma, wrapped in riddle. Yeah!
I am not aspectre, and still don't see what Åland has to do with it.
Finally, well done to Hollow Earth. *Kicks self* Dashit, I should have started this thread before the telephone one. You were supposed to be learning some geography by looking up ever more obscure countries. My mission to educate America must continue in more subtle ways.
Posted by aspectre (Member # 2222) on :
Oh well, I see what you mean. Iceland would be a better hint, though : Their colours are a reversal of ours, copycats that they are.
Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :
Norway?

Egomainia? Luvmyselfaloveria?
Posted by aspectre (Member # 2222) on :
As for the clue that KingOfMen dropped: consider that only Finns, Swedes, and Norwegians are likely to know about Åland; let alone know enough to use the phrasing "And Åland isn't even a nation."
Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :
The Faroe Islands?
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
Norway, comrades. Hollow Earth hit oil, the rest of you can stop drilling.
Posted by aspectre (Member # 2222) on :
Actually, ErikSlaine, I considered using that "homeland" in answer to EruveNandiriel and yourself.
Don't believe the bit about "communist" though. Norway imports its low-wage laborers from Sweden: black gold, texas tea.

Swedes tend to get rather uppity. These days it's Poland all the way.
In any case, it is the Swedes who call us 'the last Soviet,' as though it were our fault that our welfare state works and theirs doesn't.
