    Re: How Good Is Your Geographic? [5]

    When you said GB was a good answer, I thought of Gibraltar.

    Then though I thought maybe it was a trick and the fact we are known as Great Britain & Northern Ireland, so maybe its Northern Ireland or Rep Ireland?
    I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

    Nope not Gibraltar, not NI or Rep Ireland.

    I don't want to say why GB was a good guess since I might use that as a question later on.

    Ireland? Although the only county in Ireland I can think of with blue and yellow colours is Waterford, but that has ships on its' banner

    I know some of the Polish provinces have blue and yellow arms, probably due to the fact that they were invaded and administered by Sweden 700-1000 years ago

    Not Poland but you are getting closer.

    Also our wars against Poland were only 300-400 years ago.

    I was never much good at telling the time.

    On the same track then how about Lithuania. I know that some of the Lithuanian provinces were under Swedish control a few hundred years back
