How Good Is Your Geographic? [5]

Don't have a clue.
Probably those who explored the continent like UK, France, Norway.
Maybe USA cos they claim everything.
Maybe some southerners like Argentina and New Zealand.....

We don't claim much cold stuff! :laugh:

Your other guesses seem about right, and I couldn't guess any closer. But I do remember that it's 5 or 6 countries at least, and kind of a scattering across the globe.

Denmark has - Folketing - The People's Thing
The Isle of Man has - Tynwald - The Thing in the Meadow

But...

Norway has - Storting - The Big Thing.

Someone else go now.

Alþing in Island does not mean "law".. It is obvious that it means all

Law descends from Lag or lagu, so you see Lagting and Løgting Swedih and Faroes are later developments of the ur-language spoken by more or less everybody up in the north--
alla=al= all
Lagu=lag=law

law (n.) http://www.etymonline.com/graphics/dictionary.gifOld English lagu (plural laga, comb. form lah-) "law, ordinance, rule, regulation; district governed by the same laws," from Old Norse *lagu "law," collective plural of lag "layer, measure, stroke," literally "something laid down or fixed," from Proto-Germanic *lagan "put, lay" (see lay (v.)).

Yes. I bow humbly before your stick of correction.

Hey bro'. No constitution, no Country. You can't have one. Not even ow. Those are the rules... that I just made up. Chur! :D

http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/c...aca430/s6.html
"The Commonwealth" shall mean the Commonwealth of Australia as established under this Act.
"The States" shall mean such of the colonies of New South Wales, New Zealand, Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia, and South Australia, including the northern territory of South Australia...

- Section 6, Commonwealth Of Australia Constitution Act 1900

By the way... hurry up and get your Red Bands off our flag. Yeah, nah bro, get your own. That'd be heaps cool.

So the one more is the not so obvious one?
