Well, I used to know a bloke named Chad. And I met his friend Jordan once who's a fairly decent hockey player btw.
:erm:
I have a nephew named Jordan who has been whippin' some a$$ in tennis for Occidental College
San Marino (well, it's major enough to have a grand prix ;) )
Howdy again.
I had not considered the Cook Islands when I posed my Q.
But I did put the word 'major' in the Q in order to disqualify these piddly little places like Saint Pierre and Saint Barthelemy, etc. Or even Turkey (named for schmenke, no?)
HINT: The country I'm looking for is bigger than all the others on my list save for America.
I assume this isn't a reference to Great Britain and Britannia? Because that would be incorrect.
No, Ben, it's not about G Britain, although a case might be made that G Britain was named for a bunch of albinos (Albion -white-) rather than the -white- cliffs LOLQuote:
