Thank You Michu,
Just wondering though, where is Pyrlandia? Up in the firmament? I thought that I was well versed with geography. My ancestors were from Lower Saxony,a place called Vogtland. Vogts being my name. But I can't make the Michu/Pyrlandia connection.

Judging by the editing, I missed something there.
Anyway I added the additions to my original reply. Cheers!

Jimmy, my location has a meaning only if you are Polish, but sounds cool anyways

the part of Poland i come from is often mocked for production of potatos known locally as
pyry, so we call our land Pyrlandia (on a map you'd have too look for Wielkopolska)
i used to have there 'Land of Underground Orange' which is a reference to both potatos and A Clockwork Orange, and is used sometimes by local footie fans

In USA when we say we are going to Norway, when actually we are going to Minnesota. It is full of Norwegian descendants from the 1800's. Their great grandchildren still say ja at and the end of their sentances.
