Hey.

This site is very multi-national, and this is one of the reasons I love it. I am ashamed however how little I know of other countries. So here is two suggestions:

1. All members give a link to the official webpage of their country, with all the info like system, president etc. etc. etc. and a link to this is created. So if I talk to some one from Uzbekistan, I can just quickly click there to find some info.

2. Yet another forum is created. In here, let's say on Friday's, everyone posts an newspaper article, or link to one, of what he\she sees as the main news story of the week in his\her country\province\state. I think in this way we can learn much more about one another, and even improve our level of discussion (not that it needs lifting...)

What do you all think?

I think it's a good idea.
If you want a quick overview of any country, this is a good place to get it.

Luxembourg is too tiny and to rarely in the news to have a lot of people know a lot about it.
Last week i recieved a package from the US with the adress saying : " Grand- Duchy of Luxembourg , Germany" The postman almost killed me
If you´re interested in figures, political system , facts about the country etc., i would recommend these pages :


Luxembourg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Luxembourg Presidency - About Luxembourg

ONT Luxembourg -

Tout savoir sur le Luxembourg


and since i sort of have two countries :


Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
