South Africa. Might be eligible for UK citizenship though thanks to a recent-ish change that allows maternal ancestry (how progressive of them), just need the funds to get that ball rolling. And I missed out on Dutch citizenship because my father had to be the only one of his siblings born in South Africa and not the Netherlands.
Third planet after the Sun. My country is the globe!
I'm from Paraná [inb4 "Banana"], Brazil. It's like Romania: similar shape, and also inhabited by a bunch of Latins that people insistently call Poles, but instead of wolves attacking tourists we got tourists trying to hug capybaras.
Let's be clear, here: you can't hug the capybaras? It'll be hard, but I can cope with that over time.
Can you sit in an "Adirondack" style chair on a dock as the sun goes down and smoke some bonkers weed with one and watch the day die? Because I kinda feel if no one was around they'd speak up and reveal some crazy poignant fact and change my life.
I may hug one after that. Or before. I'm gonna lose an ear, aren't I?
At least in theory you could hug a one; they aren't aggressive. You wouldn't lose an ear. But tourists are loud so the 'baras feel like being hunted, and once you get close they run into the water. (It's fun to watch this in parks.)
And even if you do manage to get close... they're wild animals, so full of ticks and fleas. It's a bit unwise to pet them.

I'm not even sure if there are 'baras in the coast, since they're a freshwater animal.

The deep south.
We our own brand o' country up in hyuh.
sigh I am legally required to inform you that i was born in the state of Texas, USA...
Condolences. Keep changing where you can.
Originally Ohio, now the American Southwest (I won't be more specific than that).
Left Ohio a decade ago, never going back that place is terrible. There's like, no sunlight, gives ya the SADs (seasonal affective disorder) real bad in winter. Life in the desert is nice, basically infinite hiking. I do a different trail every week, usually around 5 miles or so. I've got a big 13 mile loop planned with some friends soon, I'm excited.
I'm from Canada, and they think I'm slow, eh?
Dude, just because you're the last one to see the sun go down, just means you're in Ucluelet and you're right where you want to be.
That ain't slow. That's "well placed" or also "well paced."
Carry on, pace-setter. Show us how to be.
This was a delightful response to a reflex Simpsons joke. Beautiful, man!
Oh is it because I’m brown? Huh? I don’t ask you what country you’re from!
Currently Vermont, although I'm not there at the moment.
