Apparently Scotland will leave the UK on Free RPG Day, but our rulers at Paizo have let the secret slip before the big day...
Sigh. We're just Americans. They don't teach us no nothing about your crazy Geomography in school. You got all them little countries that durn't even add up as big as Texas! And what the heck do you call them big fishy things over there, if you already done used Whales as a country name?

In the blog entry today, both Scotland and England are listed as other nations holding Free RPG Day events. I think the OP was trying to point out that they are part of the same country. I was personally more shocked to see that Darkmoon Vale contains within it another forest, called Darkmoon Wood. I guess I'll have to roll the d20 just right tomorrow to get myself a copy of this one instead of some 4e WotC crap and see for myself.

OH! LOL. It's like many folks -- both Americans and foreigners -- forget Puerto Rico is part of the U.S.

Well, to be fair, Scotland and England are different countries. The UK just includes them both.
So, the blog did list them correctly. If it had said the UK and Scotland, then that would have been wrong. :)
(Although, the FreeRPGDay website on the other hand, is wrong on its store location page. Edinburgh isn't in England ;) )

Think how we Aussies feel: we have cattle properties (aka "ranches") bigger than Texas let alone a few little countries in Europe.... ;)

Jings! Those Edinburgh lowlanders are practically sassenachs as anywhere south o' Dundee is basically England ;)
Right, back to my haggis hunting...

not quite, Anna Creek Station, the largets ranch in australia is only 23,677 km²... which while large, isn't quite 3.5% the size of Texas (696,241 km²) and is infact smaller then scotland (78,772 km²) :P

Yes! I've been hoping to see this day for decades! England will be so much the richer! ;) :D

Texas, of course, is about 70% the size of Ontario, or half the size of Quebec.
Wheee!!!

Haven't you heard? It's not the size, it's what you do with it.

S'okay. Quebec is only 80% the size of Alaska.

Dude, the population is 1... if the guy who lives there owns a game store, he isn't selling much stock (Although I could see him opening one just to get gaming products at cost... hmmm... of course that begs the question of exactly who he plays with... but maybe he is just a collector, meh)

Touche! (that's French, in case you were wondering, or it would be if I could be bothered to work out the acute accent!)
Actually, it brings to mind a good point. Next time they're holidaying in your country, could you please arrange to detain them there?
Lewy. (Still English, in case you were wondering!) lol!

Consider them shackled and locked in the gaol Lewy :)
Glad Scotland and England can agree on something lol
Black Dow [still Scottish last time I checked!]
Cool, you are now officially my favourite Scottish person (well almost). I now feel much better for planning to journey to your fair Highlands for my hols this summer!
