But... but... but Spain is only the state in which my nation (Catalonia) is associated (as stated in L'Estatut d'autogovern de Catalunya approved by both the Catalan Government and the Spanish one in 1977).

There could be nothing but an Irish Flag against my name as I battle my way through the Rain Forrest of Brazil. I could certainly understand if some of the Poofland Llamas changed their Nationality for two reasons.
1.As a Pooflander your Reputation may be artificially enhanced.
2.Don’t all pooflanders wish they were born in nicer countries? Like Ireland Scotland and dare I say even Wales

| Don't be too sure though. There have been countries in which your passport did not necessarily include the nationality of the real nation you lived in.
For example, in Yugoslavia (while it existed), there was a time when Croatians had Croatian in their passports, although Croatia didn't exist as an independent state.
Also, in Germany, the passport says "German", and not Idiot. Oh well.

And it's more Country of Birth than Nationality to be frank.

No problem, apologies taken.
Regarding the [stupid] question, I tend to use the nationality of the country I start managing in.

| Not quite right Ollie. Yugoslavia was a federation. The thing that was written in your passport was your nationality as per republic you were born in. But I distinctly remember that it said Yugoslavian somewhere as well.
Spain is not a federation. Or at least it hasn't been the last time I have checked.

You're right, kov. We aren't a federation, but neither a single nation. Spain is a state conformed by the diferent nations in the territory.
It sounds weird, I know (specially to USofAmericans), but that's the formula they chose to appease the basques and the catalans.
