WHY WON'T YOU RECOGNIZE ME CHINA :(

...actually now that I look at it the chinese wikipedia article for sealand has a gold star for some reason. so you love me after all!!

made_in_me January 23 2009, 22:29:33 UTC

"Sealand" wasn't in my dictionary :(

... also, that article is written in traditional Chinese, so it's probably actually Taiwan that loves you :x

I am only lowly first-year chinese student, I can't tell these things :( well Taiwan's my friend now 8|

Does 'goa' mean 'land' or some such? It seems like the majority of those were ___goa. Assuming I'm romanizing that right.

It's "guo," I think, and yes it does.

Yup, it's "guo" and it means country. I dunno why some country names get the word "country" in it, and why some are based on how they sound.
