Hi Mary...

No Tasman, No XXXX or VB...(i don't even know what it means...)

You are right in one thing...both me and Magical come from the same place (10-15 years later, but still the same small country...)

Let me help you -

It's a small country that makes a lot of noise around the world...
Some people like it, more people hate it, but no one can ignore it...

Most of the people around the world know it only from CNN or BBC...and like/dislike it according to the "facts" shown on TV

That's it...if i tell you more it will not be a fair game...

You're an Isreali?

Bingo...

I was born in Israel for an Israeli father and Doutch mother...

A small country, people only see it on TV?
Wyoming! You're from Wyoming.

Afganistan ? Or one of the(ex-Soviet Union) republics with a name also ending with .. tan?

Never mind. We got the answer.
