Are we covering 192 countries?

Number 3: INDIA though I don't consider my country in other FIRST place, if we are to see this number as a RANK and PLACE. I will not add anything more now, as I might be missing the third place. And, Jules, this is a very good idea to start talking about one's own country, and to learn about others too.

Hello Jules, Thanks for creating such discussion like this. I love Great Britain and I've been researching and following the lives of the British royal family for 12 years now, preferably because I am fascinated with their existence. Number 1: Philippines (this is my country)--my mother land is popularly known as Pearl of the Orient Sea because of our strategic position in the Pacific Ocean. My country is composed of more than 7,000 islands and islets and divided into three large islands: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao (I came from Mindanao), the latter being the largest. Our common problem is corruption, two of the country's President had shamefully put the country into one of the most corrupt nations in the world, but we are hoping this image will change after electing new set of national leaders this coming May 10, 2010 (hopefully). Another problem is unemployment because of lack of job opportunities. But on the bright side, my country is endowed with rich mineral resources and fine beaches. Our number one means of living here is agriculture. Our beaches are world class, some of these can even be compared to Hawaiian beaches or Caribbean beaches. We have a very simple lifestyle and people in the provinces are contented and happy with their lives as long as family is intact and healthy. We are predominantly Catholic and strictly observed feast of saints, days of obligations and solemnities in the Catholic faith.

Well i'm from India I believe it is a great place. This country is pretty social with everybody. Most people will know about everybody. It is kind of hard traveling around because of the high population. The food there is really great.
