Based on their recent signing of the Association Agreement, can anyone predict how long it will/would take before Moldova and/or Georgia could become member states of the EU?


It may be obvious, but for Moldova becoming the member state may be suboptimal. It would be better to fuse it with Romania.

Let's try placing US states on the map!


For my defence I've never looked into administational map of USA. I have only knowledge derived from American films. I'm pretty sure there is nothing interesting in Delaware or the states adherent to it. Whatever they may be.

What is one Documentary that everyone should watch and why?


The Ascent of Man - insight into briliant mind of Jacob Bronowski. In the series of essays Mr Bronowski explores his understanding of human mind in nearly poetic show we found connection of chemistry, physics, anthropology, history, drama, and art. He shows us tens of countries, about 40 during span of entire series, but manages to stay intimate thus inviting to his own home seems natural.

Is British the most nationalistic european culture?


Close enough, but no. In 2009 Pew survey 7% of British identified themselves as Europeans, while only 4% of Russians and Hungarians (glorious mongoloid race).
Russia looks today as the definition of nationalistic society. It's big country and in effect more visible. In this survey Bulgarians and Hungarians more often than Russians agree that “there are parts of neighboring countries that really belong to us”, while there is higher percentage of Italians unfavorable towards muslims than Russians.
The opinions could have changed since then and this is incomplete. Serbia may has the most nationalistic culture.
