Third planet after the Sun. My country is the globe!
I'm from Paraná [inb4 "Banana"], Brazil. It's like Romania: similar shape, and also inhabited by a bunch of Latins that people insistently call Poles, but instead of wolves attacking tourists we got tourists trying to hug capybaras.
Let's be clear, here: you can't hug the capybaras? It'll be hard, but I can cope with that over time.
Can you sit in an "Adirondack" style chair on a dock as the sun goes down and smoke some bonkers weed with one and watch the day die? Because I kinda feel if no one was around they'd speak up and reveal some crazy poignant fact and change my life.
I may hug one after that. Or before. I'm gonna lose an ear, aren't I?
At least in theory you could hug a one; they aren't aggressive. You wouldn't lose an ear. But tourists are loud so the 'baras feel like being hunted, and once you get close they run into the water. (It's fun to watch this in parks.)
And even if you do manage to get close... they're wild animals, so full of ticks and fleas. It's a bit unwise to pet them.

I'm not even sure if there are 'baras in the coast, since they're a freshwater animal.
Hm. I'll have to re-think it.
Tourist captured after leaping into Capybara enclosure, found with an unreal amount of bonkers weed. "I didn't know they housed them with the small alligators!" he was heard to say while the police tried to restrain and remove his ample, pasty-white frame.
I've got no good luck!
I'm from the US, I live in France right now. I miss my home, but I fear that there will be no home to return to.
Where in France are you? 👋
I am currently in the Pays de Gex, close to the Jura mountains, it's a really beautiful area
sigh I am legally required to inform you that i was born in the state of Texas, USA...
Condolences. Keep changing where you can.
Originally Ohio, now the American Southwest (I won't be more specific than that).
Left Ohio a decade ago, never going back that place is terrible. There's like, no sunlight, gives ya the SADs (seasonal affective disorder) real bad in winter. Life in the desert is nice, basically infinite hiking. I do a different trail every week, usually around 5 miles or so. I've got a big 13 mile loop planned with some friends soon, I'm excited.
I'm from Canada, and they think I'm slow, eh?
Dude, just because you're the last one to see the sun go down, just means you're in Ucluelet and you're right where you want to be.
That ain't slow. That's "well placed" or also "well paced."
Carry on, pace-setter. Show us how to be.
This was a delightful response to a reflex Simpsons joke. Beautiful, man!
Oh is it because I’m brown? Huh? I don’t ask you what country you’re from!
Currently Vermont, although I'm not there at the moment.
From Norway. Lived in a handful of countries the last decade or so. Probably going back to Norway this summer. Always a bigger culture shock than going abroad.

The pond is the Atlantic Ocean.
You're in the Atlantic Ocean.

Kiribati, Ohio
Sorry but did you just answer a question about country with everything but country, or is Ohio a city in (on?) Kiribati?
Kiribati is a country in Micronesia. Maybe they mean Kiribati originally, but Ohio right now?
I'd guess a lot of Americans would say a state first, especially now. Probably don't feel as attached to the country as their state.
