For immigrants, if you are unmixed you can vote your ancestry (example Turks should vote Middle east), if you are mixed (Americans, ect) you can vote your resident country.

Note that ancestry dosnt matter unless you are a un-mixed immigrant in which case i would ask you to vote on the region from where you immigrated..Turks should vote Middle east as an example. if you are mixed you can vote where you live..

Sub-Sahara, this is after all not a Ancestry poll as such, its more a locations post, but i guess you could also vote central Europe if you are Polish/German (if i remember right?), as thats not really a big difference as such, its worse if you are mixed like most Americans are between multiple ethnic groups..

I guess Anatolia falls unders Middle East but Turks usually identify with Anatolia and Anatolia isn't neccesarly considered as Middle Eastern, but rather as an independent region between Balkans, Caucasus and Middle East. I think there should be seperate option named 'Anatolia'.

Iknow Turks like to separate themselves from the Arab countries, but the fact is that Turkey is a middle eastern country (most of it lies in the middle east, with small parts in Balkan and Caucasus), so you should vote middle east..its funny as it seems be to the same problem Greeks have with Balkan :P

Its your choice, but i decided to use Western Europe rather then Northern Europe because i wanted to see how many Nordic people there were here..no problems with being Western European, UK is included in many such regional designations..but in the UN one they use Northern Europe..

How far back are we talking? if you are descendants from unmixed pontid Greeks i guess you can vote Middle east..but this is not rocket science, so dont worry..

PS; i now am convinced Turks are voting central Asia just to be idiots, well the joke is on you, just goes to prove how nutty you guys are :P

Middle East; because for some odd reason (!) Turks want to seperate themselves from Arabs, which is the reason why Anatolia should be considered as part of Middle East because Turks shouldn't seperate themselves from Arabs. So this automatically make Anatolian Greeks part of Middle East aswell according to Evonpedia.

Middle east is not the best geographical designation in the world, but it fits with Turkey, i would not create a category Just for turkey, i did it with Italy because i wanted to separate them from Iberia and Balkans, but really i should have fused Iberia and Italy..big deal, you guys are middle eastern, just like i am Nordic...oh no i have to share a geographical designation with peoples whom are not Norwegian..help somebody call NASA.. seriously.. :picard1:

What differntiates Pontic Greeks from the rest of Anatolian Greeks? If you mean that Pontic Greeks are not Greeks at all, you are wrong. They are Greeks + natives of Pontus, which means something like Greeks + Georgians, so if anything you should include them in Caucasus, not Middle East.
Anyway I'm a Greek from Middle East if that suits your agenda...

Anatolia has been homeland of various nations such as Turks, Greeks, Armenians, Lazs, Georgians etc. which has barely to do with Middle East. I don't have any issues with being called Middle Eastern calm down. I just happen to see Anatolia as seperate region because it's more like a harmony between Caucasus, Middle East and Balkans and geographically is in different position.

Honestly i am not that informed about the origins of Pontid Greeks, i assumed they were Greek from Anatolia, but if you feel they are closer to Georgia then you are probably right..But If you are born in Greece ect you fall within the same clause as i said for immigrants, which i guess would mean you should choose Balkan..its upto you..

Anatolia is like most Border parts of a greater region, the best indicator in me seen Turks as middle eastern rather then say having their own region is because the cultural similarity to the wider Northern parts of the middle east, religious, and culinary ties, and so on...if i had enough polling spots i would have added more sub-regions, but i was in a hurry and so just make one to determine a rough estimate...
