What do you think about Portugal?
Note: Portugal = 1 country + 2 archipelagos (group of islands) (Azores [
I'm from here] and Madeira).More info:
Portugal (country): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portugal & Archipelago of Azores, where I'm from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azores Archipelago of Madeira: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madeira São Miguel Island, one of the 9 Azorean islands, actually the biggest one. I'm from here :P: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A3o_Miguel_IslandTrivia
"Madeira" in English means "wood".
"Azores" (in Portuguese: Açores) are a type of bird. The explorers found it flying over our 9 islands and that's why they called our archipelago like that.
