Good idea!
Many of the questions were USA-centric, assuming people grew up with some religion or political climate common in the US. I didn't get indoctrinated to republicans or democrats, I got indoctrinated to environmentalism, and there's just no way to map that onto American politics where it's an issue rather than a faction. And it might in some ways be the closest match on the religion question as well, being a question of fact that I later had to try to de-bias myself on.
Amusingly, Yvain is not American. Though he probably absorbed US culture anyway.
I'm pretty sure Yvain is American, just studying abroad.
Uh, you're right. I had him as Irish moving to the US, rather than the other way around.
