You bastard!  Like we don't already have enough of them too!
Well, with enough groveling, His Grayness may be persuaded to ship them to Greenland in stead.  :D

That's better, tho with my bad knees I'll just have to bow a lot instead of grovel.  I'm sure Greenland can handle a few extra crazies, aren't they the ones who recognize Odinism as an official religion, or is that Iceland?

Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, though it is an autonomous country. Ásatrú is recognized by a few countries; Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Spain that I know of.

OK, all the others I understand, but Spain?  How many worhippers of Odin can Spain possibly have?

Heh, according to the Wikipedia page about them, "The community bases its ideology on the Visigothic heritage of modern Spain and Occitania . . ."  There were "over 400" members as of 2008 according to an article written about them that year (it's in Spanish). That article mentions that the Spanish Ásatrúar were planning on forming a federation with the Sociedad Antigua de Kelt.
