Silly Americans, thinking everything should end in -an because they do.

China --> Chinese, Not Chinans
U.K --> British, not Englandans or United Kingdomans
Germany --> Germans, not Germanans
Spain --> Spaniards, not Spainans
Scotland --> Scots, not Scotlandans
New Zealand --> Well, I'm not really sure. Kiwis? Definitely not New Zealandans.

Canada --> Canadians. Also, in French, referred to as Canadiennes.

Im an Aussie; The people of Australia are Australians. See the resemblance? Except we are Australia not Australa

Also, the people of New Zealand are either New Zealanders or Kiwi's
Germany is just a contraction with ans on the end. And I knew all this already.... But Canada is a special case.

They are always at the top of the list and have been getting all the attention for the last decade.
Well of course the Afghans are always going to be on top. If they weren't, you'd just be sitting on them and that wouldn't work as well for keeping you warm.
