Wouldn't you qualify as North America?
On another note, it's kinda funny that the site for EU patents uses pics
of the statue of liberty...

The statue was designed and made in France as a gift to the US. It was assembled in France for a world fair for exhibition and fund raising purposes. The group involved had many problems funding the project in France as well as in the US. It was not until a New York paper picked up the banner and started publishing a series of articles on the statue that the funds were raised, literally shaming the US into action. The word donation leaves an impression of either used or leftover.
That was very interesting. I did not know that was the case.
I did not know it was nearly a non runner.
I thoght I read somewhere that it was originally a gift by the French Government, but that obviously was not the case.
However I refer to a smaller statue , which I am sure I have seen, that still exists today in Paris, somewhere on the river bank , cannot remember where , though.
