Re: What do you associate England with?
Hold on - can you imagine starting a game called What do you associate Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland/Cornwall with? and someone asking for it to be changed to UK because they are "uncomfortable" with the theme?
The United Kingdom of Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) and Northern Ireland is a political entity which is only 100 years old.
England is one of the worlds oldest nation states, dating from the crowning of Athelstan in 925 and the Battle of Brunanburh in 937
https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/H ... runanburh/
Some of the best English people have a peculiar self-loathing, rather than pride, in their own country. I'm reminded of the quote by George Orwell "It is a strange fact, but it is unquestionably true that almost any English intellectual would feel more ashamed of standing to attention during 'God save the King' than of stealing from a poor box."
What about countries where other forumites are from?
How about choosing a different country as a theme, worldwide, each month throughout 2022?
