I wonder how the Sápmi people could have a national football team, when they don't have a nation (and don't belong to the United Kingdom). 惑乱分からん 18:27, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since none of them are situated in the United Kingdom, I fail to see how that is a problem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.209.8.237 (talk) 18:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(The part about UK was a joke, referring to that UK has four different football teams.) 惑乱分からん 15:44, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They have a nation, but they don't have a country. Even though nation and country are often used interchangeably, they are not neccessarily the same. To put it in a mathematical context,

\mathrm {n} \mathrm {a} \mathrm {t} \mathrm {i} \mathrm {o} \mathrm {n} \simeq \mathrm {c} \mathrm {o} \mathrm {u} \mathrm {n} \mathrm {t} \mathrm {r} \mathrm {y}

Name?[edit]

Is the name of this people 'Sami' or 'Sapmi'? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.145.241.161 (talk) 12:22, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sápmi is the name of the cultural region traditionally inhabited by the Sámi people —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.213.149.65 (talk) 22:44, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
