You see,I always took a prairie to be tree free, sort of open fields. I'm trying to remember the setting for Little House on the Prairie from sooooo long ago
So a prairie can be forest can it?

How old is this church - doesn't look that old to me

Haha, I didn't do a great job explaining what I meant I mean like, that "a beautiful wood" could mean, a beautiful ebony or rosewood, or something like that... Sorry 'bout that... I'm having trouble with words today.

My guess is it's one of the cathedrals in Quebec or Montreal. That should be fairly easy to look up. I would but I'm at work.
If it's French it's got to be Roman Catholic.
If it was built in 1926 it's certainly not one of the oldest churches in the Americas. In Latin America and even in Florida there are churches which date back to the 16th century. Heck, the church I go to was built in 1840.

Ohh good point...rephrase that: churches have been built on this site since colonisation began in the New World (all dedicated to the same patron(ess))
Hmmm..... Obviously it's not American or British. Could be somethiong Dutch or Swiss? If so one could argue the point over "one of the world's oldest continually operating democracies". Switzerland became a French puppet state from 1798 to 1815. Monarchy was imposed upon the Dutch in 1815, then in 1848 popular revolt forced the adoption of a new constitution.
Is it an independent national government, and is the building the seat of the executive or the legislative branch?

I don't know--ask the article cited by Wikipedia (a report from the Canberra Times)...it's not the oldest democracy, but fourth-oldest continually existing democracy.
