while my country hasnt been specifically named yet, i am a little bummed to say that im afraid the city is actually smaller than i orginally thought.. which is probably making this a lot harder than i originally intended.. so....... how about everyone take one more guess and if no one finds/stumbles upon it, ill go ahead and reveal the location + explaination of the clues..... ... and then give myself some negative karma points, lol..   :-\

...and by small, im talking about 50km range on google maps to see it, dunno what i was thinking, except maybe that the city name was a fun one.

cissie forgive me for prematurely giving away the answer here, but i think its best i give it away before i give anyone else a headache..

tex, im sure you're going to be annoyed with this, so sorry ;)




answer:    Swearshoek, South Africa


city:
potty mouth = swear
sneaker = shoe
ceases with potassium = ends with "k"

country:
the confederacy = south
this country of its continent = (south) africa = same continent

extra clues for the country:
no reciprocal or corresponding nation = there is no "North Africa" country...  (North/South)
the pacific isnt one of the oceans that touch my country, or my continent = there are 3 oceans that touch South Africa, more for the entire continent
Ghandi became a little passive when visiting my country =  Ghandi developed his "passive resistance" philosophy while in South Africa
in 3 years, be sure to turn on your television (june - july) = FIFA World Cup 2010 will be hosted in South Africa.. from June to July
a clue from the last puzzle has a connection with this one.  = South Africa is known as the "Rainbow Nation"..  ie Rainbow Boa...
"ps, no football fans around, eh??" -- *huge* soccer clue to give away the country.. well, just trying to make the World Cup reference clearer..


oh well..
i'm awarding 2 karma points to texasboy for his relentless efforts and 1 to everyone else who answered...

sorry guys, :)


ps, if you want to see it on Google Maps, zoom in between Somerset East and Cradock..

 ;D That was actually an excellent puzzle chip. All the right clues were there. At least I got the "hoek" right.lol
Should have picked on the football 2010, and gone on from there.

Thats alright Chip, i would have still been around Korea or Asia somewhere.. That one was tough... your a hard teacher setting tasks like that, however it allowed us to see how your brain ticks with clues.. mmmmmmmm...

I will give you a karma point for frustrating Tex however congrats Tex on getting the country at least right..  :(

remark.. some "boddies"  i think you two have something going on here.. perhaps its not fishy.. perhaps we smell a rat..  :o ::) ;D
