A joke from the old country

A joke from the old country:

Two men are sitting at a bar. The first asks, "Where are you from?"

"I was born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire," says the second, "educated in Czechoslovakia, started my working life in Hungary, did a stint in Nazi Germany, then got married, had kids and raised my family in the Soviet Union."

The first man shakes his head. "You must have travelled a great deal."

"In fact," says the second. "I never left my village."
