    Even though nobody has territory even remotely close, we all still send over an absurd amount of troops and supplies in order to capture it out of some strange ideology.

    A nice metaphor for early 19th century imperialism in Africa. :P

  • You are correct.

    So I'm thinking of having someone like Crush take Miri's place in a new story, but in a different way.

  • I suppose I shall just have to lay claim to either Northern Europe or Japan.  I can't decide which yet...

    I think we could.  It might also be fun to set it near-WWI tech level.  I don't think we have many RPs with that tech level at present.  Wintrean Union is essentially postmodern tech, right? 

    But I'd be fine with pretty much any tech level between 1800 and 2100

  • It's certainly a change of scenery, considering that most RPs we have are Modern/Future.
