I seem to recall from "Harlequin" that soemthing like that happens in
Southern Germany too... (You know, the "putsch-pooch really very
funny joke") But I haven't got Germany's HB, so... I was just
wondering what has happened to say, Austria, And most of the eastern
countries.

Where exactly are "Desert Wars" fought? In Africa or... Uh. Well, the
only other major deserts I can think of are either in the middle east
or the Gobi. (as a matter of fact, _what exactly_ are the desert
wars?)

About Japan. We should (if we can) detail HOW can one country with
almost no territory get to be a _real_ world power. Of course, it can
get to be like that through economical slavery, but has it got a
-real- army? (Japan now cannot have an army since it lost WWII)

What about INDIA? India is the classic place that could become a
MAJOR power with the awakening! It's got the people, it has got the
territory, a (now) stable government, a (minor) development in
economics, and of course it's got the magical background!!!

One word: Patagonia. Or: What about polar bases and killer mutant
penguins? :) Maybe you know that the antarctic was splitted evenly
between the major powers. Has it become a differenc country? Is there
people living in the antarctic? Same goes for the Arctic, of course,
except that there are no killer penguins :)

And Fresno.
