the world development with a fair amount of interest.... I'm wondering if
there is an underlying common theme behind the way you've warped or mutated
the world (besides the return of magic).
From the look of it you taken the political sitution of most
countries/nations/continents and set them back to how they were about
100-300 years ago. Because this is on the list I'm going to provide
examples.
America - Think; the civil war... north vs. south, etc.
Russia - Balkanised, pre USSR style
Germany - Balkanisation... Think of the city states before the
unification by Bismarck
Arfica - The Zulu nation
Australia - Untamed (untamable) wilderness, no settlement
expect by indigines
England - Industrialised nightmare, with a totalitarian regime.
(And I'm sure there are more)
Of course, the analysis breaks down if you look at it really closely, but
it seems that that's the common theme.... Just wondering if it's
deliberate or not.
If it is deliberate, then it raises all kinds of possibilities for
recurring patterns in world development. Should we expect some kind of
war to break out between CAS and UCAS?
Also, can some of the Americans on the list tell me which president it
was that got assasinated (not JFK) by the guy with the hold-out pistol?
It was some time ago.
I'm thinking of parralels to Dunkelzahn here..... but of course I could
be way off on a tangent.
....And they say that those who do not know their history are condemned to
repeat it....
