Ya know, we've got this nice convenient "Like" button these days... Pressing it seems a little... off... in this context. heh.

Aircraft are great, but for germany, carriers are a waste. Land bases are flat out Better when in range of the target, and until they're rid of the british fleet and actually Have an empire outside of europe, everything they can get at at all is within range of land based aircraft. Basically...

Gerry Brownlee? Really?:eek: Eeeesh. ... ya know, i have problems with MMP as currently implimented in NZ, but this timeline nicely shows why i'm Very glad we got rid of FPP! (To be fair, this is because i'm of the opinion that the national party as an entity needs to go die in a fire, and...

Running the numbers, the majority in the election at the end there is 4, not five. Ahh, linguistics.... Always fun to play around with :D And nonsense political shinanigans evidencing once again why i dislike representative democracy and Hate the party system. (Not that i don't...

I just meant the list, rather than the wiki as a whole. I seem to remember, last time i really looked, it being like most wikis: a pain in the arse to navigate, vissually cluttered, and not terribly helpful if you don't know exactly what you're looking for in the first place (though admittedly...

Yes, yes i can. Now that i know it's a thing and such.

Don't suppose we could get a link list for those? I don't fancy trying to hunt them down on my tablet based on that list alone. Mark me down as another one who basically only visits the site for LttW. Email updates are good that way. Or bad, depending on how you look at it.

I don't know, New Zealand's pretty keen on it's monarchy, all told, but trust in the government? yeeeeeeeeeeah, no. about the only parts trusted to be honest and compitent are the judges and Maybe the tax-men. and even then only when the politicians aren't actively fiddling. if anything...

hence why they were known as 'chinese gooseberries' before NZ started growing and exporting so many. NZ's export dependency is largely the legacy of imperial economics meaning that only what it wasn't practical to ship in was produced here (the British empire was set up so that Britain proper...

that's pretty much what they Do. hehe. IOTL they did similar things in many cases, regularly using Pa to defeat British/government regular troops. after all, a fort near your trade rout or line of supply is a threat. so... the maori got to the point where they could build one in anywhere from...

Personally, i'd like to see more of the Mauré, myself. It may not be New Zealand, as such, but *shrugs* In OTL they came very close to getting off the ground economically and developing rapidly in their own right, only for Australia (their mane export market and source of new stuff at the...

"In addition, this event bought the religious and ethnic settlement law into effect." clever. "It was also due to this event, that all foreign immigrants to Japan were required to take a Japanese given name" logical and understandable, at least, if not likely to have a huge effect. "and that all...

... the Chinese ruling elite's attitude towards other realms often bordered on the nonsensical during the days of Europe's colonial empires, it seems. (i say bordered on in that it made Sense... given a set of basic assumptions that seem rather moronic to the well informed) ... I'm really not...

hummm. interesting. Japan is unified, but there are functionally two japans... and assuming a lack of stupid, Nagamasa's is probably going to end up a lot better off. (though, amusingly, if the east peruses a policy of isolation from the world outside japan, and the west doesn't, then the...

yeah, i got your point. i was more responding to tonsofun's explanation of how that error came about. as for English: actually, it's biggest problem is that it's system was first codified/formalised/whatever by Dutch printers, who considered keeping the lines even as important as representing...
