Sure have been a lot of 'crazy Asian wars', eh?

Considering that Asia is almost 1/3 of the planets land mass and 60% of it's people it's more than you'd think; Iraq and Afganistan are in Asia too. Asians have conquered all of the world worth conquering more than once.

Austria, Germany, Italy, France, Spain , Great Britain? North and South America? Once, no! Twice at least you say? Africa and Australia too? Whom do I sue? Cause I seemed to have missed some important history.

During such conquests those parts of the world were not particularly worth conquering, so they just raided them a lot for the most part. Actually conquering those parts would have been an unprofitable venture, or at the very least, less profitable than conquering parts they actually conquered.

Now, on the transhumanist side, there is a gadget that, beside fixing a disability, provides some new features (like the visual spam filter):

I think I get what you are saying. Let me rephrase it to see if I do.

"Asia managed to conquer all of Asia" and according to budgenator.. "several times". The important parts at least.

That sum it up?
