I concur.

Though I think that if a person in a high place in a government is getting paid a lot. He's going to want more...and more...and so on and so forth.

But, I quess that's where the anti-corruption commitee comes in.

EDIT: W00t. First person to post on this page.

Yes, that's what I was thinking.

Yes, but it needs to be cracked down upon. It will always exist, but high level corruption should be very minimal. Pay politicians and senior civil servants well, and introduce a powerful anti-corruption committee.

I kinda like the Cromwell method personally.

Are we really talking about what we're talking about?

Or are we speaking in code?

I don't really know, I have Asperger's so I can't really tell. I'm just going with the flow.

Something like that. Would it have been cool if America produced a larger navy during the Revolution and took the war to England too? Britain might have become an American state. Not sure how well that would work out though. America might have entered WW2 sooner though, rather than sitting back in our lawn chairs till the last minute?

"What if" scenarios are cool. I wonder what would've happened if the Holy Roman Empire (Germany) conqured Europe in the Medival times?

The reason I ask that is because I conquered Europe in Medival: Total War 1 a few years back. I could never completely conquer the Papacy though. They'd always come back.

Yep, they were. Sure, I'd install a pope once I took over the Papacy, but the old Pope would leave and soon come back with an army and I'd always have to leave those two provinces. Then I'd take them back. And the cycle would start over again.
