    To those who voted for Boer: they're just a bunch of Dutch emigrants (with a few French and Germans going with them; boer = Dutch for farmer), so feel free to change your vote.
    There are similar Dutch farmer communities in the USA, Russia, Australia and lots of other countries, but the Boer are the only major one to keep their parental language (Afrikaans = a Dutch dialect).

          Locotus, regarding the Ottoman Turks, I’ll try to clarify. (I may end up doing the reverse but I’ll take the risk )
          To start with, Turkey is, as you may know, a direct descendant of the Ottoman Empire. However, the Turks are only one of the many Turkic cultures, including amongst others the Kazaks, the Uzbeks etc
          The Ottomans are in fact a dynasty, named after it’s founder Osman. He united a confederation of Turkic tribes, the Oguz, into the Ottoman Empire, which is commonly and confusingly referred to as “the Turks”.
          So the Ottomans are by definition Turks, the term “Ottoman Turks” is just meant to be precise.

          It’s Ghanaians, not Ghanese...

          And regarding the 7 points I have left: +7 Mongols (giving them a total of 14)

            At first I was going comment as a joke. But if you sit back and think about it, how about the Neanderthalians as our Barbarians?
            I mean it, rename the Barbarians. We now know that they did live with Cro-Magnon man because of the bones that were found two or three years ago.

            BTW Loctus go see the movie its great. Action from the start to the finish. As in an Indy Jones movie.

                    Updated again, up to Bob Dorman this time.

                    Orange,
                    FYI, you have 10 points left.

                    LaRusso,
                    You posted 7 civs without points. I gave them all 20 points, which means you've got 20 points left.

                    Bob Dornan,
                    A bit superfluous to mention maybe but you've got 140 points left.

                    Arator,
                    I'm treating the Israeli and Hebrew as separate civs here, as I explained in my new rules. One could argue that Israeli are a civ that exists since WWII while the Hebrew refers to the civ that lived in Israel millenia ago. One could also see these two as one and the same civ, but if that is so, the name shouldn't matter. In any case, there are more name issues like this (FE Ottoman/Turkish, Ethiopia/Axum, Carthage/Phoenicia, Austro-Hungarians/Hungarians/Magyar) and to avoid any trouble I treat every name as a seperate civ.

                    Ribannah,
                    Yes, but the Boers fought an infamous war against the Brittish (which, let's face it, is also the only reason why the Zulus are in) and also (contrary to Dutch farmers in the US and elsewhere) saw themselves as a independent nation, not as Dutch or English or anything else but as Boer. In any case, everyone can vote for whichever civ (s)he sees fit. If anyone would want to vote for Andorra or Boers or whatever, that's perfectly okay. Whether or not it will actually make a difference in the overall ranking is a different story...

                    Colon,
                    Okay, but as I said above, I'm treating each name as a seperate civ to avoid problems (in case some people might refer to Turks as the modern Turks and to Ottoman as the old empire while others might refer to Turks as all Turkic tribes/empires that ever existed and see Ottoman simply as a synonym of this). Do you want your vote to count as Turkish, Ottoman or Ottoman Turks?

                    Hmm, never even heard of Ghaians but I'll change that...

                    Edit: Colon, the Mongols have 17, not 7, so if you give all your left-over points to the Mongols you would give them 24 points, which is 4 more than allowed, so I can't change anything.

                    Alantus,
                    Maybe I'm just stupid but you could just give twice as many points to the Innuit and not vote for Eskimos at all...
