We also need Portugal, mainly because they colonized Spain.

Portugal colonized Spain?? What do you mean??? In fact, Portugal was a "condado" (I really don't know how to say it in english! ) of Castilla in the first years of the "reconquista".

I meant Brazil!

condado = county
reconquista = reconquest (I think )


Werna, in the 1950's a lawyer from Talca has registrated the moon has a personal property. In those years Marsian and Venusian soil were sale on really funny ad prints un the newspapers across the world. For "some" money, you got an official "owners land" certificate, and in that moment, no one has claim for his own the moon, so this guy (I believe his name was Antonio Mackenna) did it.
But that's not all, in 1969 and do that the legal owner of the moon was Mackenna, the president Nixon send a letter asking for authorisation to land in his property for "peaceful and cientific purposes" its true!!! Of course it was only a formality to avoid any legal problem. Anyway, Mackenna authorise him and he became famous.

He died in 1994 or 95, in his testament he leave the property of the moon to: "all the chileans and people of good hearts from the whole wide world, to remember that foolish dreams can become a reallity only if you keep your faith". Nice, right?

Is funny, but truth... of course in the 70's a resolution of the UN has said that the moon has no owner but all the humans.... anyway, Chile own the moon

ah, sobre el dicho "Talca, Paris y Londres", ocurrió porqué un británico que se encontraba en Talca una noche, comentando la gran cantidad de niebla dijo: "Talca parece Londres"... pero con un asento chistoso que hizo que la persona que tenÃa al lado pensara que habÃa dicho: "Talca, Paris y Londres"

Anyway, "Talca, Paris y Londres" put that small town in a place of honor

I meant to say that the Portuguese colonized Brazil. It started with a dispute between Portugal and Spain over colonization of the newly discovered "New World." Both Catholic nations, they went to the Pope to solve the problem. The Pope drew a line on the map, and everything east of the line went to Portugal, everything west to Spain. It was a straight line, with only a small part of what is now Brazil going to Portugal, but Portugal's territory eventually grew to include most of the Amazon Basin, which makes up a great deal of modern-day Brazil.
This is why most Brazilians speak Portuguese (and some English and a lot of German, but I have no idea how that happened, at least the German part), and the rest of South and Central America (for the most part) speaks Spanish.

Fair enough, in 50 years or so when Firaxis and Sons publishes Civ5 and Chile still looks to be a dominant force in SA. Obviously you cannot seriously include a country just cause its had a good DECADE, otherwise Caqnada would be in there twice

hey ... but you're right

Argentina had wonderful decades, Chile since the 80's is in a really good position, and Brazil.. well they have issues to solve, but they also have the biggest market in the region.

As I said before, the only SA civ at this point should be the Incas. But that's good, is a challenge for the modern SA states.. beat those crapy incas! hehe

BTW, Canada should be in a Civ game... maybe as a commonwealth with the Australians or other weird mix..

[Yanghead]

Yeah, but India used to be a part of the commonwealth. And why is Gandi so aggressive, I mean this is the man who ended the Raj with PASSIVE resistance.

[JCG]

The only South American nation worthy of being in Civ would be Brazil, if any.

The rest is just made up of different levels of Hell and their corresponding sins, a la Dante....

EDIT: It's an analogy, so don't take it literally.
