    Oh no... prepare yourselves everybody...

    an Argentina vs. Brazil football rivalry thread looms in the horizon!
    Hehe, don't worry. Even though it sounds tempting, I would rather just keep things nice here, since an amazing thing happened in this thread: a coalition of different latinoamerican countries citizens!

    And, of course, such subject would fall out of our present discussions. It sounds tempting, but no (d*mn, that itches! ). Maybe some reserved comments, but we should live for another time.

    The Gauls??? Are you sure you're talking about Civ3?
    Actually, the Gauls ARE in civ3 as Gauls... but they are only ravagin' restless furious random barbarians wearing white underclothes and boots.

      you're right.. it is amazing! We do have differences between our countries, but the defence of our region is work for all of us. This was a good nice thread after all.

          Me? Stay on topic? Perish the thought!

          Just wait 'til the next 'Cup! I can promise you that the teams from CONCACAF will… erm… we will… get spanked really bad. On the plus side, we Americans will probably manage to field even more Elvis impersonators in the stands. If you're not gonna win, you might as well have fun on the way down!

            I was just joking about the football thing. Don't want to start a war.
            I have an idea: How about Provincias Unidas as a civ?
            i don't think that's gonna happen*sigh*

            That's the only reason i watched the american's (or unitedstatitean's ) matchs on the world cups.

                Let's hope a EU-style Latinamerican Union isn't too far off...

                Plus, if the EU has a zillion languages, we can do better with only 2! (well, more if you count the carribean countries)

                But it is the soccer that binds us...

                  i dont think israel should be added, there was influence from the culture but israel was never an empire and was most times part of other empires . its impossible to not find it funny to put israel next to rome,france,america as world-players and you people know it.
                  so stop trying to have your way
                  Celts were never an empire either. They were around lots of places but they were tribes not an empire.
                  Japan had it's empire only in the beginning of the 20th. century.

                  I am willing to settle for a canaanite civ, which incompases the hebrews the phoencians and the other canaanites.

                    Ehem , no one CULTURE produced AFTER Industrial Revolution could be assigned to ANY country, so speak about architects, nobel prizes and other is quite useless except in the case that a very specialized branch of a global movement develop a knowledge that originates a wonder, this is: Tour Eiffel, for example.

                    About araucanos: Great! But not "Chile" and "spanish language", put "Araucaria" and "araucarian". Iraq is a descendant of Babylon, but not Babylon itself!

                      2 languages? What about Quechuan, Aymará and Guaraní? They are official too. Just for me, South America simply enters in the "interesting" category by these languages.

                      And not forget Carib, Arawak, French...

                        Well, don't forget that we did not say that all América Latina speaks only two languages, only that two languages are largely known to almost all latinoamericans - spanish and portuguese. So, THIS fact makes communication easier between all our countries.

                        Just because we did not say it, it does not translate into unknowing something.

                          The name "Chile" is a native word. It came from the the bird called "trih" or "chi" by the mapuches and other tribes. The "spanish language" is an accident of the history. After all the chilean people does not descend totally from the indians but from the mix of natives and europeans that evolve in a new race from the cultural mixture. Anyway the chilean modern state is compossed by 60% pure european descendent (mainly from Germany, Yugoslavia, Croatia, Spain and Italy), 30% mestizos (chilean descedent from spanish + native chileans), and 10% native chileans (more or less).

                          Then I don't understand what you're saying. Chile is proud of the past, the history of the Mapuches/Araucanos and the history of the construction of our own country, but faces the future as a new nation. Anyway I don't see that peruvians want to rebuild the Inca's Empire, or you spanish want to rebuild the Iberican tribes.

                            Look, Africa is full of large history countries with interesting and millenial cultures. Same Asia. I think that we must look to these continents before South America. (except for Quechuans/Incans) Don't worry, your chilean civ sure will appear the day that a Civilization game has 64 or more countries.

                              But you're right, from South America. The Incas would be a great civ.
                              I didn't post a reply of your "nice" first post, but now your're on my list. I hope that Chile could become a greater nation in the future and solve the problems that remains in our country to do that. Anyway is nicer to have a future to write in history than look back to see the former glory.

                                I agree. Africa have great cultural tribes. Also I agree with the idea of put the Incas in the civ game. I will like to include to that list the Mayas and Chibchas from Colombia.
                                And sure, Chile will appear when a civ game have more than 100 countries.. you don't have to edit that as you did with that paragraph when you said that an american person in Spain would be a "poor inmigrant to mantain".
