Ah, I see the confusion. Did not the US also assist in NLs liberation? Or are you saying that Canada did it all by themselves? See, even you wrap-up the US and Canada in one basket (when talking about history).

Sorry, couldn't resist.

By the way, beautiful pictures of Voxtavia Beta!

Part II

7. The explorers and settlers continue on their way, in all directions, searching for the elusive source of water that will bring vitality to a re-born civilization. Alas, is it only a dream??

(in reality - Takkakaw falls in Yoho National Park. The highest waterfall in Canada, and as spectacular as it looks.)

[Beta]

8. And what do the Voxian explorers find? Rock and more rock. Mountains and more mountains. But undaunted, they press on.

(in reality - a view back towards Lake Louise taken from the plain of the six glaciers. Chateau Lake Louise is at the far end of the lake, and you can see the ski resort on the far mountain. The gravelly stuff is actual lateral moraines laid down by the retreating Victoria Glacier.)

[Beta]

9. Meanwhile, back in the New Voice, builders are putting the finishing touches on the Palace of the One.

(in reality - yes - you all recognize it. Some picture I snagged from someone's posted pics on the internet. I have some great ones taken in 2000, but unfortunately, not digital.)

[Beta]

10. And the scientists are working on a new secret weapon to ultimately counter Stormian Chickens.

"I give to the Voxian armed forces, The Voxian Bear. It will eat Chicken and Stormian Pikemen alike."

" Ah, Doctor StrangeVox, we are now at peace with the Stormians. OK? And viewers, please ignore the invasion plans in the background. They are nothing. Really."

(in reality - a display of a radio-collared bear who eventually had to be put down as he had become addicted to raiding garbage cans in civilized areas of Banff National Park. The arrows on the map represent his numerous, and quite distant relocations each time he was recaptured. .... I hope Vox's game is not destined to be like this. )

[Beta]

11. And out on the settler trail - you guessed it - more mountains. The explorers are awestruck by the scenery - the settlers long for grasslands and plains.

(in reality - Emerald Glacier in the President Range of Yoho National Park. This was on the one guided hike we we went on; to the Burgess Shale paleontology site - more on this later.)

[Beta]

12. And then we saw them. And we were terrified. It is a good thing that Voxian scientists are developing a secret weapon, because if these creatures are indigenous to this new land, how long will it be before MrWhereItsAt invades to claim his spoils.....

(in reality - mountain goats beside the Trans Canada Highway)

[Beta]

...to be continued...

[rendelnep]

Well I bet Voxatavia is just like alaska, full of resources and all of Legoland is gonna go 'bugger!!!'

[Beta]

Well, the truth of the matter is that Legos Minor was already fully explored by Lego before we got there. They already knew what they were granting us and we knew what we were getting.

But since that ruins the story about the intrepid Voxian explorers, we'll just conveniently ignore that bit of history. OK.

Those mountains are in CANADA alas, there’s no white to make a flag. You need to go to CANADA instead. Hmmph, we liberated you in the War and sixty years later you confuse us with the Yanks...

I meant the continent of North America and Canada is included in it. No need to be angry.
