    Crap. Hockey games have caused more destruction than any war we've ever fought.

      But not as much destruction as English Soccer Hooligans...
      Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.

              AS,

              Germany and Japan are economically powerful (well Germany was before its economy has become tied into the EU), but they lack the military forces (and natural resources, despite their technological manufacturing) to be influential.
              Actually Japan has the world's second largest military budget despite spending only 1% of their GDP on defense, and Germany has the most powerful military (arguably) in Europe.

                And they are economically AND industrially powerful (Eastern Europe mostly used Deutche Marks up until the Euro showed up)... hmm maybe an update to Civ3 is neccessary in near future...

                  That's because Canada doesn't need to blow it's money on a large military. It doesn't have a large, agressive country next to it that outweighs it in population 10-to....

                  Oh wait, damn.

                  Point is, The Aussies never had 10% of it's armed might held hostage by a disgruntled shipping company. That is all.

                        Finland without a doubt! I can prove it too.
                        When i was doing my manditory one year service, they told me we're the toughest. So it must be!

                        Well maybe not overtaking countries and attacking, but defending, now come on! Try us! -making wwf faces and tries to look tough-

                          The only area where Russia has us beat is military. apart from that, they're nowhere more powerful and influential than us. And if you guys gave us our property in Central Europe back (quiet, Poles!), we'd rule

                              Who controls the Apolyton controls the ?, who controls the ? controls the world, and Finns control the Apolyton, so we must control the world.
