I promise I was guessing. I thought if the quote wasn't said by a politician, it had been said by an artist/philosopher, then after searching for info about Sartre and Picasso(*), it came the Camus' turn and I found he was born in Alger and... Camus, auteur de vingt ans: un jeune esthète apprenti-philosophe imprégné d'idéologie méditerranéenne... you know the rest

(*) I tried Picasso just in case frenchman were a tricky hint

quote: Originally posted by kIndal on 03-08-2001 02:13 AM Is a king a politician???

Well, I'd say yes He was not a king, a prince, a prime minister, a major... Nothing like that. Another hint: he lived in the XX century.

Louis XIV? when he had the dream of making one kingdom with France and Spain(with Italy) if Philip V got the Spanish crown in the War of Sucession. Is a king a politician???

Don't know, the company's name is Frog City (SSI seems to have something to do whit it too), the map I was talking about is supposedly from 1882...
It's a great game, but I allways had doubts about Catalonia beeing a minor nation in itself, usually they ended up beeing occupied by Frabnce while "Spain" became an English "Colony" (that means vassal in this case). Portugal usually became Englis too, playing as german I conquered and annexed the entire map but Russia once, but that is another story...

The three countries that according to this guy form one only nation are France, Italy and Spain (the Western Roman Empire, remember? . Another hint: the guy who said this was a Frenchman (and it's not Napoleon)


(PS. Note for purists: At the time of the Romans, Portugal was part of Hispania/Spain)

You bet!

I don't even understand the formula:
2 countries + spain = 1 nation

[Fiera]

Hmm... a very interesting quote. But hard to guess, I'd say... I'll have to give it a thought...

[Jay Bee]

Okay, here is a new one. Nothing to do with the Habsburgs:

"I hope my work has contributed, if only minimally, to help bring down that stupid barrier that separates two countries which, along with Spain form one only nation ".
