Italy and spain have similar dishes? I guess some of the basic seafood stuff that's universal arround the medditeranean, but the cultural dishes of each nation are radically different. The spaniards have more rice based dishes whereas the italians utilise pastas for their startches. Also, there are fundemental differences in culture, such as music and literature. Are they similar, yes, but I would not portray them to be as similar as you make them out to be. Just a clarification, I know I'm looking way to much into this. --- VH16

does anyone think it's wierd that the languages died with sol yet the accents live on? And wtf is with Hispaña not being able to afford a fricken ñ and so it uses an "nia"? Why does the heratage live on yet the cultures die? --- VH16

Actually, the languages haven't quite died out. If you go into stations in Rheinland and Kusari you see they both use German and Japanese, respectively, for the exit signs on the main airlock door thingies. So maybe everyone simply learns english as their main language first, and then their cultural language.

I am just a worthless liar,
I am just an imbecile,
I will only complicate you,
Trust in me and fall as well.

Really? I never noticed that. I did know that Kusari still has some Buddists (there's a statue on one of their plannets) and there were a few asian characters, but there's still German in Rheinland? How about Jappanese amoung the GMG? Although the stations can be decieving. I believe there is a Bretonia banner on the floor of one of the Junker bases in Liberty, if I am not mistaken. --- VH16

What happened to Scandinavians?Anyone know?

they'd be with reinland. germany was a norse country. notice alot of norse names are germanish?

-~Ghost~

Hmm i already see a mod in my mind. A base populated entirely by scandinavians...

Well, Valkries are Nordic war goddess-nymph things if memory serves correct, and I think Banshees are pan-scandinavia as well. For you newbies out there, they're also the names of the Rheinland Heavy and light fighters. Maybe by the year whatever the cultures have merged.

VH16, you flamed the lack of "ñ" in "Hispania"... Well, you're wrong! It IS "Hispania"! That was the name given to the territory by the Romans, and one maintained for some time during ancient times.

Check out these address for ancient Spanish history:

That is, if you can read Spanish, of course.

PS: Geez, even your nickname is wrong now.

Incidentally, most of the Rheinland ships are named after norse mythology in general. Odin, thor, freya, heimdal, etc.

All i can say on this matter is would a druged out pirate lie mmmmmm

That's only true of their Battleships. The Gunboats and Cruisers are named after places in Germany ie Battleship Thor, Odin etc but you see the Cruiser RNC Hamburg, for example

how about the sirius people invade the earth people

Someone on this thread insulted Italian space engeneering.
Well, just think that while your pair of little crawling robots were skating in the sand, the European orbiter found frozen water around all mars, and it used only italian instruments for that purpose.
