1. After the scientific method was discovered, all monastic orders were immediately disbanded. Those Germans making beer for their meals completely vanished without a trace. Some say it was the Rapture.
2. Soon as the first scientist created a plastic material in his laboratory, all fur coats in the nation instantly disappeared.
3. National borders are determined by how many artists a nation has. If it weren't for Hollywood and 30Rock the border with Canada would run through Saint Louis.
4. There are hit singles; there are movies; and there are Broadway musicals; but there are no TV shows.
5. The only way you can get fruit in your diet is by going to the tropics for some bananas.
6. As soon as oil was discovered in Texas, people in New York City instantly got sick and started dying from oil poisoning.
7. Spearmen STILL beat tanks. If you bring enough of them. This will be good news for our defense spending.
8. It is functionally impossible for a city with a lot of food to load up trucks and transport some of that food to a city that's starving. Those kids in Africa dying off, their only hope is some random event that can make it happen.
9. Barbarians regularly hit their Bronze Age in 4000 BC and show up on civilized borders of city states that haven't yet had time to even build a warrior with a club. They prayed to the gods, and the gods provided them with arms and a huge population.
10. If you found a religion, you have no choice over where that religion will be headquartered. Islam's Mecca for example, was just a random pick by the djin of Chance.
11. If you chop down a lot of trees, that will help you build space ship parts faster. That wood turns itself into plastic and aluminum, magically.
12. You can mine missionaries and axemen out of the hills. Just be careful how you swing those picks to dig them out.
13. The Rocky Mountains are inaccessible to anyone because of the terrain type. All skiing in Aspen, Colorado, is hereby cancelled. Hannibal never made it to Rome because of the Alps.
