Bureaucrat
Monty: Sir Winston, our forces report that Rheims, the new French capital, is well defended. Our forces are facing catapult attacks.
Churchill: I suppose this means another of your famous setpiece battles, Monty. Just remember that we continue to be at war with Japan, and at some point, we will need to assemble a force to bail out the Americans.
Lady Astor: Winston, Herodotus has named us the most cultured nation in the world
Churchill: So? We're never going to play for a cultural victory.
Lady Astor: No, but don't forget to check culture on the victory screen. More importantly, you can see that Japan, Carthage, and Rome-
Churchill: Italy.
Lady Astor: -all have more powerful armies than England does. And you seem to be picking fights with at least 2 of them, and the other one is right next door.
Monty: All true, Sir Winston. The French are notably backward, and outside of the forces we have in France, we don't have any significant concentration of forces.
Churchill: Ah, but we have a significant technological advantage on our rivals! Note how the Jolly Roger is annihilating Dido's ships, right under her nose. Carthage has nothing to counter our Corsair technology.
Lady Astor: Let's hope so. In world news, Gandhi's Golden Age has ended, and Roosevelt has founded a new city for China to capture.
Churchill: Poor Franklin.
Lady Astor: And I made the following deals with Boudica and Mansa Musa
Churchill: After all the Crab trade puns, tell me you made a joke about offering your Clam to Boudica.
<the phone rings, mercifully interrupting CHURCHILL and LADY ASTOR's banter>
Willem: Hallo Engels! I am Willem van Oranje of the Netherlands.
Churchill: Hello Dutch! Fear not, we'll liberate you from the German tyranny after a few years have passed.
Willem: (confused) Wat?
Churchill: Would you like Open Borders and Code of Laws in exchange for your maps?
Willem: Of course! You won't be sorry, Dutch maps are the best! Goodbye!
<dial tone>
Lady Astor: The Dutch maps didn't reveal anything we didn't already know.
Churchill: Damn it!
Lady Astor: We did just research Constitution, though. Shall we revolt to a Representational government?
Churchill: I don't think any of us are ready for that. Perhaps in our next celebratory period. Now research Economics, for Free Market and yet another free person!
