@Lain, for a different type of challenge, have you ever considered trying the Dan Quayle mod? Basically its the American Civ led by Dan Quayle, but instead of a better UU and UI, you get worse ones (like 1/2 speed workers)
Does it have a new, idiotic quotation for all techs to accompany the Future Tech one?
Hunting - "You all look like happy campers to me. Happy campers you are, happy campers you have been, and as far as I'm concerned, happy campers you will be."
Meditation - "What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not having a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."
Education - "Quite frankly, teachers are the only profession that teach our children."
Banking - "Bank failures are caused by depositors who don't deposit enough money to cover losses due to mismanagement."
Constitution - "We shouldn't be burdened with all the technicalities that come up from time to time with shrewd, smart lawyers interpreting what the laws or the Constitution may or may not say"
Democracy - "I believe we are on an irreversible trend toward more freedom and democracy---but that could change."
Satellites - "Space is almost infinite. As a matter of fact, we believe it is infinite" or "It's time for the human race to enter the solar system."
Civil Service - "I just don't believe in the concept that someone should make their whole career in public service."
