Small islands are good, its like they are little planets.
As for leader, doesn't Mao strike you as looking like a bit of a trekkie?

No, Julius Caesar! He kinda looks like the Emperor!
I could do small islands, I suppose.

Star Trek 12 -- The Wrath of ...
Caesar?
Billy: Captain's log. Star date: 4000BC. Starfleet headquarters has asked my crew to investigate a primitive M-class planet is sector 136 mark 4 in the Beta quadrant. Tricorder readings...
[Billy's laptop playing MP3 SFX ripped from TNG season 3, #8]
...show abundance of food.
Preston: Captain, it would be highly logical to settle the new human colony in place.
Billy: Agreed!
Austin: Rome? Spock you green blooded hobgoblin, we're Romulans? For godssake man, I'm a doc--
Billy: Bones, enough! We're here to seek out new life and new civilizations. Take, for instance, the primitives who inhabit this planet and their mindless superstition...
Billy: Lacking the perspective of our ultra-fascist society, they turn to figments imagined from clouds, sunlight, and thunder.
Austin: And there medicine, they cut people! Not like our 23rd century stuff!
Preston: Fascinating!
Police Officer: Hey, are you dorks done with your little pajama play? Come on, you're scaring the normal people. Convention center is three blocks that way--get back with the other freaks before I set the k-9s on you. You too, pointy ears! Yeah, live long and prosper to you too, buddy!
Billy [moping]: Come on, guys...I hear Worf's stunt double will be at the pretzel stand.
Preston: That cop was such a dummy. That wasn't the Live Long and Prosper sign at all!
**********
Okay, I played 30. That's a fu--load of food, eh? I went worker first, thinking we'd hook up the cows and pigs early. Probably should have done the workboat first though, so we could grow. Agriculture->Animal Husbandry was the tech path.
On the herb choice, I didn't think the non-essential citizen bit jived well with the whole star trek utopia BS, but neither did world domination. Eh...oh well...

Affirmative captain. Expect a progress report on future developments in approximately 1.27 of your earth days.
I'm thinking Sailing then Bronze Working might be the way to go.
As we are Romans, we have to try and Praet rush somebody as well.

nah, just thought the video might be relevant to your interests
I'm quite busy with a pitboss game, that's enough for my daily dose of civ. Lurking this one with interest though! May the force be with you!

Hmm, not a bad start. The health event is always a nice one to get. Workboat first probably would have been the best choice since we start with Fishing, but since perfect play isn't the goal here, I'll let it slide. 
But we gotta rename Rome! Coruscant would be my pick, of course . . . but I suppose you could do something silly like Earth or whatever the Federation has that passes for a capital.
And, is our "short description" Dweeb? Not inappropriate, but I thought that there was a scientific distinction between nerd, dork, dweeb, geek, etc. =P
Anyway, Sailing is definitely a good idea. Those spices would be nice to pick up, but there's no food down there at all, so it's definitely a filler. Iron somewhere would be wonderful so we can let loose the Stormtroopers . . . I mean, the Praetorians.

That's the idea. I let the city be named Rome, as Trek has links to the Romulus of mythology. You'll correct my offensive use of Trek as you see fit.

Let's build a primitive space shuttle so we can explore our local system.

Oh, man! Now I see it, too! Why'd you have to go and say that?
Anyway, I agree about crafting ourselves water space ship. Unfortunately, I don't think it'll have room for the turbolaser.
And that, my fellow scientists, is how you stop wild animals from eating your hamburger earmuffs, HOYVIN-GLAYVIN!
Now, if you refer to the following picture.
You can see that many improvements have been made.
The Bos primigenius have been coralled into a permamnent carbon-fibre enlosure, so they can't run wild and the mooing and the licking and the pooping, AH HOYVIN. You will notice the same has been done to the Sus domestica.
You can also see the result of our boat/net transform. The first of these has been done and the second in in its boat phase soon to morph into the net stage of the process.

Clearly the, um, tachyons have interfered with the proton-beam uplink system, and the requisite data have been dispersed into the nano-sphere.
Or: The cows ate Oz's homework.

Definitely the cows. Those starwars idiots don't even know what tachyons are. For example:
I love the descriptive line at the end. I took that from this version of the script. Don't know if Lucas wrote it, but obvious misinformation finally explains what a stupid line that is.

Yeah, OK, fine. I don't know a tachyon from a quark. Oh! Or were you talking about Oz there . . . ? Um . . . yeah.
Interesting about that script version. I recall some other interpretations of the "twelve parsecs" line having to do with navigating the shortest distance between all the black holes around Kessel, but I'm not here to defend that piece of dialogue, so I'll leave it at that.
Edit: Oh, yeah. I'll have to get me some of those hamburger earmuffs. Keep the ears warm, and doubles as emergency food supply if you get marooned in a blizzard.

Look on the bright side. At least the film had a script. (Obviously Ozbenno wasn't on the production team).

I take you are referring to the unintended irony in the statement? I guess I can appreciate the prequels for little "gems" like that one.There was also a lot more "time warping" in the prequels, with characters going from one side of the galaxy to the other in no time flat, and at other times, Character A leaves Planet X on Day 1 for Planet Y. Character B leaves Planet X on Day 3 for Planet Y. Both A and B reach Y on Day Z. Or probably Day 2. *Ahem* Yes, yes. Anyway, the game . . . .
