Upon completion of the highway, Poland as a whole was so happy about this that their leader pleaded eternal loyalty to the German people in a grandiose speech. Sure, Germany tore that road down immediately after the Polish president ended his speech, but the Poles didn't really mind. It was the thought that counted

391. Governments aren't systems of rule, they are states of mind.

Isn't England a example Republic and a Monarchy.
I suppose so, technically, but it's usually called a constitutional monarchy, and grouped under monarchies (despite the fact that their royalty has very little power).

392. You use coal to build a factory, not to make it work.
393. Some people say that aluminum is one of the most abundant elements. They all lie.
394. The US can't have around 5.000 nuclear missiles (correct me if I'm wrong). Where did they get 10.000 of uranium then?
395. Naval warfare wasn't that important in History.
396. Historical events happened in 1200 AD and 1210 AD. Absolutely nothing happened between those years. How was the Mongolian empire founded then?
397. Modern physics didn't start at the 18th Century, but probably around 12-13th Century.

398. Giant Death Robots run on fusion power, but for some reason still need uranium.
