HRE wins,

[Ishon]

I'd vote for Israel too if Poland wasn't on the list.

Switzerland has the fewest votes - and yet everyone hides their money there!

i'm glad to see this thread hasn't developed into another quote wars!

Why aren't the Franks on this list? It would be a great alternative to the HRE.

 

[TheLastOne36]

It would be a better Alternative, But not a great one. I'd rather have Prussia instead.

 

[Saim]

Prussia = Germany.

Germany is just what Prussia renamed itself after it conquered all of the German states except for Austria.

And what would Bismark be then, Germany or Prussia?

 

[TheLastOne36]

Germanic.

[cybrxkhan]

maybe they shold have a "Germanic" civ next time... then we can have barbarian leaders, medieval crusader leaders, early modern leaders, and... no Hitler, of course.

 

[Saim]

Prussia isn't only Germanic, it's also German (not early Prussia). It's Deautschlander (sp?). Anyway, the point still stands that Germany was simply Prussia's name change from when it took over most of Germany.

 

[dragodon64]

Frederick and Bismarck were both Prussian but Bismarck made Germany into one nation-state. So his rule (well Wilhelm's rule technically) was the transition from Prussia to Germany.

 

[TheLastOne36]

Woah talk about a bump.

 

[Woodreaux]

Hey, what about the Kurds?

 

[dragodon64]

And Saladin could be their leader with someoen else leading the Arabs

I don't understand the point of having the HRE AND Germany...the same could be said, though to a lesser extent, about Rome and Byzantium, or Babylon and Sumeria.

I mean why not have England and Great Britain (I personally would love the nation represented at it's 19th century peak...which would include scotland, wales, and at least Northern Ireland), or Russia and the Soviet Union or Persia and Media or maybe the Seljuk and Ottoman Turks?

Let's get some real diversity in the game. Poland and Israel both have better claims IMHO.
