Holy crap that's cool. Might have to actually play Civ 5 in order to try that.

Thanks! You'll need the DLC if you wanna play with Spain, Ethiopia, and Brazil. Trust me, though, it's definitely worth it.

You're still in charge of the US, right? I'll have to think of something the US has done in RP to give them a specific UA. Is there anything noteworthy or particular that the US has done since I've been gone? All I remember is the US's war against Canada, the conquering of that breakaway Canadian nation, the gassing of Seattle, and their anti-communist leanings.

Also quick PoW related question: Is Ireland independent from the UK? I saw either in the lore summary or the wiki that it was, but I just wanted to confirm that. I don't want to do anything important with it, I just mention it in regards to the Irish-Americans in the US.

I don't recall Ireland breaking off during the British economic turmoil, but then again, I don't [i]not[/i] recall it breaking away either. I would say yes, but then again, PoW lore isn't my call, beyond Mexico--and I since I've been gone so long, I doubt I have much say on that either.

Speaking of which, how are things looking for Mexico? Anything important I should know about? Has anyone taken it up in my absence? If not, I might just like to pick it back up....
