well seriously, the British Empire was far too large to remain stable. if it wasn't us it would have been India in a matter of years. But I have to applaud how a small island took over 1/2 the world, quite impressive.

Acutally it was more like a third. And another reason why it couldn't hold together was the fact it was so split up. It's a lot more difficult to control a county thousands of kilometres over an ocean.

I know, let me exagurate.

and yeah, having an empire that large period creates logistics problems. that probably wouldnt even work today, even with all of our telecommunications etc.
just look at china. the only (2) reasons that it is capable of maintaining such a huge oligarcy is that 1) it doesnt have a lot of international (and almost no intercontinental) communication for its average citizens and 2) its culturally honorable to remain loyal to your government.

before you respond: If you think this is going to become a thread, how about we move it?

From the 8th to the 10th century, the Danes were known as Vikings. Together with Norwegians and Swedes, they colonised, raided and traded in all parts of Europe. Viking explorers first discovered Iceland by accident in the 9th century, on the way towards the Faroe Islands and eventually came across "Vinland" (Land of wine) also known today as Newfoundland, in Canada. The Danish Vikings were most active in England and France where they temporarily conquered parts of England, known as the Danelaw, Ireland and France, giving name to the French region of Normandy. More Anglo-Saxon coins from the Viking age have been found in Denmark than in England.[citation needed] As attested by the Jelling stones, the Danes were united and Christianised about 965 by Harald Bluetooth, the second recognised king of Denmark. In the early 11th century, Canute the Great won and united Denmark, England and Norway for almost 30 years.[8]

Well I'll ask again for someone to post some of the information found within the articles as I'm sure it's pretty legal as long as it doesn't go overboard presenting an 1:1 version of the original article... I'm more interested in that than the pretty pictures anyway. I already know the game's beautiful, I just don't know much about how it plays!
