  5. Where the River Flows: The Story of Misia: A Native American Superpower

    I'm British, but I don't really care how we are described, we were big enough and bad enough to have earned it and mostly are in denial of that. I was more concerned about the post indian independence comments and also the references to Israel / Arab countries

  6. Where the River Flows: The Story of Misia: A Native American Superpower

  12. AHC: A Sub-Saharan African empire with territory in Europe

    I think a lot of the possible scenarios ignore the population boom that took place in Europe. From 61 million in 1100 to 95 million in 1500. Although smaller states have frequently conquered larger ones in history. France alone had 17 million people before the black death. The Mali empire...

The question is did the british empire have the financial resources and political will to militarise the economies...
