[Seabass]

What is a "Viking Empire"?

And why isn't the Merkin Empire on that list?

[macdoc]

Here is why audiences......

64.5% North American

22.9% European

62% under 20 years old

34% 20 - 39 year old

susceptible. Can't criticize the demographic.....

I feel they missed the boat in not listing English boarding schools, Catholic parochial schools, nunneries, Catholic orphanages and juvenile detention centers.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Libertarians.

Yeah, I wondered about the Viking "Empire" too. They were never fully unified. I think they should have just referred to it as the Viking civilization.

[laklak]

The Borg.

The Celts were completely un-unified too. They spent as much time fighting each other as they did the Romans.

Libertarians.

Fuck that, can you comprehend the magnitude of the reign of fear that school librarians have visited upon generation after generation of school children.

I was married to a librarian.

Celts are still the same. Sadly, sadly, Scots Gaelic is going to die out, and in large part that's because so many of its native speakers haven't been able to agree on how to save it.

But, as long as we beat the English we don't mind.

The Normans I suspect they mean. Its a stretch though.

The Romans win hands down though if not in sheer numbers of dead (the USSR wins there I suspect) but the brutality. Join us or we kill you was the basic strategy and they did a lot of it!

[Tyrannical]

I don't think the Maori or Apache qualify as a civilization.

There does seem to be some overlap here between 'culture' and 'civilization'. The Maoris did control a pretty big area mind you..mostly water though I suppose..
