My brother Will's got this thing with getting involved in empire building. He's a PolySci major; he can't help it. Or rather, he's a PolySci major because he can't help it.
( Long but amusing backstory within )
Anyway, I bring this up because Will's taking a a class in Foreign Policy and Decision Making this semester, which has a simulation with several countries interacting. Last year they were allowed to name their countries, given professorial approval; the professor let a United Republic Made Of Many slip past, and under wise leadership URMOM dominated the simulation (until everyone else got sick of it and allied against it in "Operation: Screw URMOM"). This year the professor is naming the countries himself, go fig. But there are a few good ones, and Will hopes to get assigned to the Empire of Nod, just for the "Soon comes the Empire" letterhead.
[edit: Sorry, I meant to cut that.]
