Well I was for one. The country that is now Nowapan started out as a small country to which I just kept adding neighbors. This was 3 years before Nova was officially born. To this day I appreciate a country that is shaped nicely. I don't like the shape of India for instance but I find the shape of Brazil very attractive. -- Brad Coon hawksinger@fwi.com listowner battleship-l http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Gorge/7264/battleship-l.html http://www.ipfw.indiana.edu/east1/coon/web/index.htm (home pg. et al.) http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Gorge/7264 (outdoor and prim.skills) http://members.tripod.com/~Hawksinger (wine and whisky pgs) Civilize the mind and make savage the body.
