Remember me. Which Country has never been invaded, never declared war and has always been a leader in international diplomacy? Make more sense to have the System Alliance Earth HQ As far as possible from New-York and Geneva and on a stable country/continent. remember that most of Africa and rural China hasn't evolved a lot. the Seattle-Vancouver megalocity is a good, original idea.

It's funny the more I think about it the more it seems like a good choice.  Totally unexpected, but good.

I'm waiting on that 'Canadian military uses horses' joke so I can punch somebody in the mouth. That one has been overused half to hell in Just For Laughs and I never want to hear it again.

For the record...
- Canadian Air Force > Others (besides Isreal/UK) in terms of training.
- We have the greatest snipers in the world. I don't know a less biased way to say it, really.
- Leopard 2A6 > M1 Abrams all damn day

You're bragging about a tank designed originally in West Germany, a variant of which was purchased by Canada from the Netherlands?

Ya, it is. Although we added a few upgrades, like mine-proof plates and RPG-proof fencing.

Canada pretty much stopped making their own military equipment (although that was rare to begin with) after Diefenbaker cancelled the Avro Arrow in 1958, despite being 10 years ahead of all the interceptors in its time.

I'm pretty sure the different European nations scrambled for control of Africa to gain power, resources and slaves in the... 1700's I believe? They needed slaves to do work in North America because Africans were less susceptible to disease, and were stronger. Rwanda became under French control for example. Don't quote me on this, I have no textbook in front of m-

HEY.
HEY ME.
STOP TAKING THIS OFF TOPIC.

Ahem. I expected a Canadian city, but Vancouver is a bit of an odd choice. Montreal is an absolutely beautiful city, Toronto is greatly diverse and 'big'. But Vancouver? Who cares about Vancouver? Only people from Vancouver. And Canuck fans.

A Canuck is a slang term for Canadian.  Its origins are unkown.

But Im an American who got this info off Wikipedia so take it with a grain of salt.

I'm conflicted on whether to teach my internet mom about North American history I learned in Grade 10, or to just leave the thread alone...
Hmmm...
Canuck = Canadian, likely the West Coast type. About 200km left of my location and Bioware HQ.
Okay, I'm done.
