If you're talking fighting, then:

Wales > Canada

Wow! That means without a doubt that the Welsh are better fighters than the French. Thank you for your interesting and insightful analysis.

I'll admit most of it is as a tourist or as an American soldier stationed in other countries though often for months on end and sometimes up to a year. Also, for travels in Latin America at least, I speak Spanish so it was not "Do you speak English?" at ever higher volumes. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif

As for fewer opportunities... It depends on your education and skill set but even in the worst of Britain there are many more opportunities then in most 3rd world countries. Especially if one is entrepreneurial in spirit as well developed capital markets and venture capital supplies form the basis of most of the economic superiority of the 1st world over the 3rd world.

Good Point. Though, in fairness, I'd contend that the Angevin Empire (for lack of a better name) either directly controlled or had vassalized virtually all parts of what would later be called Great Britain (and even the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Ireland).

I'll give you that some official vassals were damn disloyal though and even fought their official feudal lord (Scotland comes to mind).

Attachment 165918

Charles Ewart made his name in history by capturing the Eagle of the 45th Regiment during the charge of the Union Brigade at Waterloo. Ewart was no spring chicken. At the time of the battle he was 46 years old and had served in the army for 26 years. He was a superb horseman, immensely strong and powerful and a giant of a man. At a time when the average height of a soldier was about 5’6”/5’7”, Ewart stood 6’4”. He is described in one book as being “of Herculean strength and of consummate skill as a swordsman”.



Ewart slashed right and left at a dozen men guarding the Eagle. After an epic hand to hand struggle in which he killed three Frenchmen, he seized the Eagle and was ordered to take it to the rear by General Ponsonby. Rewarded with a commission for capturing the Eagle, he left the army in 1821 with a pension of £100 per annum. Died in Lancashire in 1846. The Eagle is still in possession of the Ewart’s Regiment and is displayed at Edinburgh Castle. Ewart’s tomb is located on the Esplanade in front of the Castle.

I have never traveled in South America, the closest was 2.5 months in Panama which, sadly, isn't even on the same continent, but I've spoken with many expat south Americans who moved to the US and with several Americans who moved to South America to experience what life was like there. Universally they have told me Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay are the most developed countries on the continent which feel the most 1st world though I have heard the extreme south of Brazil is economically almost up to the same standard and both culturally and ethnically the most European part of Brazil. The ethnic thing probably doesn't matter to most of us though the cultural part very well might help lessen the culture shock people feel when moving to a different country.

Then I'll be moving there http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/nod.gif

I know about Durham, 1840, 1867... I don't like USA, I know both english and french, and I like Terrance and Philipp. I'm practically Canadian, right?

You've got the frogs covered, but how do you feel about beaver?

That's irrelevant. Asher hates beavers and he's ten times the Canadian you are.
