Or Utah. You know, a bunch of natives(Utes), some guys with a strange religon(Mormons), and one bastion of normalcy(Salt Lake City). In this case the normalcy is my naval base at Rio Gallegos, but it only goes inland like 1 mile.

LOL... if you speak of normalcy in Salt Lake City, you must have never been. ;)
Any place that has billboards that say 'Real Men Don't Use Porn' and limit the alcohol content of beer to 5% is about as far from normal as east is from west. :D

Of course, if you go far enough east, you will end up in the west. :)
So if you were to apply that, what would that do to the 'Real Men Don't Use Porn' and the 5% alcohol content limit of beer?

WEll, then they'd be in the far east... which I'm not so sure isn't crazy, either.
Eating raw fish... *dripping sarcasm* YUMMY! *dripping sarcasm* ;)
Of course they have some great fighting men, great ships (many of my new ships are drawing inspiration from the IJN, just look at the funnels) and make better movies out of cartoons than Hollywood can with billions in special effects money. ;)

The only thing the Mormons accomplished was getting kicked out of virtually every State in the US and landing in the worst desert on the North American continent. Shoot, it was even legal to kill them in Missouri- no questions asked, just prove they were carrying a book of Mormon.

Considering some of the other things in the Far East, that is actually not crazy at all!

Hey! The Japanese Warship features are (c) Japan! :)
Do you have the books "Tamiya News Supplement: Random Japanese Warship Details" and "Tamiya News Supplement: Random Japanese Warship Details Vol.2"? If you want to use Japanese warship features on your ships, then those two books are really useful even if they are in Japanese.

QuoteShoot, it was even legal to kill them in Missouri- no questions asked, just prove they were carrying a book of Mormon.

... so you just shoot a random person dead, stick a book of Mormon in his hands and go "Hey! Look! I just killed a Mormon!!"

Ahoj!
There also are rare copies of "Tamiya News Supplement: All You Wanted to Know about Japanese Warships, but Were Ashamed to Ask", followed by the almost impossible to get "Tamiya News Supplement: All The Interior Details of Japanese Warships You Dreamt About In Junior High".

Borys

Most likely a case of Japan first, rest of the world second when it comes to those books. The more there are sold in Japan, the less there will be left for the rest of the world. :)

Raises hand hey im Mormon... we arnt all wierdos, lol i dont live in Utah and even I get a kick out of the billboards on the rare ocasion I actualy go there.

Well that probably won't be a worry in Navalism, as Utah seems to be missing from the world, Salt Lake City's histoical location being currently part of the Mountains of Shadow on the southern end of Mordor.  I don't know where the followers of Brigham Young went, but they didn't head to there.

Yeah, the Mormon guy that was in my Basic Training company listed off about an even dozen of those billboard messages, and he couldn't stop laughing as he did it. They seem to be like our National Guard TV commercials (God, how cheesy)- well-meaning, but EXTREMELY poorly executed. ;) I mean, nothing is more dorky than a National Guard commercial... except maybe a commercial for the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, I remember seeing one of those that had some semi-pop background music that would have driven even a strong man to suicide.

Of course, every religion has it's crazy points... I grew up Baptist.
The Baptist church forbids dancing.
So, of course, they didn't dance at the church... they did it in the barn. ;)

Therefore, while the kids may not have been technically born in a barn...

Neigh!
Neigh, I say!
Surely you jest!

Technically I would be considered an "unwashed heathen" as I wasn't baptised even though I went to a Baptist school.
