The Avro Arrow. At the time it was superior to anything being produced by the Americans. We managed to develop one or two prototypes, but our Prime Minister suddenly cancelled the program. Although there was no absolute proof, most people believe it was because of pressure from the US.

BeBro · March 23, 2003, 16:17

Oh, thanks

I know the plane, but I always thought it was British.

BELGIUM:

+ Your government type is "Socialist Kleptocracy". You can't change it, but you can add new governments who each rule over a few cities.

- If you build a city or tile improvement in the northern half of your empire, it will be automatically built in the southern half too and can't be cancelled. But in the southern half the improvement will cost twice as much to maintain and take 2 times longer to complete.

- Belgium has no culture of its own, it has 2 cultures: Dutch and French. If you can't maintain the status quo between the two cultures, Belgium will become part of either France or the Netherlands and the game will end.
