I'm sure there's more to the universe than just Earth so terms like League of Nation and the WTO seem to become redundant in the universal perspective. :p

But still. A list of big words makes me drool like any other nerd out there. :)

Whew, I feel like I just played a game of Civ3!

can be found here (http://members.verizon.net/~vze3fs8i/hist/). Musings on its human-centric and Western-Developed-World-centricness can be found here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/eric_schulman/6099.html). And while we're at it, the book I wrote based on the history can be found here (http://members.verizon.net/~vze3fs8i/bhtes/).
