OK, I am going to a list NationStates wonders. Here you show off your wonders, either Ancient, modern or natural wonder.

To stop an overflow of wonders, you can only have a maxium of two wonders in total. You can have the two in one Catargory, thoguh. You will: Name what order it is in *Modern, Natural or Ancient*, the name, the country were it is loctated and a quick note of what it's actually is. If you want a large discription, please do it in your own post.

I going to add my two enteries and list everyone's else as they are posted.

That's not a wonder, modern wonders usally require a large scale of workers and usally have a breakthough in design.

OOC: Uh, Floydham's 4.5 mile bridge is rather large for a suspension bridge.

You haven't heard of many bridges larger than a mile and a half, simply because there aren't that many.

But uh, whatever floats your boat.
