(OOC: Okay, as many of you people know, I'm from Shanghai, China and I love that city like no other. New York and Singapore, the other two cities that I've lived in, just can't compare. Now, one of the major goals of my nation has been to discover the "owner" of Shanghai, so that I could through some way of IC or OOC means, negotiate for the purchase of cession of Shanghai, China.

Now who has claims over Shanghai, China?)

Well, I've always wanted Shanghai, and once owned it, before AMF drove me out of China. Of course... I always wanted it because by my figuring, if you control Shanghai you control the Yangtze, control the Yangtze and you pretty much control all of China. Imperialist, you call me? Not really, but controlling China would really help my economy... not to mention provide some nice "living space" for my people.

But those days are behind me. Too much opposition from the Azn Resistance has wore me down as a deticated imperialist.

o and FCN, i think the azn resistance died... yea im pretty sure we did, cause we got sucked into a war when Dra-pol betrayed us and i became too dumb to take time to kno my enemy.

haha, but it doesnt matter who owns china. I mean, ppl say this happens, they say that happens, but u can always claim a china in an alternate time zone or universe...

(ooc: 5CN, I'm from California, but I'm currently living with my mom and dad in Beijing because my dad took an overseas assignment. After two years of living on the edge of a desert, I've gotta agree with you...Shanghai is one of my favorite cities in the world. I've got a fair few friends going to SAS.)

IC:

Terra wishes 5CN good luck in their quest to 'own' Shanghai, but wishes to point out that many nations ignore those governments that claim ownership over RL land. Once again, good luck.

Maybe I should just claim it then in some future time, i.e. when my future/space-tech nation exists...
