In reply to: Ian (Australia) 's message, "I'm not sure why you are so anti-decentralisation, Owain" on 12:59:37 11/01/04 Mon

I was talking about tehe UK alone, not the federal commonwealth. Sure I undertand that a united commonwealth would be federal, but I don live in a united commonwealth, I live in the UK which i fervantly believe shoudl be centralised. Ideologically I am a centralist, pure and simple and that isnt going to change until I believe the FC might actualy come to be. Currently I live in the rpeumption that I will die in the UK and fear that I will die in the Republic of Wales.

Later this week, I will be changing the maps on the Commonwealth History page on the FCS Canada web site. I will be removing the animated maps because they go too quickly. I will be replacing them with still maps of various stages of Empire development and compared to other empires from 1650 to 1943. Then I will have the modern maps of the Commonwealth and the proposed Federation further down.

I have decided that it's time for a bit of British Isles education. I will put together historical maps showing the gradual unification of the British Isles from before 1066 to 1801 along with the maps of the development of the empire.

Someone said earlier that I showed the proposed Federation in a 'sickly green'. How about if I changed it to gold?

What are people's thoughts on this before I make these changes?

It was I who said it was sickly green, but really it wasnt all that bad, its just that I missed the good old scarlet.

I think that the green map is appropriate in it's context, to emphasise a new phase. I would not like to see the other maps changed from red.

The idea of a U.K. history is a very sensible one as the current inter-dominion/U.K. are now of the same status as Scotland/England from 1603-1707.
