Bonum index. Per viam, vini vidi vici.--IVLIVS CAESAR

A very stereotypical word in Poswa: maepappi plorba "hand-on-shoulder challenge". Even though tug of war is not played with your hands on someone else's shoulders, it's the impression of cooperating with someone closely in front of you that is called to mind with the word maepappi . They might even...

But all I wanted was a hug!

It is true that languages sound different based on what context they are used in. It is true that most of my German exposure comes from the movie Downfall but I heard it spoken other times. My grandma knows German and she spoke it to me several times. I don't like German probably because I'm used to...

This is an interesting question. Here are my answers. Here are the three best in my opinion: 1. Spanish--One of the best sounding languages ever which I knew since I was very little. I don't get why everyone puts it on their bottom three. In my opinion it is a beautiful language, the language of lov...

I am surprised that Janse got on the list because from what I read in The Rouges and from the Biography of a Beic peasant (in the PCK), I can see that Belesao is a very poor and backward country. This is also illustated by the fact that most Beic people don't even wear clothes and go naked. They al...

Oh yes, I actually watched all three parts of the documentary about a year ago. My favorite was the second part because it was about the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire and I have sort of an obsession with Renaissance Spain. This is due to the fact that Charles V a key ruler of Renaissance Spain...

If the people of Belesao are so advanced what is their relative prosperity? The Almeopedia page for Belesao doesn't say.

Do you fail to understand that population does not correlate with wealth/technological advancement? The vast majority of the world's population lives in 3rd world conditions, signs of a well-off nation are exactly a decrease in birth rates. ~Lyra It is true that a vast majority of the world's popul...

Thanks for the list! :) I'm surprised that Kebropol is not on the list if it happens to be in the "most advanced nation of Almea with a relative prosperity of 102. And what about Syxeteer? I figured that since the flaids only live on a tiny island, their main city would have to be densely packed. Al...

I am new to the board and I have many questions about Almea I'm dying to know the answer to. One of these is about the cities on Almea.
My question is: What are the top five largest Almean cities and what are their populations? Are there any cities with over a million people?
