@@CatholicWeeb Kinda except there's probably more people of japanese ORIGIN in Brazil. Not nationality,not people, ORIGIN. There's 1.6 million people of japanese origin in all of Brazil. That's smaller then the population of Sapporo!

[@DarthEstebanMontoya]

@@CatholicWeeb Sort of, not really. Preemptive sorry for the rant. Just trying to educate. Very different situation of the emigration in those countries. The Irish who emigrated to the US were fleeing a country-wide famine with a smaller group coming in later following the dreams and "promises" of the original wave of immigrants. The Japanese who emigrated to Brazil however, came there because the rapid industrialization of Japan left many without work and most of the "West/USA" banned or severely limited how many Asians could immigrate to their countries. Ironically (or morbidly depending on your sense of humor) the Japanese in Brazil were practically treated as slaves (though that shouldn't be an unfamiliar story considering the times.) Digging further into this history between the Brazilians and their Japanese immigrants leads to a familiar story. Prejudice and Ostracization from the majority ethnic population in WW2. Some would say Brazil ran internment camps similar to what the US did. However, things changed quite rapidly in the 70's. The Japanese-Brazilians are now held as some the best workers there and enjoy quite the high social status. Again, sorry for the history lesson, just felt the need to share.

That map looks like one of these meme where it says "the more you look the more it becomes weirder". Really fun to watch! As for the mods breaking down, it's because Paradox changed the format extension of the files (from a .zip file to a simple folder), thus even if a mod should still be compatible, the new launcher can't find the new mod and launch it correctly. It also seems a lot of modders can't have the launcher "make" the new mod (I'm myself waiting to be able to play again with my favorites mods : / )

As an addition I will say what is Galicia for those who do not know. Galicia is one of the oldest nations in Europe, in fact, it is the first medieval kingdom in Europe (the Suevo Kingdom of Gallaecia). It was one of the last Celtic areas in Hispania after the conquest and this Celtic tradition was maintained over the years, in fact, in Samhain, Beltane, Magosto and other Celtic festivals are still celebrated. Galicia also has its own language, Galician, which is a Romance language with ancient Celtic and Germanic influence. Portuguese is a language derived from Galician. By the way, the capital of Galicia is Santiago de Compostela, one of the most important places of Christianity, and is known for having some of the best beaches in the world, as well as green landscapes and the highest cliffs in Europe, as well as its Unique cuisine in the world.

[@Deathstrider]
