... Germany does not have a constitution (Verfassung) but a constitutional law (Grundgesetz) since WWII?
... a constitution would have fixed the two German states?
... after the German Reunification 1990 the constitutional wasn't change into constitution?

... I wonder how much people still know that appr. 20 years ago Germany was divided by the Iron Curtain?
... I wonder, too, how much people know what the Iron curtain was?

... I'm totally aware that the Iron Curtain was there due to the differences of the West and the East.
... this was before my age.
... I also wonder how many people remember the Berlin Wall?
... the Netherlands have motorways in every single province?
... Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands, but the government is settled in The Hauge?
... that was the work of the French during the beginning of the 19th Century, when the Netherlands was a part of France?
... they also introduced the SI here (man I'm glad they did that!)?
... Cities XL has no rail in Solo (free) Mode?
... I think Bernard would be furious when he hears that?
... Many people reacted the same way (including me)?
... with this move of Monte Christo, Sim City 4 is probably going to win from Cities XL handsdown?

... if I were buying CitiesXL I would play SP most of the time?
... there is a VERY easy equation now for me regarding CXL:

NO RAIL = NO BUY

... most probably I am not only one who thinks the same?  %wrd

... a picture would be OK if the description was following the rules?

TheTeaCat

... that I may be the only person to have a like this?

... I agree with Nardo
... that the above stated reason is (in my opinion) one of the reasons why SimCity Societies is bad
... that I have just bought Left 4 Dead
... because my SC4 CD2 is broken, I am unable to install my game and thus also unable to (re)lot stuff and figure out how the BAT works

... I just started a village competition over at the German Simforum:)
... everyone registered there can take part in it?  :)
... I would make a translation of the rules of it if there is interest in them?   ;)

... of course a lot of people complained about the rules?  ::)
... the rules are very common and just define a rough frame for the competion?  "$Deal"$

WC_EEND
