Being Irish myself I certainly agree with this, but I'm just trying to consistently apply the rules. Quote:
Right, but the way I've gone over his history, he was born in Northern Ireland and spent his entire life there, working on behalf of Northern Ireland. Since we're working with modern nations, I don't see any record that he ever actually lived in the modern Ireland, much less did anything on behalf of it. Am I wrong?

Again, I'm flexible on this. I don't want to be a dictator. If most of the participants feel my reasoning is wrong here, I'd be willing to let the pick stand.

And I'm sure another ruling I made in response to a PM is going to be pretty controversial.

I think we're waiting for a switch on the Diplomat pick first?

6.5 Geographical Location - Fertile Crescent, Iraq, Pre-20th Century
My people will never be hungry. Plus it's the cradle of civilization...hard to beat that for importance in a place.

6.6 - Anthony Fokker, Air Chief, Netherlands, 20th Century
The Red Baron had his kills, but they were in Anthony Fokker's planes. Developer of many of the German planes during WW1, including the famous triplane. He and his company developed the interrupter gear, which allowed machine guns to fire through propellors without the risk of shooting the prop off, a design that was used all the way till jets became the norm. |

*shrug* I thought that might be a difficulty with that pick - call it Iraq I suppose, as that's where the largest and oldest cities were

thanks! I thought it might drop more, but frankly, I am convinced that I have enough backup picks in the other categories left that that was the best "value" pick left

6.7 Galileo Galilei - Scientist - Italy - Pre-20th Century
No matter what time period our nations are being constructed in, a knowledge and awareness of our universe will be essentially to furthering the aims of a country. Usher in Galileo, a master astronomer and physicist to lead our scientific corps and more importantly, he is one that will stand for the truth and not bow before those in authority who wish to silence his discoveries.

There is no writer category, and if you meant artist, the country is already taken.

I need a rules clarification before I can pick. Are we required to have 6 Pre-20th and 6 20th or 7 and 7? I am basically wondering if the Manmade and Natural categories count in this or not.

They do count, but I did note earlier that you have some flexibility with where to put those. It doesn't have to necessarily be when they were first created. If a mandmade structure was created in 1850, but is more relevant today, I'll allow the pick, but you'll have to make your case to the voters.
