Nope, the Olmecs only ever inhabited a small part of the coastal area around La Venta. The Zapotecs and Mixtecs were the ones who were screwed over more.

No, I mean since it looks like a map, and not a map with stretched out continents or a cut up globe. In all honesty Robinson Projection is best, but I choose Mercator simply because it angers people who complain about Africa being tiny, as though Africa is important.

Africa has a population of 1.033 billion, the fastest growing continental economy in the world, is goddamn gargantuan (The D.R.C. is as big as Western Europe FFS) and contains unbelievably vast amounts of natural resources, and you're saying it's not important?

1) Individual countries have higher populations than the whole of Africa, 2) individual countries have high GDPs than the whole of Africa. 3) In fact Africa's GDP is the 5th lowest of all of the continents, 4) with only Australia and Antarctica having a lower GDP. 5)Africa is not some hidden super power, 6) it is an impoverished continent, 7) with very few stable countries that can be held up as an example of a successful African state.

Don't worry, the city's been cleaned up, with an unemployment rate around 0% since all the factories are constantly needed to churn out more mechas and flying aircraft carriers for the war effort against the Dominion. Detroit is the gleaming arsenalof Britalia.
