I'd say yes.
And in light of the recent intrest of World War 2 talk. Come and post your comments here!

Recently I saw a Star Trek episode featuring a planet that had been introduced to the Nazi culture. They said that it was a very efficient culture - after all, it turned an impoverished, war-torn country into a nation that came very close to conquering the world.
I'd never thought about it that way before.

That was a good episode.

FLOBBLEDEEFEE, that's what we said when we were mad or frustrated, we said it because we were idiots. A bunch of inbred, illiterate, cro-magnons, blowin' our noses on crusty handkerchiefs, waiting in line for our heads to burst into flames. That's the way it was, and we liked it!

No, it isn't because the wars don't end without plug-ins. In terms of fighting, yes, technology is moving fast, but there is no government like the Thrid Riech.
Actully, the Nazi way of government isn't bad, what was bad about the Thrid Riech was the holocuast, and thier dream of a "perfect human".

Selective breeding ("eugenics") wasn't just confined to the Nazis. Even the Swedes made a brief foray into it. As time goes on and we gain a greater understanding of the human genome, it may return again. The logic may be quite seductive. If, for example, you could predict that the offspring of a couple were liable to have an undesirable trait such as being psychotic, diabetic, anaemic... well, some governments might discourage those folks from having children by natural means. Generations later, a country populated by people who aren't held back by genetic disorders could outproduce, outfight and even outbreed one which had pursued a more liberal course of action.
Maybe the future's not that bright after all.
Interesting factoid: Adolf Hitler came to power because of the Proportional Representation system of government. If he'd tried to spread his doctrine under the 'first past the post' system of elected representation that the UK and the USA use, nobody would ever have heard of him. Of course, there are folks trying to get Britain to change to using a PR system in future...
Everyday,
I think about dying.
About disease, starvation,
violence, terrorism, war,
the end of the world.
It helps
keep my mind off things.

A World War II topic? Oh, I love these.

Actually, I think EVO is a satire of the Cold War, from a Western European point of view.
Voinia = USSR
U.E. = Western Europe
Miranu = America
Strand = Middle East
Emalgha = Hungary? Baltic States?
I actually wrote an essay about this for EV-Dev.net, a proposed website that never made it. I'll try to see if I can dig it up, its pretty interesting.

Emalgha=Baltic States, yes, thats true.
But with the right plug-ins it does seem to be a WWII type sceneario.
