[Freeciv-Dev] Re: A patch for 4 new nations

["Mike Jing" <miky40@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Jan,

I am sure your effort in contributing to the Freeciv project is appreciated 
by all.  But still, I have to respectfully disagree on adding the Taiwanese 
as a new nation.  First of all, I don't see any demand for a Taiwanese 
nation, so your first argument doesn't apply.  Secondly, you can't compare 
Taiwanese with Mordor or Dunedain.  It's not a fantasy nation.  In fact, 
it's not a nation at all.  Its offical name is Republic of China, and its 
people is still Chinese.  It is not a new nation, not even in the sense as 
used in Freeciv.  Finally, I just want to remind you again that not that 
long ago Germany was divided into two countries.  I don't suppose you would 
make two nations for the Germans as well, would you?
Sorry for dwelling on this subject, and I don't want to drag politics into 
the game we all love.  But as a Chinese, I feel that I should set the record 
straight on this issue.
Best regards,

Mike
