What is your opinion on the subject.

It's SFRY by me. Nostalgia always sweeps over me when i hear this song:

Od Vardara pa do Triglava
od Djerdapa pa do Jadrana
kao niska sjajnog Djerdana
svijetlim suncem obasjana
ponosito sred Balkana
Jugoslavijo, Jugoslavijo

Sirom sveta put me vodio
za sudbom sam svojom hodio
u srcu sam tebe nosio
uvek si mi draga bila
domovino moja mila
Jugoslavijo, Jugoslavijo

Volim tvoje reke i gore
tvoje sume, polja i more
volim tvoje ljude ponosne
i ratara i pastira
u frulicu kad zasvira
Jugoslavijo, Jugoslavijo

Krv se mnoga zate prolila
borba te je nasa rodila
radnicka te ruka stvorila
zivi sretna u slobodi
ljubav nasa nek te vodi
Jugoslavijo, Jugoslavijo

It has existed in millions of peoples minds, if not in real life.

Why have you gone for Japan over China?

I'd say Ancient China has a good claim to be up there alongside Greece

by **unriggable** on Thu Dec 06, 2007 7:15 pm

I'd say roman empire, if you are comparing it to the rest of the world at the time the living conditions were as good as they get.

But if you compare them to eachother then the US.

The Chinese wont be happy... :lol:

I voted for the Brits out of patriotism, and cos it was probably the most liberal empire.
But (seriously, and with respect to Harry Lime) i'd go for Switzerland.
Genuine pacifists, which is very rare.

history review:

At the outset of its creation and the Cold War, Yugoslavia's Communist regime allied with the Soviet Union under Josef Stalin and early on in the Cold War shot down two American airplanes flying over Yugoslav airspace on August 9 and August 19 of 1946.

Yugoslavia vs USA

USA. Number One!
USA. Number One!

definitely ancient China, which you forgot!!!!
Fireworks, paper, silk, and compass are all products of ancient China..w00t!
However, a glorious past does not reflect the present, most sadly...
Second to ancient China is the US, which I voted for due to the unfortunate absence of a great civilization
