GPS & Populations : 2 for 1 sale!

GPS - Thanks for the info folks. My only run in
with GPS was as we were looking at using it for the RCMP and that was going to
require probably a differential (multi) receiver unit for use in the far
north.

Populations - RE: NAC - It seems to me the UN
activities in the core prevent a "take out" of the NAC, and it seems quite
likely to me that the
average NAC taxpayer is as self-centered as
they are today, meaning they really aren't interested in throwing a big chunk
of GNP at the ESU colonies (after all, what does it matter if you're living on
Terra?) Also, there may well be
those who want to limit the size of gov't/military
in the NAC (former 'Mericans?) and there may
be a chunk of their military/etc. still involved in
keeping a handle on South and Central America. Add one more factor:
Participation from the South or Central American populations may well be less
than 100%. And also the people of former North America and even Britain may
well be casualty averse to the point where foreign
adventurism is only undertaken under near-
duress conditions. Defend themselves, hell yeah. Finish the job on the ESU....
not today, thanks, we're having tea.

PS - Beth, given what OO has recently posted
to the list from the GZG catalog regarding the UN, would you care to posit
some revised figures on UN population base?

Tomb.

G'day Tom,
