I was born in Spain, but my parents moved to Germany when I was 3 years old. I
have 2 Spanish grandmothers, a German and an English grandfather. We used to
speak Spanish at home.

Let's hope so.

Well, in the world of 2183, ancestors will be even more mixed up than they are
now. You could easily have an NSL commander named Mehmet Demirkan. Or, even
better: Ali Müller or Fritz Arsladoglou. Or a ship named after such a
commander from the past (our future). Note all the
funny Austro-Hungarian ship names. The same for the FSE or NAC, of
course.

And it is extra inspiration for FMA scenarios: various ethnic groups at
each others throats. Add in colonists/terran animosities and you can
have pretty wild mixes.
