A pleasure to meet you Gul Dukat

I was teeing up "so you play as America" but I'm really enjoying the mental image of Dukat as a Civ leader.

Australia has plenty of culture. Here's a brief list of their greatest contributions:
Knifey-spoony game
VB
Ensuring Americans are not the most nationally embarrassing tourist groups in Bali
Outback Steakhouse
Baz Luhrman, author of the timeless play Romeo and Juliet
The weirdest of football games
The critically acclaimed action movie series set in a gritty, post-apocalyptic desert, The Wizard of Oz

Crocodile Dundee, and his hated nemesis the Crocodile Hunter.

Australia’s given the world a lot, but they also gave us Mel Gibson.

It truly is a land of contrasts.

gonna move to Weird Australia and run one of those 13 seat movie theaters where we have rocky horror showings on the weekend and everyone dresses up in costume for Kaiju Saturdays . i bet that would be really nice. you could take the whole family out and still have enough dosh for a nice cuppa afterwards.

do australioids drink tea? or is it just like, they leave a leaf in a cup and set it outside and that becomes tea.

Australians are possibly unique in people who will drink tea and coffee variously depending on what they feel like at that moment

I was going to defend Australia by saying at least they gave us a couple of pretty cool TV shows. Then, I realized that both of those shows are from New Zealand.

Australia is just a worse New Zealand.
