We're from all corners of the world here. I'm sure you must love the place you live in, right now. So if you had to choose one single picture to characterize your place of residence with, which one would it be? Show it here and explain why it's the most characteristic sight for your town.

You could also add one for the town where you were born, in case it's different from your current one.

Mine:

Place of birth:
Hafnarfjörður, Iceland --

A re-enactment of a Viking fight at the annual Viking games.

Place of residence:
Uppsala, Sweden --


The Uppsala university, which gives the old capital the typical small-town charm.

Your turn now!

In Up With the Star there is an inverse Citadel along the Oder River followed by US Grant IV attacking the Russians from the north and Nathan Bedford Forrest III spanking Zhukov in the south. Tsarist Russia develops the Bomb first and has Moar Mnogo Nukes, though I might note that like the Soviet program the Tsarist nuke program was run by the Okhrana under Roman Ungern-Sternberg (i.e. the Tsarist secret police is run by somebody as nasty as Beria). The Central Powers program has also produced its first Nuke.

The LULZ comes in from the unfortunate situation where my ATL WWII lacks any means, even with a general atomic war, for either the Eastern Alliance of Nations or the Central Powers to defeat each other.

The phrase "Now we are all sons of bitches" is spoken by one of the physicists from Japan working in the international Nu-Manhattan Project (because Russia can bomb Japan, the UK, and Germany but will invade the US lower 48 when Hell freezes over). Roman Ungern-Sternberg, on the other hand, says "Magnificent Desolation."

On the other hand, the Central Powers have a temporary advance in Messerschmits and Meteors against Russian propeller aircraft....

Do you want to put up a post in t_p_n where you can update the story through edits instead of putting up bits here every week? I can put it in the sidebar so we have constant access to it.

It'd be a great deal of updates, but yes I would like that. It's on another site and I'd be posting a lot just to get everything already up, if that's all right?
