Ancient Greece was not in any way sexually repressed. Plautus: I've read that Julius was called "queen" by his rivals for a homosexual encounter in a number of (modern) histories.

Well, as someone who studies sociology of religion (at the moment), I can think of quite a few examples of religious organizations in the Mojave Wasteland. I don't think that from a sociological perspective supernatural belief is a necessary component of religious worship (the Raelians, for...

Yes, I was thinking around that number, or perhaps slightly higher at 50,000. Of course it won't be very high because this is post-apocalyptia rather than a thousand-year-old tabula rasa.

Yes, that's an argument for having less than millions of citizens, but ancient cities managed to have far higher populations than just 3,000 with worse medicine and lower life expectancies. Even Paris at the height of constant war and disease under the Merovingians had more than 20,000 (and...

Yes, this hits the nail on the head. And to be honest the chances of a "second Chernobyl" are next to zero. Chernobyl only happened because of a series of insanely stupid errors, even the prerequisites of which are no longer present in many modern plants. Most of the news about Fukushima...

I just wanted to note here that I thought the entire point was that Caesar's Legion has very little to do with the actual Roman Empire? Arcade Gannon, if you query him about Latin, talks about the Legion being a poor mimic of the Empire. Caesar himself thinks that he's a "King of the Gauls"...
