[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8942727, member: 29398"] Most replies I could possibly write to that would probably trample all over the no-politics rule. :) The one thing I can point out is that while Canada functions (more or less) as a liberal democracy in practice, it is in fact still technically a monarchy, answering to King Charles. Which means, where the deeper you dig into the foundations of TTRPGs the more similar they come to look (culminating in their all meeting at the baseline play loop I posted upthread), the deeper you dig into the foundations of Amreican and Canadian political systems the more different they become at their core. Put another way: in TTRPGs you've got surface-level differences but the deep-lying foundation under it all is similar. In politics you've got the reverse: surface-level similarities built up from very different foundations. [/QUOTE]
