Ah, but remember...

Not really the same thing.

Louisiana’s economic problems can be attributed to how its resources are managed. Were are taking as our basic assumption that at some point in the 1990s New Colonia implemented a successful development program in the vein of South Korea, so it’s not much of a stretch to assume that New Colonia managed and invested…

I cannot find this Leor Danal fellow anywhere in Wookieepedia, only Leor Hal.

South Korea managed with only 1/4 of the territory New Colonia would have.

Why would you compare New colonia to sub-Saharan Africa? Just because of the racial makeup of the population?

The synopsis tells us that they’re acknowledging the fact.

Your idea fails to take into account just how fucking racist everyone was back then.

Wasn’t New Orleans one of the largest richest cities in the US and one of it’s most important ports at the time?

The World of Ice and Fire (p. 26)

The fact that the ruins of Valyria (the city) still exist in the middle of it all works against that theory.

The consensus theory which results from combining what the kindly man told Arya with one of the theories mentioned by Maester Yandel in the World of Ice and Fire is that the Valyrians used magic to artificially keep the Fourteen Flames from erupting, but the Faceless Men killed most of the sorcerers whose job it was…

Counterpoint.

I’m guessing that bit probably lost something in translation.

I’ve preordered the Jim C. Hines one. I liked his Princess Series.

Willas and Garlan were adapted out on the show.

It looks that way, but if one looks closer, the argument can be made that she didn’t plan most of this.

The first two wouldn’t work at all unless you pushed the POD way farther into the past.

The problem with that book is that it starts pretty good but the further he gets on the timeline, the shittier it gets.

I remember that series.
