When it comes to disasters, the Federal government's job is to write checks- they're the gov't equivalent of homeowner's insurance. You may wish it were otherwise, but that is not how it is currently set up.

Hmm, I get 1 or 2 for the US depending on whether 'last century' means the 20th Century or the last 100 years. Current Chinese government has started more than that against just against other Chinese.

For commercial roguelikes, sure, but the roguelike community overall really is a hobbyist community. It mostly seems to consist of developers who have come to the realization that while CRUD and web apps have been a good way to pay the mor

Dutchess County is Greater Appalachia, but I don't know that I'd say the industrial northern part is. Colorado as a Far West state makes little sense- where the people live is mostly Left Coast, with El Norte in the Southern part
