D2k Sardaukar Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 A little off topic, but I just got this idea that over probably 100 years it will be; "He who controls the oceans will be powerful."

Dunenewt Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Incidentally, (Soviet) Russia is known as House Steel, and USA as House Washington, UK as House Windsor, Japan as House Nippon, House Abraham as Israel, House De Gaulle as France (although before I'm guessing the French Revolution it was called House Bourbon, it is not mentioned what it is called in between then, perhaps House Napoleon?), People's Republic of China as House Zedong, House Ghandi (sic) as India, and House Ul-Haq as Pakistan.
