What's also funny about Rome/China is that, if you look at poetry dating around the time of Augustus, you get stuff like, "AND WE'RE GONNA TAKE OVER INDIA AND CHINA~ YAAAAAAY~" If you've ever seen a map of Rome (I believe it was its biggest under Hadrian: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c1/Roman_Empire_under_Hadrian.png ), you can see that it's nowhere near India and China; they couldn't deal with the Parthians, much less the Chinese (it took me a moment to realize why spell check hates "Parthians"). So in other words, in this pairing anyway, CHINA actually tops, despite being the girlier of the two. :'D

Blast, I forgot about that. XD However like I said, I blame you! Especially since you are one of the few who seem to read my posts. :3

Your icon makes me wonder why Rome is darker skinned than his grandchildren... Is it time to draw up the Italy family tree again? XD

[vale_puella]

Lulz, Rome is darker because they didn't have nice things like air conditioning and sun screen back then. :'Db

Also, they all wore skirts. Not even kidding. Only freaks wore pants. >.>

[nagirinara]

Yeah, I remember that part. We still need to draw up that family tree and pull out some history books. :3
