I think the bigger question would be "What would the national language be?"

I'd vote Esperanto for that one.

I vote Latin. Many of today's world languages are based on Latin, so learning it wouldn't be too hard for new settlers or immigrants.

I say somewhere in the German-speaking world! After all, that's where Asperger's was discovered.

Well, Esperanto is based off of a lot of languages that are based off of Latin...and the grammar is a lot easier and COMPLETELY constant. None of this "i before e except after c" business
:wink:

If we didn't stick with English: we'd probably do just as well to invent our own (read that somebody was doing that).

Latin is a language
As dead as dead can be.
It killed the mighty Romans,
And now it's killing me.

Actually, it's a very logical language, and I enjoyed studying it for two years at my middle school. Good stuff.

Yup. They call it "AutLang".

Living in Antarctica involves being in very close quarters with the same people every day.

I voted New Zealand. It doesn't actually get that much colder in the southern part of the South Island than it does in many other places. And only occasionally snows at ground level. (Which is a bit disappointing, actually.)

There were suggestions that we all move to Japan.

Reasons why this would be good: Japanese people don't expect eye contact all the time, and bow more than shake hands. And Japan has a most excellent popular culture.

Reasons why this would be not so good: Japanese culture dictates that you should not say exactly what you mean, and it's very hard to get anywhere with the bureaucrats. (Even harder than in other places.)

And they are always reluctant to welcome outsiders.

This is why, although I like Japan, I personally like living in New Zealand better.

Japan is overpopulated as it is; I voted New Zealand also.

We can always use a B-29 and a atom-bomb to fix that problem.

I'd say we should set up a floating canal in the medditerreanian sea, which could also connect europe to africa. This would also be strategic for trade options between the two continents, and seeing as the canal would be our nation, we'd reap the benefits from it. The canal would definately be eirable and the land fertile, I say we should use esperanto or Latin for a language as well. Plus we'd have plenty of warm weather.

I chose New Zealand, for there are warm places there, but also snow (anwyway, according to LotR, there is)
