Welcome to Europeia!
So what the heck is Europeia anyways?

Can I join?

So, I came here representing another region? I do not want to become a citizen. Where should I go?

What offices are there for people to be elected into?

What is there for me to do in Europeia?

That answers most of my immediate questions. What if I have any more?

This is the current poll for Balder. I think it's a great discussion. Star Wars ruled the cinema while Star Trek ruled television and Dune series lords over books. Did you know that Dune is the most sold science fiction ever? Incredible stuff.

For me, the answer is easily Dune. Despite never having a great Big Screen presence, it remains one of if not the most influential science fiction books of all time.

What I loved most about the prequels was the whole concept of the machine and human war. It's fantastic.

I also kind of love the ones about the prelude as well. The ones that play 30-40 years before the first Dune.

Yeah. One is called House Artreides. One is called House Harkonnen and one is called House Corrino. Its great. You should read them. It sets the scene really well for the original dune. Plus you get to see thing you never see before. Like you get to see inside Ix and you get to see the Harkonnens back on their planet, which is basically like a dictators wet dream. And you get to see Duncan Idaho young and Pauls Grandpa Paulus Artreides and a young Leto. Its awesome. :D

I enjoyed the parts covering the elder Kines, and Duncan's training, as well as giving a lot more time to the original Leto. Still the prequels don't measure to the originals.
