thats not really shocking, New England has always been the G.O.P.'s heart land, only the Irish of Boston or Providence vote for the Reb party (OCC: Democrats)
The Democrats don't win too many states other then the south and sometimes the Midwest.
so thats why they never get married! I knew the Papists were strange, Luck we've managed to keep a good WASP majority in all our New England states, unlike poor New York, the city is over run with those foreigners and the city out numbers those good up state towns
Are you sure it was the 10th century? I thought it was the 12th for some reason.
I've only seen one Priest in my life. The Priest of Chicago, back when he ran for Mayor in the '80s. I heard they're down to 600 worldwide.
People say they're going to remove the castration requirement. I say, "Good luck with that." I think we're all fine with Deacons doing the sermons.
Did you know that in the 18th and 19th century, several Russian Tzars attempted to domesticate bears so they could be used as cavalry?
And Mississippi has never voted Republican (unless you count reconstruction era)
Well, they did vote Republican in 1984. But that was only because the Dems split.

Ah. But I thought the current president was a Cannoness or something. She's always wearing a Habit. Or was that some movie?
FUN FACTS ABOUT ITALY
The Confederation of Italy is the only state in which the role of Head of State is shared by a council of several individuals (1). To make things even more nearly ASB, the people who are in this council can be either hereditary monarchs or elected "Presidents" (2).
(1) The council is called "High Council of Italy" and has almost only ceremonial value. But in their respective confederal states, the members act as proper Heads of State with various powers according to the local Constitutions.
(2) They are: King of Sardinia, King of Tavolara, Doge of Genoa, Prince of Seborga, Duke of Milan, Doge of Venice, Rector of Ragusa, Duke of Parma, Duke of Modena, Duke of Massa, Duke of Lucca, Grand Duke of Tuscany, Consul of Latium (2), Duke of Adriazia, Captain Regent of San Marino (2), Prince of Pontecorvo, Prince of Benevento, King of Naples, King of Sicily.
The duty of having diplomatic encounters with foreign Heads of State is selected by lot among the members of the High Council, as is the role of chief of the Armed Forces.
The High Council had the Pope himself as one of its members from 1831 to 1991, when the Pope, John Paul I, voluntarily renounced to his seat. Current Pope Benedict XVI has made clear that the Church has renounced to secular power altogether. (ATL Popes, obviously).
Eritrea, Tripolitania, Cyrenaica and Fezzan voted to remain part of Italy as Associated States instead of becoming independent. There is a sizeable movement in Eritrea who longs for complete statehood and a seat in the High Council. A referendum in 2015 will settle the question.
FUN FACTS ABOUT THE WORLD
The State of Israel has been described by various sources as the most progressive theocracy in the world, and one of the richest nations in America.
It also has to thank the Spanish for its existence. They were the ones that used Cuba as a dumping ground for the religious minorities of the Kingdom.
The Cuban language reflects that, since it is an ungodly mixture of Hebrew, Arabian and Spanish, complete with influences from English, Portuguese, Dutch and German. Fortunately, the official languages are Biblical Hebrew and English.

Do you now that the Islamic world has a such a strong tradition of eroticism that covering hair in public is considered a crime in some countries, and dressing modestly can have severe repercussions? Western Feminists criticise this culture of 'compulsory objectification.' In particular, the continued and widespread practice of keeping women in Harems has shocked Western sensibilities.

It's not that hard.
Also, you forgot to mention the Basque (well, it's a contributor to Spanish, like Arabian, and Vulgar Latin,) and Taino influences, and if you think that's bad, the Augustin Creole is even worse.
Did you know that Balmoral Castle is still the technical Royal Capital of Britain even though it is now a ruin after it was destroyed by the short lived Scottish People's Republic? (it was moved there after the London communists seized Buckingham Palace, Windsor castle and Sandiringham.)
