Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted December 28, 2003 The U.S? Nobody's referred to that for 400 years! :o (I'm posting in character. B) ) The U.S. is not a country but France is? Nowhere have I heard the United States ceased to exist. Good point, it was late. B) However, I figured that Trek's portrayal of our future, the U.S. would be referred to by individual states rather as the United States. I guess the USA would be arround, but people would refer to a state as they would a country. Make sense? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theunicornhunter 2 Posted December 28, 2003 Lots of characters didn't have birthplaces listed but it is interesting to see countries listed for some non-American born characters but not for American born. Isn't that interesting. I tried to see if I could find any Canadian or Mexican characters tp see how they were listed. I think one of the ensigns in "Lower Decks" was from Canada but there was no birthplace listed. The reasoning may be something benign like they only have so many character spaces. Still it seems a bit odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theunicornhunter 2 Posted December 28, 2003 I did a search at Startrek.com and found the words the United States in the TOS episode the Omego Glory. I'd have to rewatch it but I remember Kirk quotes the Constitution. A United Earth could have separate countries just as the United States has several states or Canada has provinces. What does NWO mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A l t e r E g o 9 Posted December 28, 2003 New World Order, I believe. Correct. I did a search at Startrek.com and found the words the United States in the TOS episode the Omego Glory. I'd have to rewatch it but I remember Kirk quotes the Constitution. Yeah but if I remember correctly that's in a "past" tense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fenriz275 0 Posted March 11, 2004 I seem to remember a certain team from Louisville (with a certain head coach formerly from UK by the way of Boston) beating a certain team from Lexington. The rest of you will have to forgive us but in Kentucky basketball borders on religion, and this is a rivalry thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
