Urgent Update - diplomacy in Geographic perspective;

Urgent 5t Update - Canada has recently been able to accommodate China in a diplomatic request. By observing that Texas seems to have over-reached earth in its Imperial ambitions, they have asked Canada to bring to the Official attention of Texas that the their Constitution specifically forbids Hegemons. This necessitated a trip directly to the dictionary for the relevant Texan. Having used his knowledge of the alphabet to locate and read the relevant definition, he was able to respond that this was a paradox. If Texas takes over the Inner Solar System, this represents an entrepreneurial effort of an LLC, and a mere business endeavor. But if China tries to tell Texas how to read their own constitution, there are two World powers, and neither one qualifies as a Hegemon. The implied argument, writ large in the small print of the response was "the more, the merrier." Interplanetary Diplomacy is not the only competition Texas is interested to employ for a system of checks and balances. From the language of the news article, the conversation seems to have turned to a discussion of how many languages the representative could speak. While the Chinese Representative argued for competency in two or more, the Texan said he knew at least one word in fully ten languages. The Chinaman reviewed the list with special attention to the Texan's claimed command of Chinese itself. The list was: Italy, pizza; Russia, borst; Poland, sausage; China, food; Canada, bacon; Texan, tea; Mexican, chimmichanga; British, tea; S. Africa, Rand; and Gallopogos, monitor. His diplomatic response was that as a concept it was undeniably important, but with specific attention to wording, there were Chinese school children with a better command of language. This made the Texan blush with pride... the Chinese did not usually reply directly to his claims of sovereignty. They parted amicably.
