I mean Scotland Yard is just the Met, like the London Metropolitan Police. They aren't a federal force, although locals do call them feds. The NYPD is the largest employer of intelligence operators in the world, it's not like the RCMP is unique in running a CIP division.

So, not a lot of detail as this is a shit post account, but I mocked up a vector based system to use rather than grids which allows a city builder to run smoother and lighter on ram instead of basically being a giant spread sheet. Each path was a single vector and a data tree ties all the information to a single point on an infinitely divisible grid. It allowed a game to be more complex, and allowed for better road and other building elements.

I gave it away for free, hoping someone, anyone with more time on their hands would use it. Paradox now owns the rights to that system, they aren't using it, but they are likely making sure noone else does.

What's so bad about dropping grids and right angles, why can't a building be a shape other than square? Because it's cheaper to do and easier to mod.

If I ever have the time I'll whip something up in unreal as a demonstration. The original was unfortunately built in unity. The whole point was to allow buildings to follow curved roads.

Because the Canadian federal government is just three resource companies in a trench coat.

Unfortunately it is also still the relavent medical term in Canada and the US, and anywhere that uses the DSM for mental health diagnostics. Blame the APA.

I have an idea for an Anti India activity we could partake in, they assassinated a Canadian in Canada. Sounds like grounds for some saber rattling over NATO article 50, maybe some vague threats to India, and a renewed investment in our armed forces. Sends a message, avoids any real violence, and gives the governments of either country an easy out.
