Talk:Jelgava

You know, I just realized something: Jelgava is really a parallel of Spain during the Napoleonic Wars. I've often thought it was just a loose Low Countries analog, and I suppose it does rather fulfill that (what with Algarve aerial bombing it into submission), but Algarve has to cross a mountain range that forms a natural border (like France crossed the Pyranees), the government was obnoxious (the Spaniards were still running the Inquisition), and Mezentio makes his brother king (just as Nap put his brother Joe on the Spanish throne).

So the person who claimed Jelgava=Spain forever and ever ago was right, but did a piss-poor job of explaining the parallels. TR 04:58, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
