GPS & Populations : 2 for 1 sale!

GPS - Thanks for the info folks. My only run in 
with GPS was as we were looking at using it for 
the RCMP and that was going to require 
probably a differential (multi) receiver unit for 
use in the far north. 

Populations - RE: NAC - It seems to me the UN 
activities in the core prevent a "take out" of the 
NAC, and it seems quite likely to me that the 
average NAC taxpayer is as self-centered as 
they are today, meaning they really aren't 
interested in throwing a big chunk of GNP at the 
ESU colonies (after all, what does it matter if 
you're living on Terra?) Also, there may well be 
those who want to limit the size of gov't/military 
in the NAC (former 'Mericans?) and there may 
be a chunk of their military/etc. still involved in 
keeping a handle on South and Central America. 
Add one more factor: Participation from the 
South or Central American populations may well 
be less than 100%. And also the people of 
former North America and even Britain may well 
be casualty averse to the point where foreign 
adventurism is only undertaken under near-
duress conditions. Defend themselves, hell yeah. 
Finish the job on the ESU.... not today, thanks, 
we're having tea. 

PS - Beth, given what OO has recently posted 
to the list from the GZG catalog regarding the 
UN, would you care to posit some revised 
figures on UN population base?
