RE: Powers That Be

Well, my reason for choosing Scots/Irish/Celts in general had to do with
my 
own ancestry.  But if they've been done to death, I have another group
in 
mind.  And since THAT group is American, perhaps I can say they were an 
American colony before the American inclusion in the NAC (THIS is why I
need 
to know the history), and they just never accepted inclusion.  I had
even 
considered that route with my Gaelic colonies.
