Last important in the Napoleonic Wars to stop French Raiders from having a base against the EIC in India.

Absolutely nothing to do with us


Is there ANY place, no matter how remote, that ISNT our responsibility to "Refugees, Welcome"?!

Asylum seekers from Mauritius are allowed in our country by our American government workers, not Mauritians or Mauritian government.

Even better, I think it’s Mauritanians. You know, the place in west Sahara that officially outlawed slavery in 2007 (which continues to this day)?

I think so too, I relistened and it Mauritinia, not Mauritus.

Still, every asspit in the world.

Mauritania is home the Richat Structure in Africa, a mysterious geologic ringed structure that some think represents the remains of the ancient City of Atlantis. The wonders of Google earth show Muritania as a vast ancient alluvial flood plain which at some point emanated from some site either in ancient Africa or the Mediterranean.

Anyway, it is a generally dangerous, murderous and violent place, so any immigrants aren't exactly going to be what you want camping out across the street from your children's schools.

So the Atlanteans pissed off another alien race, who then used collapsed antimatter (CAM) to sink the entire Atlantean civilization into the earth. Perhaps they were getting too advanced? Time for a restart.

I think CAM was first used by Iain Banks in his Culture Novels. Best galaxy-building SF bar none.
