Colony
In modern parlance, a colony is a territory subject to a form of foreign rule.

This administrative colonial separation makes colonies neither incorporated territories nor client states. Some colonies have been organized either as dependent territory, dependent territories that are Chapter XI of the United Nations Charter, not sufficiently self-governed, or as self-governing colony, self-governed colonies controlled by settler colonialism, colonial settlers.

His original plan was to make a '90s version of ''The Dark Side of the Moon'', which would cover similar ground to ''Virtual Rabbit''. Sometime afterward, he came up with the idea of the , a role-playing game held in an overseas country for members of his official fan club Hirasawa Bypass. It was decided that it would happen in the Thai city of Phuket, since the airplane trip would be short and it didn't have a lot of Japanese tourism; because of that lack of Japanese reference, Hirasawa took a trial visit to see if it would be a good place for the tour, his first time in the country. He had no idea what to expect and had something like the Vietnam War in mind, but on that night he attended a show at th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Objects sometimes seem to possess a will of their own anyhow, to the normal mind; they don't do what they're supposed to do, they get in the way, they show an unnatural ...
