So I volunteered to become the emissary to Philosophy 115, got appointed, and shortly after that I was asked for a brief history of 10KI...which kinda put me on the spot.
The thing is- there doesn't seem to be a history anywhere. I've looked. Ananke's looked. We have a vast archive of historical documents. We also have some historical accounts of particular events, notably Grub's Early History of TITO. But no historical overview.
Anyway, a historical overview of TKI seems to me to be a fine project to work on, so I'm gonna try to write one. I'm a real greenhorn here though, so I'll need a good deal of help, especially from the old timers who shaped the events that have created the great region that exists today. And lets not forget that this is a great region- I've seen enough of NS to know that theres nowhere else like it; the uniqueness of 10KI is something that I'll try to stress.
It seems to me that there are a number of elements that should be included:
- Demographics. The growth of 10KI, and how it has fared demographically compared to other regions. No extra input required here- I know where to find the data.
- Military History. TITO is a lot of what makes 10KI what it is. What I'd like here is an overview of which major raiding regions we were dealing with when. For example, I believe that we were involved in a protracted struggle with DEN, which ended with their collapse. ( ;D ) I'd also like a couple of choice military anecdotes.
- Political History. The dates of elections etc are readily available. What I'd like here is a few good anecdotes, and reminiscences of what it was like to be (say) WA delegate or Immigration Minister in the past.
- History of the Forum. This doesn't seem to be documented at all- at least not that I can find. Any input is appreciated.
So...many thanks in advance to everyone for their help. This thread should make interesting reading.
