Albion of course  :bowler:

But closer than you may think, the heart says Napoleon..........so much more fun than those British bores.................but the head says that till the ogre was chained Europe would enjoy no peace at all.

Surprised the vote is so close. I was expecting Languish to go overwhelmingly in the British favour.

Despite shitting the bed by crowning himself Emperor, at least he did it by his own hand.
And I will always stand by my revolutionary brethren anyhow.

We have a lot of Napoleonic fans here.  I'm a bit conflicted on that one, though.  I don't really know enough about the time period to make a good choice.  I've been meaning to study more about the Napoleonic wars (and the French Revolution).
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Only very slightly supportive, though.  I'd make a good Bernadotte.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Bernadotte ended up king.  Napoleon ended up exiled and poisoned to death.

Seems like Bernadotte won that round.

WTF is the actual question?  Britain or France, 1799-1814/15?  They both sucked and there's a higher than normal chance of me catching a musket ball in the face.  Pass.
