From what I've researched it was about the same size in land mass as the mongal empire but took over more continents. Wikipedia actually says britains land mass was larger but only by a fraction.
Well, the China has 3.5 times as many people now as all of British Empire, including India, ever did. China now is more populous than the height of british empire by a factor about the same as british empire was over Mongol empire. In fact, at its height, China also had a far larger proportion of the world's population (35% vs 20%) than Britian.
Mongols and the Romans also conquerored a greater fraction of the people that was there to be conquered than ever did the British.
But you're combining 3 different civilizations with one, using the empire land mass of the mongols, The amount of people under Roman rule, and Chinas population.
All that matters is that more people were ruled over by the British empire, more technology was produced during the British empire, and this argument is fairly stupid anyway because it's a theoretical argument I came up with based on "What if life was like the computer game civilization" So I don't know why you seem to be so passionate about it. But since you are taking it so seriously Britain would easily win since all the civilizations you're using are ancient ones, except china who would lose out anyway based on pollution, overcrowding and the fact they had Hong Kong taken away from them.
Quote:It's kind of ironic that if you go far enough back in time all of us have a common ancestors. All those civilizations are responsible for us being where we are today. All those civilizations were populated by our own relatives.
It's funny how we argue and discuss whose dick is bigger and we're all cut from the same mold.
If you're talking about my comparing of civilizations that's just something I did for fun my ego isn't involved in this at all, I know my ancestors are from Poland and Russia and I am English and was born here but I don't feel pride in what the British empire did because it isn't my achievement I just happen to have been born here.
But I do find it fucking amazing if you look at the size of Britain, then think about how many people speak English, how many places have been colonized by Britain, how many things were invented by British inventors. But when I bring this topic up people interject with things like "HEY BUT EGYPT INVENTED PLOUGHS!!!!!!!!!" So what?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
