what is this

It's referring to a dictator who was a character in Wiz's EU:Rome Crete LP. It had an extensive audience parliamentary system, which people took kinda seriously.

Camels were used by the US Army in the southwest for a short period before the American Civil War. They got set loose or auctioned off afterwards and sightings persisted until the 1890s.

Emigrants of some form from Canada.

This map can go gently caress itself. I thought of about ten differents things it might be but all of them were destroyed by some bizarre details or another.

Other ideas don't hold up, no Gobi no Atacama etc. Probably more indigenous tribes in South America than anywhere else.

My best guess is where a certain crop is grown. Something that grows really well in hot dry places. Except what would that be.

Camels have been in Australia for well over a hundred years.
They're a pest, we try to kill them.

Is there anything about Australian fauna that isn't hosed up? Don't you have killing campaigns against cats/rabbits/toads/emus too?

Camels are huge cunts though

If it's related to the Hmong, and it's not about hunting, it's about refugees.

Number of Syrian refugees. (It's not Somalian refugees because Maine is gray)

e: wait, the data are from fifteen years ago. My next guess is refugees from the Balkans.

Australia is unique in that it's a massive gently caress off island. It's why we have Emus, Kangaroos and countless more unique things.Problems start occurring when humans get involved. You introduce massive amounts of grazing land, Kangaroo population explodes. You put Camels into an area the size of Germany with no natural predators and no overseeing, the Camel population explodes. You put Rabbits in an area with the ideal climate with no natural predators and minimal human interference, the Rabbit population explodes.

Speaking of maps, I haven't posted one.

Try not to cheat, answer is on this page though.

Wiki posted:

After the withdrawal, Major Meredith compared the emus to Zulus and commented on the striking maneuverability of the emus, even while badly wounded.

If we had a military division with the bullet-carrying capacity of these birds it would face any army in the world... They can face machine guns with the invulnerability of tanks. They are like Zulus whom even dum-dum bullets could not stop.
