I just learned that my late grandfather's hometown is the place where Pakistan's median time is standardized as it's the first place where the sun rises. I've only visited it once in 2007.

Ive become really interested lately in the history of countries. How they formed and how the world may look in the future and how other countries almost formed. I'm not sure if they would of been countries or more Sovereign states but apparently France and Britain almost formed a single state together during the war. France actually were the ones that pulled out because they would rather be ruled by nazi germany than Britain because at least they knew they were getting. Also if the american civil war had gone a different way its possible there would have  been a maga state formed called the golden circle which would have had Mexico and large parts of south America in it. It would have made slavery easier. 

I'm still learning though so if I'm wrong dont hammer me
