Why am I still not on the list? Was I disqualified somehow? Do you not like me?
Here's my fact...since...I don't know...I'm going to assume that it was a mistake...and that I'm still in...I hope...
Madagascar became a French colony in 1896, but regained its independence in 1960.

The population is 18,040,341. (At least that was the July 2005 estimate.)

And another fact for good measure (same source):
The religions on Madagascar are: indigenous beliefs 52%, Christian 41%, Muslim 7%

What!? You dare insult my magnificent name!!!!????
Anyway, I don't see your name on the list anyway Locke. How would you give your position to me if you don't have one?
If he was on does this mean I get to respawn after I fell in battle?

Just in under the wire -
Madagascar has a rather pathetic literacy rate of 68.9%, perhaps indicative of this generation's struggle for political equity.

You should check to see who's responded! Don't give up. I think Kura hasn't crossed the line yet, either.

Madagascar lies in the Indian Ocean off the southeast coast of Africa opposite Mozambique. The world's fourth-largest island, it is twice the size of Arizona. The country's low-lying coastal area gives way to a central plateau. The once densely wooded interior has largely been cut down.

Unless I'm incorrect again, Kuro Ookami is eliminated. Good showing, though, reaching this far.
