awesome! if you want it you can have it! and also i found this really neat mug that this kinda map on it and it says "The London Tube" on it. and London is the most important city in England right?

[His time has come.]

I wouldn't necessarily say that London is the most important city in my country, but it is my capital. A nation's capital is usually where its seat of government is, so it is, indeed, vital to smoothly running a nation. You could say that London is my heart.

[England just can't say it's the most important city because he can't pick favourites.]

What you've got is a map of the London Underground, which is a public transit system for the people that live in the capital and in the general area. It's a type of railway, and was the first of its kind, at that.

[He's just going to leave it at that, at first, but then he remembers he's talking to a child and thinks of something cooler to add.]

A lot of the rails are underground.

[It's a pity England can't see Quark's face light up. For a second the whole murder business is wiped out of his head.]

wow!!!! thats really really really cool! thank you for telling me about it!
ive never been underground before
is it scary??
and is it called a tube because it's shaped like one?

[keepscalm]

Depends on why you're underground.

[It sure sucked to be down there because he was getting the absolute hell bombed out of him!]

But most of the time it's not scary. People use the Tube every day to travel to and from work. It's called "the Tube" because the tunnels through which the trains travel are sort of tube-shaped, yes.

that makes sense!
thanks for telling me this stuff mr England
your country is really neat and i wish i could visit it.

[But maybe he'll just have to content himself with hearing stories. Well, he definitely will.]

[keepscalm]

[Oh no his heart...]

Thank you for saying so. I wish you could, as well; it's really a remarkable place.

I do have a couple of pictures that I was able to find here. Would you like to see them?
