This a small island that has seen robust economic growth with a government not recognized by the United Nations. Contrary to what many rowdy Taiwanese teenagers living in the United States believe, many Taiwanese people do not want to push for independence. In fact during the recent paliamentary elections, the pro-independence Democratic Progressive party was soundly defeated by the pro-Beijing Naitonalist party. With the mainland's economy and power increasing at an astonishing pace (9.6% gdp increase in 2004), it would be in the best interest for Taiwan to concede the People's Republic of China.
No sane person realistically believes that Taiwan could repel the full force of the People's Liberation Army in a military conflict with China.

Get the Taiwan mug.A highly addictive Dope Wars spinoff(that's actually even better than Dope Wars) made in Flash by Josh Tuttle. It's a seriously addictive game where you buy things to sell at other planets, and with the money you earn, you can trade in your ship and get guns for your ship (must you go into battle)

Get the tailon mug.The act of when driving, following the idea as such: Going faster than the slowest person but slowest than the fastest.
This way you can still drive over the speed limit but you use a "sucker" to be your buffer. They get a speeding ticket instead of you, thus you hide under their coat tail.

You stay in the pack of cars until someone willing to drive faster passes, you then accelerate to just under the speed they are going, riding on their coat tail. This way if there is a cop up ahead the guy you're coat tailing will be caught and you can slow down in case there is another nearby and not get in trouble. Then you wait for the next person to come along to coat tail. Works best on country roads, major highways and certain freeways as police will be in a single spot, watching both directions.
Doesn't work well on city streets when cops are common to come up behind you without you noticing. As well you don't want to be too close to the patsy as they may wise up and purposely slow down.

Get the coat tailing mug.A country from South East Asia that stole from neighboring countries through out the centuries. Such as the glass Buddha from Laos that supposedly FLEW to Thailand and is now chained down so that it wont ever FLY back home. Now trying to say Angkor Wat in Cambodia belonged to the Thai. Funny because the Khmer Empire is older than Siam. Another funny thing is... Why do people in North Eastern Thailand (e-san) speak Laos? um.. maybe it's because their ancestors and the land they stand on today are from the Lao kingdom of Lan Xang.
FUN FACTS: 90% of Thai's are ladyboys. So, if you order'd your bride from there. 90% chance you order'd a ladyboy.
