I agree. I think that much of the contention would depend upon what constitutes a road.

Thanks for the research, gentlemen. You both bring up good points.
It would appear that both the UK and France would qualify. I think that the US would qualify for a southern hemisphere territory as a result of Samoa and the Aleutians and Saipan are in the eastern hemisphere. A lot would depend upon what qualifies as being part of a country.

Sir, you are a gentleman of refined taste. Neatorama t-shirts always convey refinement and elegance.
I have some old cassette tapes from the 90s. But I also have CDs and a CD player. It's prudent to have at least one backup plan.

I have all of Star Trek on DVD just in case civilization collapses. Just pop a disk into my battery-operated DVD player, which is charged by my portable solar cell panel.
The problem that I haven't solved yet is preserving Star Trek after an EMP strike.

That's why we need backup players.

If 1975 is three generations, then that would mean that I am old--which is manifestly untrue. Therefore: two generations.

Yeah, if they're expecting 40 hours a week out of me, they'd better raise that salary.

The Federation is not a democracy. It's a bureaucracy. It's a lot closer to the United Nations than the United States or a Westminster system of government. Notice that you never hear about Federation elections. That's because there aren't any--or any of real consequence. An established bureaucracy rules.
Another observation that I've heard elsewhere is that Star Trek (especially TNG) is a fantasy in which the main characters are employed in a high-functioning workplace with intelligent and honest co-workers who are team players. To an extent, Star Trek is an emotional comfort food who people who are otherwise in dysfunctional workplaces with bullies, manipulators, and idiots.
