You know what actually ARE US colonies? The territories. You can certainly argue that the whole US is, or rather it's a bunch of British colonies that broke off and became a national and continued colonizing, but I particularly want to talk about the territories, because they're the closest thing to "old school" colonial empires that the modern US has. Can you even name them all? I can: Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the US Virgin Islands. All pieces of land run by the United States, far outside the continental US, populated by mostly non-white people and, very importantly, with no vote for President or representation in Congress. So, where are the constant protests demanding their liberation? Where is the global outcry "Samoa will be free"? Oh, right- they're not run by Jews.

I know the compass is sideways, but I made it that way for a reason. The sun rises in the West and sets in the East, right? I figure the sun plays a big art in Stoneclan's adoration of the sky (and stars!), so it makes sense that it would rise from the very place the stars do!

RiverClan and WindClan share the Gorge, ThunderClan has Snakerocks, and ShadowClan deals with the Rotten Place as little as possible.
