REVIEWS
European Schoolnet, 4/20/01.
"This review almost didn't get written. After reading about the USS Abalonia, a ship built to serve as an independent nation, and which sank when launched in 1969, it was hard not to read about Araucania, a nation that bested both the Inca and the Spanish armies back in the 16th century. Then how to resist reading about the Auca Republic, a nation founded by escaped slaves in South America? Terse text with a bit of humor is used here to serve up fascinating tid-bits of trivia... To paraphrase the old Lay's Potato Chip commercial, 'Bet you can't read just one'."

Scout Report, 2/6/01.
"In a time when the cartographers can not keep up with the redrawn lines of the world's maps from Eastern Europe to Africa to the Middle East, Erwin's online guide serves as a useful reference to those alternative identifications which have demonstrated a surprising resiliency in the post-cold war era."
