Talk:Aerugo

I noticed near the end in the trivia it says " Amestris was trying to invade and unify Italy". was this purposeful or should it be changed? I'm shure Amestris neverwas at war with Italy... Darth Ultimatum 18:16, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

You're quite right. There isn't even an Italy in FMA's world to begin with. In fact, I guess that that entire Trivia section was biased, since there's no proof or indication of any kind to what was stated there (as well as it not being formated as a trivia should be). I took out the entire section. Turdaewen 22:10, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

If I'm not mistaken, didn't the article say that the country was based on Italy and not Italy itself? I don't see why it should be removed if that's the case.

Even though Italy's not too near Germany (roughly Amestris' location), doesn't mean that it still can't be based off it. I took that trivia meaning "This country is based off Italy" just like so many countries are in the FMA world, not literally saying "This is Italy".Tommy-Vercetti 22:15, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

The problem is not about conjecturing about whether Aerugo was or wasn't based on Italy, but stated that "'it probably was" when there's no statement or comment by the author or anyone else to back it up. It was based purely on one's observation and even though there ARE many similarities, we shouldn't state that "it probably was, because it looks like it was".

Not only that, the writing of it seemed to pass a personal theory of the origin of Aerugo as a Trivia, by arguing the pros/cons to it: Trivias should be punctual and, therefore, if someone should state about it, it should be putted as an 'item' and not a dissertation.

Furthermore, it clearly stated as if Amestris would have invaded Italy (and not Aerugo) and for the purpose of making it a puppet country... so, even if the rest was acceptable, that should be removed.

My suggestion is: to write a different trivia stating that it might be possible to Aerugo be based in real world's Italy, instead of keeping such a complicated paragraph. Turdaewen 22:27, July 3, 2011 (UTC)
