Interesting Tidbits from Earth's historical documents

OPAGA
  • Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability (OPAGA). "Follow-up Report on the Review of Correctional Privatization." Report No. 97-06. The Florida Legislature. September 1997. Cited here.
  • Online Project Assessment, Guidance and Arrangement (a project from the Asia Pacific Institute for Information Technology in Malaysia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, India and Australia...)
  • Opaga'arum = Thank you (in Malayalam - language of the Southern Indian state, Kerala)
  • Passionflower as an herbal remedy for cleansing the system.
  • Not to be confused with the city of Opava! :D (OOC: As if we did...)

TIAS:
  • An online antique/collectible shop
  • A Business school in the Netherlands
  • transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)
  • "The Integrated Assessment Society (TIAS) is a not-for-profit-entity created to promote the community of inter-disciplinary and disciplinary scientists, analysts and practitioners who develop and use integrated assessment." link
    • (OOC: No clue what IA is - but it is defined there... :) Justin - sounds like smth you'd be interested in? )
  • Treaties and other International Acts Series of the United States Department of State - everytime an official of the US Government signed a treaty or other int'l act - it was published as a pamphlet included in this series.

Dalhousie's Communique Speech Day 14


Captain, if we are to assume that this recent behaviour, as displayed by these people is indeed indicative of the larger whole, then it would seem that we will be at greater odds with our negotiations than previously thought. But then again, we could simply ignore that transmission as it's not something that I'd imagine was sanctioned by the official governmental body of Opaga, namely the State-Supremes' leader – Electorate Kenja. If she believes the Tiasian demands are too much, or `too infuriating', and as a result wishes us to leave, then the Prime Directive clearly dictates that we must leave. Until then, Captain, I recommend that we keep this card in our hand and don't play it right away. We might not even have to play it at all, as this would appear to be an internal matter needing to be dealt with by the Opagan people.
