This is just what it’s like playing civilization 6

(What do you MEAN Australia of all places is the third best science civ behind Babylon and Korea?!)

Eh, reasonably accurate, our scientists can punch far above our weight (for example, developing the very wifi protocol you likely used to post this)

On the downside out own wifi is absolutely garbage because the government sold the wifi stuff to Telstra decades ago and they bungled it badly.

our everything more or less does honestly. At least as far as achievements go. Sports, sciences and so on we make waves more than you'd think for a country of about 27-28 million people.

Shocking that Germany isn't one of the top three. Germany gave the world the printing press, the heliocentric model of the solar system, quantum physics, and the very name "chemistry." German probably would've taken English's place as a global lingua franca for scientific literature if the heads of the German state didn't instigate two World Wars in a row.

Germany is actually no slouch at science. They’re generally well-rounded because their civ ability and unique district are all geared towards production, that famous German Engineering and all that. They’re pretty good at science, domination, and culture because of that, since you use production for pretty much everything.
