I still remember my first time in Bretonia. I went there because I had absolutely nothing to do for a month or two, and just wanted to waste some time, but the place was far worse than I thought. A splendid house, nice scenery, the always-rainy capital planet, tea parties and all those 'Brit' stuff - Which, I can't say I like, but is classy -, but knee deep in absolute crap. I don't know what it is, but seems no matter what happens anywhere else in Sirius, Bretonia's always getting the worst of it. First the war with Kusari, having to shoot those tiny ships flown by traditional bastards, then the fight with Rheinland over something I don't even know... And then, Gallia makes an appearance and the first place it hits is Bretland. Well... So much to live a happy Brit life.
They've got good music though. Lots of bands with good music, even though they're living a hard life down there. Their music sounds a bit too British for my taste, but good music nonetheless. I ran into this band down in a club on Leeds, and I have to admit, things one of the guy was doing with his guitar, most people can't do even with guns. All those lyrics about war and misery and whatnot gives it a taste too. Wash it down with enough whiskey, and you'll get a good mix you can't find everywhere. When it comes to Brits making good music, some say it's in their blood, but honestly, it's just how they've had to live their lives for ages that had turned them into what they're now. Having to fight on three fronts, and on top of that, industries raping one of their planets to the point it's nearly unlivable on, that's gotta leave a mark.
