ACT-government? I don't understand what any of that means.
ACT = Australian Capital Territory.
Australia's capital, Canberra, is not in any of Australia's states. The city, and a small bit of land around it, has basically been declared an autonomous territory independent from all the states.
Wikipedia info and stuffs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Capital_Territory)
It doesn't have all the rights of a full state but apparently enough to make some local laws that others object to. :P
Ah, like us and the District of Columbia I guess (D.C.)
- Syll
i thought we kicked D.C. out because it's evil.
like in Escape From L.A. where they sectioned off part of Los Angeles to be a penal colony.
Any chance.. any chance you can get to say 'penal colony'
Same 'ole Izz ;)
Vatican City is like that too, I guess. It's like its own little country.
A very small country...with funny dressed guards and stuff.
It isn't "like". It IS it's own country.
So not the same.
DC and Canberra are still part of the country they are surrounded by.
You're gonna get slapped :p
