A random thought at 5 AM

Anniversaries are important. We all know that. National anniversaries are especially important - I was barely sentient for the bicentennial, but I remember having heard about it a lot. Everyone remembers reading about the Silver Jubilee and all that from Victoria's reign, in Britain.

So what's England going to do in 2066?

Who else (other than China) has thousand-year anniversaries? Does France have a defining event like that (Chalemagne's coronation, maybe)?

Makes the US look like an angsty adolescent, that does . . .

Given that we started here with England, and their royal family doesn't currently have much more political power than the Japanese imperial family, I think we can still count them.

Heh. Yet another parallel between the two strange island kingdoms on either side of Eurasia.
