They don't open patios on Cardassia Prime unless its 35 degrees outside.

Oh! So Cardassia is essentially the Alpha Quadrant's 'Florida.'

I think it's more like Iran. I always pictured it like Iran.

After my DS9 re-watch I think of it more like The Congo.

They went through a lot of Leaders in a very short period of time.

It's not a theocracy like Iran.

Cardassia is buckling under the weight of all the gold pressed latinum they get from Federation retirees.

I meant climate-wise. Also the snake like motif reminds me of Iran/Persia/Afghanistan.

Though, IIRC, they had a former golden age where they were much more liberal and spiritual. They just went through a civil war that destroyed their economy and the military junta that now controls their society is the outcome of that period.

Too Junglish, they are dry heat creatures. Think of that episode where Dukat's daughter and Garak use the cardassian sauna holoprogram! Dry heat...

[Monahammer]

Actually, I suppose if we had to come together with arid hot climate and military junta, it's kinda egyptian.

I wasnt thinking actual temperature more of Political Climate.

I'm often reminded of when the Simpsons went to Africa and their President ended up being their Flight Attendant and their Tour guide ended up being President.

During the Dominion War they swapped leaders a lot.

I've always wanted to retire to an autocratic, authoritarian and despotic regime. Its why so many people emigrate to Rwanda.

How come we don't get these Trek re-releases in our Canadian theatres?
