"So this world is base on the cartoon Roman Holidays?" Kasumi ask as she and the others are at one of the restaurants enjoying a meal. And seeing how the entire city is in holiday season with people dressing up, they fitted right in.

"Yes but instead of using bamboo technology and animals like in the Flintstones it's more modern," Twilight said as while there are chariots pulled by horses, there are some cars on the road.

"Reminds me of the turn of the century worlds we been to, where the horse drawn carts are being fazed out for cars," Sunset said.

"And that mountain of broken vases is gone," Naruto said as the Monte Testaccio wasn't there anymore.

"They used that as landfill and as foundation for new buildings," Sunset said.

"The aqueducts the same," Trixie said.

"According to this," Captain Planet said reading a travel guide. "The ancient aqueducts are maintained as they are a famous landmark and it's cheaper to maintain them then installing new ones like in other cities."

"Well at least unlike other places like Wakanda where they're super advance even if they're completely isolated. Rome has the network and all the other boxes checked in why they're so advance," Twilight said. (1)

"You really don't like places like that do you?" Kasumi ask.

"It's doesn't make sense. At least with Rome it has the infrastructure for advance technology and a trade network for new ideas and materials that can't be found easily in other places. Wakanda would need all of the raw stuff all found in their country and supersmart people being born there all the time for it to work," Twilight said.

"Well there is those worlds that do," Sunset said.

"There is that but in others it just doesn't work," Twilight said.

"We seen plenty where Wakanda does have the metal but aren't advance because of logical reasons why a small isolated country wouldn't be advance," Trixie said.

"Bad?" Naruto ask.

"Many are just like other African countries. Poor and war torn," Twilight said.
