    Akshually…East India Company is a term…you have to put a specific country before it. For instance…we Dutch often shout “GEKOLONISEERD!!!” when Dutch are mentioned anywhere on the internet, which is a direct reference to the Dutch East India Company robbing a country blind…maybe here and there a little human rights violations and pillaging.

        It doesn’t really matter, the Dutch east India company did the same as the British one, only in Indonesia. They too had their own army and we’re setting the laws there.

        Hehe, we got the idea from the British though and are now salty anytime they are mentioned the OG company name.
