September 21 is Civilization V Day!
...in Maryland.
Maryland governor Martin O'Malley issued a proclamation two days ago that calls for the population of Maryland to celebrate Civilization V Day on September 21, the game's release date. This falls somewhat in line with the mayor of Topeka, Kansas issuing a proclamation calling for it to be renamed Google, Kansas in a ploy to get the company to bring its high speed internet "beta" to the town. Though, this one is different in that it doesn't really seem to serve any actual purpose, but instead is just for fun.
Civilization V continues to be one of the most popular grand-strategy games you can play on Steam, for about three years.

Philip Boyes:
When I was a kid, I played a lot of Civilization 2. I played a lot of strategy games in general, but having a deep love of both history and sci-fi, the epic sweep of Civ 2 from prehistory to the stars held a particular appeal. I loved taking my little people from their huts and ziggurats to the world of science and advanced space-flight.
