But especially it is important in cultural matters where a local mapper<br>

<div>Hi Christoph,</div><div>This line of thinking makes sense when you compare to nation-states with a somewhat monolithic culture. Even in a country like
Belgium, there are already quite significant cultural differences
between regions that the local chapter should try to accomodate. In
actual multi-ethnic states, Local Chapters need to solve this problem as
well. I'm pretty sure there are several countries in Africa that have
over 42 million people and have similar cultural diversity within one
country - well, if we ignore Papua New Guinea, which itself has 820
languages.<font color="#888888"><br></font></div><div><font color="#888888"><br clear="all"></font></div>
