      Fun Fact: Feudalism only really took off in regions with cereals that could be hoarded long-term. Can't control masses of people if you can't control massive amounts of food.

      Besides maize, the western hemisphere didn't really have durable cereals which is why no individuals could ever hoard enough food to declare themselves a lord to any systemic degree.

      I already forgot why I brought this up.
