Thanks! Looks interesting. I've got a few bones to pick with it,
though:

<snippo>

>  What does your name mean?(2)

This is often a question that cannot be answered. Pedro (or
Peter, or Peder) comes from the Latin word _petrus_, but that's
not what it means. Names in many cultures have no meaning.

>  What does the name for your people mean?(5)

As above; one must also consider that in some cultures, the name
for their culture translates out to "humans."

>  Where were you born (modern country)?(1)

Why should this have any bearing to one's persona? Fritz from
Heidelberg of the 13th cent. has no idea that Heidelberg today is
a part of a much larger entity.

>  What is your social standing? (serf...noble)(1)
>  Of the three estates, to which do you belong?(2)

Some cultures do not have such a set of class divides. Besides,
what do we do about the journalists? :)
