success of both would be strongly contributed to by a great deal of
luck to begin with. This luck pertains to having the right conditions
under which to produce the food and water necessary to support large
civilizations and communities. The power and force to gain large areas
of land to be drawn into the civilization. The power and force to keep
control of neighboring captured and incorporated lands. The dedication
of the people, normally gained by having the power and force to provide
them with safe and contented lives without worry of invasion and
destruction. Without such power and growing force (military) the
civilization would have been a single community or oasis in the desert.

for accounting for all the food and supplies collected from the outer
regions so they invented writing and a written record to keep track
with. This forced organization and removed a great deal of chance
related to luck and thus yielded a stronger and more powerful nation.
