What is thalasocracy about. My cowerk and I have had many discussions about what it could be about...
thala is about humankind, earth gaia theory, stuff like that
- Frank in an online chat, 5/99

LYRICS:
Wait / Isn't it so great / Since you learned karate chop / You're walking machs / And I'm just swimming in the slop / You wave your wand at me / And make dance flip-flop / I want to sing for you / And make your head go pop / The inuit man / Had not so much a Ceasar / He had provision / Say / You're spraying in the windy / And I'm just pissing off / I'm literally deaf down here / From your canned philosoph / Softly you can hear me / Through the sucking of your quaff / I'm Thalassocracy / And you're just Romanov

DEFINITIONS:
thal·as·soc·ra·cy - Naval or commercial supremacy on the seas.

Thalassocracy is a term coined by the ancient Greek historian, Theucydides. It comes from the root words thalassa, which is Greek for sea or ocean, and kratia, which means government. A Thalassocracy is, therefore, a government that uses the sea to maintain its sovereignty.
