I was born and raised in the great State of Rhode island and Providence Plantations, the smallest state in area, the eighth least populous, and the second most densely populated of the 50 U.S. states, following New Jersey. Its official name is also the longest of any state in the Union. My account name, Generalminister, a reference to the many ministries which exist in many countries around the world, shows my clear interest in matters regarding political events. I am also interested in philosophy, law, and history pertaining to the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This account is ultimately new, however I've been editing Wikipedia for the past two years.
