The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The standard of civilisation was used by European powers following the Age of Discovery when they traded with, exploited and colonised the lands outside Europe.
- Countries which had non-European civilisations would be considered semi-civilised while primitive areas would be considered uncivilised.
- The laws of such areas would not be respected and their people, property and territory might be seized, conquered or colonised.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Standard of civilisation article was read about 2,400 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 52 and blocks with 34: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
