Poland warns of war 'in 10 years' as EU leaders scramble to contain panic

[Zanza]

Our plans to destroy the evil European Union mature 

We would drag you guys down. With your oversized financial industry, the UK will suffer badly from a meltdown in the Eurozone.

[Razgovory]

Raz, you can't possibly be serious.

An Anglo-American union is a silly idea.  Free trade and military alliances between the nations of the anglophone world, sure, but we sure don't want to govern them.  They've all done that for themselves for a long time.  I'm not really interested in painting the map all one color, even if it's our color.  Anyway, we already have Arkansas, we don't need Wales to add insult to injury.

I think the poorest parts of the UK are probally significantly better off than the poorest parts of the US.
And yes, on the other side of things the richer parts of the US are richer than the rich parts of the UK, excluding the posh sections of London.

The poorest parts of the UK were in a state of low grade civil war with in living memory.  Per Capita  for the UK is about 10 grand lower then the US.

The poorest NUTS2 region in the UK is Wales at 21,200€ GDP PPP/capita (~$29k with current exchange rate) in 2008, the poorest US state is Mississippi at $32,967 GDP nominal in 2010. Hard to compare, but I would guess that it means that Wales is poorer.

Who is the Germany-France alliance going to fight? Italy & Greece?

[CountDeMoney]

I can't fucking wait for the Euro Wars.

Meh, it'll be worse than the World Cup histrionics.  All that flopping around, but no contact.

I'm surprised it's not Northern Ireland

[Zanza]

Northern Ireland is just the third poorest. The North East (Northumberland, County Durham, Tyne and Wear, and Teesside) of England is poorer too.

I blame Cleveland.

Bare in mind the exchange rate is fucked at the moment.
But that is surprising.
I guess even in states theres a big divide between the poor and the rich.

they'll invade Russia. It's their thing

This thread is disturbing.

Wait till Timmay starts spamming it with his shitty alt-hist map bullshit.

[Neil]

With another 100 million Democrats, we could make that all go away.

Good luck encouraging your fellows to have that many kids.

I meant the populations of Great Britain, Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

There would be several parties.  Remember, you'd be adopting our system rather than the reverse.

Yeah.  No way I'd want Congress

I don't see why the US would want to bed knee to Britain. Like I said I don't think we overthrew British rule only to impose it on ourselves centuries later. George Washington would be rolling in his grave.
