Rising demands for Venetian Independence

[Caliga]

Will they be ready for the Aztec onslaught?

These "independence movements" are just a roundabout way to try to dump their debt and escape. It's like rats running from a burning building.

It's the rich regions that have secession movements. It's Catalonia and Veneto, not Andalucia and Sicily. This looks more like anger at bailing out their fellow countrymen and having to suffer to pay for it. I do wonder if there's a few countries with less national solidarity than the Germans have European solidarity.

And the magic of the EU makes it all possible.

Doesn't explain Quebec independence though.  Nor Scottish independence.

Only morons would give up the chance of calling themselves "Serenissima Repubblica"

Those are just unresolved Daddy issues.

Quebec independence makes a lot more sense, you folks have let them keep a separate culture all along.

Catalonia's independence had always scored 30-35% in the polls until it soared to 50% with the financial crisis, so you have a point there. However, 35% baseline has always looked like a lot to me.

And I'm not sure you can put down Scotland in that category.

Concur.

And it does explain Quebec, BB.  It's the wealthiest part of Canada.  Without it, the rest of Canada is just a big fucking national park.

Will they seize the Dalmatian coast? Will they be ready for the Aztec onslaught?

More importantly, will they loot Istanbul?

Per Capita.  Pfft.  Don't gimme that, that's a shoddy statistic to use, particularly with less people in the Northwest Territories than the capacity of the SkyDome, compared to 7.9M Quebecois.

That would be an ingenious solution to the political impasse on Crete...
