Solution

RE*AC*TOR

Tensions are high, most people are a bit upset, American is divided, Europe is divided. What can we do?

SWAP!



We get California, The Northeast States and Hawaii - and they can have Britain!
Everyone wins!

ApeXaviour

haha gudun..:)

but didn't most britons including blair (secretly) want Kerry to win?

ionapaul

I want Hawaii! Though we'd lose an awful lot of nice countryside your way...no Grand Canyon, Rockies, Colorado skiing, national monuments and parks. Hawaii makes up for that though!

mike65

I'd sooner they had France myself.

Mike.

RE*AC*TOR

I know Britain in exchange for California and Hawaii might not seem fair, sure maybe we could throw in Poland or something (Wouldn't be the first time Poland was used in such a fashion).

ionapaul

You got it right...give them France. We wouldn't even have to take anything in return! Just take it...

mike65

I got a better idea, keep France but give them the French! I love the idea of a load of low-waged huffy, shoulder-shugging frenchies slowly serving Freedom Frys to outraged Yanks!

Mike.

That is brilliant, but can we give them Italy?

We can keep the food, the football, and the sacuy bints, they can have Silvio and a few more Mafioso.

RE*AC*TOR

Nah I quite like France and Italy. Look how nice it is though - Hawaii and The Netherlands side by side - how great a combination is that? Plus... hey Iceland! Looks like you've got some buddies now!

Yup, what on earth don't people like about France?

My problem with France? I shouldn't really go into it here, wrong forum...suffice to say it involved a beret-wearing accordian player, a length of onions, a french poodle, a guilotine, and a snooty French waiter. It was a night that is forever seared into my scarred memory - DAMN YOU, PIERRE-JACQUES, DAMN YOU TO HEEEELLLLLLL!

You should swap the UK for Poland.

Poland was - apparently - the only west-European nation which would have re-elected Bush....

So unless you just want to turn this into "build your own fantasy continent" (and I'll move it to After Hours, or Humour or something).....

Actually I'm all for burying the UK under canada, the remotest part of it.

Hawaii in the North Atlantic probably wouldn't remain nice for very long though.

RE*AC*TOR

There'd be a nice buffer created from the harsh atlantic by the other countries.

billy the squid

Someone should warn the mexicans that Alaska's coming. They mightn't see it til its too late!

Can we move the countries around or does our powers of continental removal only apply to the selection shown.

If we can I'd like to move sweden a little closer to Ireland, maybe where england used to be (for purley aesthetic reasons) and perhaps bring the Ruski's in to the fray.

San Fran wants out of the US:

I think we should join Canada and leave the Jesus freaks to enjoy the
heartland.

Possible solution: Some Democrat billionaire could try creating an uber-religious, conservative Nadar to fragment Bush's base...

(although I think problems with democracy in the US and elsewhere run far deeper than the good guy/bad guy clash people make of things)
