None of them got farther than "a dude had an idea" tho california had a chance to break up into six normal states instead of continuing on as the dysfunctional model of the federal government they have now just last year, but rejected it

I just figured out how we could make Britain part of the US, and let them keep the queen as their leader while still staying within the constitution's ban on monarchy. Just make her a high school football coach.

I like the idea of a state called "Big Thicket", sounds like an imported West Germany porno mag from the latter 1970s.

Australia, Canada, New Zealand....hell most other countries have a points system that any idiot like me can pass. America? No Sir. Even Corporate sponsorship generally only gets you a temporary working visa and not even permanent residency. You guys even banned the UK from the Green Card Lottery  We would never do that in Europe as that is RACIST. e: Added officially as I obey the law. spud fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Jun 29, 2016 |

No, you just absorb most of Britain as a state and create a set of treaties with The Crown that leave it a totally dependent but self-governing quasi-state with complete freedom of movement that consists only of it's properties like Windsor/Buckingham Palace/etc. That way you can still have kings, queens and all of the associated royalty for tourism purposes, but it has no bearing on the actual apparatus of government. Think of it like the Vatican. Or maybe an Indian reservation for royalty.

If we joined the US, probably 50million people would move over and then the Queen would be left in her big, cheap, lovely house, all alone.

This is a good idea !! It's time to draw the lines since WW3 is almost here. We fought well together, the british & americans ! Every responsible child should invite an elderly parent to live with them when they can't do it by themselves. It's the responsible and humane thing to do.

Uhh if any of this were true clearly we wouldn't have a pressing need to make America great again, therefore it is false Seriously though if it were up to me you'd be a state right now, just gotta introduce those royals to Monsieur Guillotine as a little show of good faith and we're good to go
