Heaven forbid someone puts up a hypothetical question on the internet. And god forbid someone over react to a hypothetical question on the internet. Oh wait, it's the internet, that always happens.CRRPGMykael said:
Why on Mexico and Canada?
Double why on England and China.
WTF on Japan?
Seriously, what is the reasoning on these five? Until I hear the reasoning behind these choices, I'll stick with Independence.

US and China would be one hell of a dynamic duo. They'd need a whole new term for what they'd be: a sovereign power.
I wouldn't feel to safe as a citizen either in Chinamerica or elsewhere because all that power (and nukes) could really make a lesser power paranoid.

Well SOMETHING needs to shake up our idiotic political system, so I say let's go for! Let's see if Canada wants to buy us.
As a couple posters have mentioned, I doubt we would ever give up our sovereignty. It would be more realistic for the U.S. to add a 51st state like Puerto Rico.
"Give up sovereignty"? Ignoring issues of economic power, military strength, and population size, why would America become some sort of slave-state if it were to merge with a foreign entity?Thomas Guy said:
And protip: we already did that anyway. America started out as thirteen states. Now, we have fifty. And we didn't change our name every time we acquired a new state.
What's the point of this thread? What does it accomplish? What could possibly have possessed you to think that this had something thought-provoking to offer?Thomas Guy said:
So I guess I'll be voting 'Independent.'
*Pffffttt...hahaha*
Hell, no. Why would we want to do that? This question makes about as much sense as that "Would you want to be annexed by the U.S.?" one.
If you're a citizen of a country that is well-off enough to have widely available internet access, chances are that you're not so desperate that you want to be absorbed into another country.

A Confederacy that unites nations. Nations with excess of certain valuable resources would, in return for the support of the rest of the world, agree to distribute some of those resources either cheaply or freely to other countries.The-Epicly-Named-Man said:
U.S. gives away food.
Arab countries oil.
X gives away Y.
Each nation within the Confederacy would be able to maintain its own governance as that is an internal issue. While I would hope that the sort of cooperation built by the confederacy would lead to a more Communistic attitude and that more nations would internally shift to egalitarian command economies, that is an internal issue.

They wanted independence and to wear the big boy shoes and they did. Until those shoes ended up costing several trillion dollars they don't have, whilst fighting several wars they don't need to and still try to tell the world how to live.
Think you will find that while England recently suffered a mild setback in the riots, we're still doing better than the USA.
...
We suffered major rioting but are still in better shape than the US...
Hmmmm...
EDIT:
And Canada still recognizes the Queen... so that would be awkward.
