Do you approve of the United Kingdom?

[Alyakia]

useless resources

i would be up for this but only if we get a time machine do it in the 70s. no backsies.

there is no time machine

you accept the reality or you leave.

we rule anyway.

you don't need to look that far south or east to see why your attitude may not be as good idea as you think it is

[Benuty]

Yes, I approve the United Kingdom of Brazil, Portugal and the Algarves, but I'd prefer a Republic.

Not enough equality.

[Canovia]

Bloody Hell I do... UK all the way...

[United Russian Soviet States]

Is do not approve of the UK.

I think they need decent schools first.

[Allmalia]

I had a great time in Scotland, visit the Highland wildlife park sometime, I hand dug about half the post holes for the walkway at the camel exhibit a couple years ago.

[Jamjai]

UK will be gone within the next century

[Welskerland]

I would like them much better if they were a

REPUBLIC!

Blasphemy!

We could always declare a United States of Brazil to have more freedom. *nods*

It means you are too agressive in your posts that you don`t really need to be

[Olivaero]

It's an alright place. Could do with stopping giving fellatio to London and the South East though. A lot of people in it could stop being so concerned about the past though when it comes to policy and rhetoric, as could for that matter people outside it.

or how about you people announce independence from the South East?

Yeah, that would be nice. for both of us.

you waste less of our taxes and we don't control your useless resources and laws

How about no? Yeah I'm gonna go with no. We'll take your taxes thanks, even the relatively paltry amount we're given comparatively. It's less than we're owed after centuries worth of careful funneling of everything into London to our detriment but we can fix that in the future. You're never going to get your wish of not having to deal with us which is unfortunate for you but rest assured I will take no small amount of pleasure knowing that's the case. In fact if Labour win the next election I may very well get my wish! And you'll see the very opposite of yours coming true, isn't that nice.

Mmm, Londonian style.

no problem

in turn we will make sure that us in the home counties rush to elect conservatives/UKIP so we can privatize every single aspect of your region and cut back the police force to bicycles

[Greater Miami Shores]

I approve of the United Kingdom, even though, I disapprove of their relations with the Cuban government, now supported by President Obama as well.

Oh no! The South is going to vote mainly conservative! I didn't see this coming! Good luck convincing inner city London to though. But don't worry, I'm sure the will of southerners alone will defeat the rest of the UK combined. I mean, you so effectively held onto powers over Scotland, Wales and NI right?

[Napkiraly]

Bullshit. Don't you know that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant built boats to sail to the UK? Once they did that, they liberated Birmingham. Everyone knows that.

Bullshit! They came by airplane! Everyone knows that one!

Nah mate, rubber dinghy rapids is how they got here.

no, they used the train

[Eastern Equestria]

I approve of their music, car manufacturers, and breakfast muffins.

As a nation we have created the greatest net good for mankind and we can be eternally proud of that. Doesn't hurt that we're still maintaining our standards.

[Kantona]

Its a post-imperialist country that sees its power fading away. However, it's a nice nation with lots of nice people.

Agree.

[Baltenstein]

Shouldn't it be the other way around, with "nation" having the negative, imperialist connotations and "country" having the positive "nice people" connotations?

[Kantona]

I am a fan of Great Britain, UKIP, and closer integration of the Anglosphere (but not too close).

Britain is already acting like one of the US' prostitutes. That's quite close if you ask me.

To be fair. If the US suddenly annexes the UK nobody would notice.

No. A nation is a people, a country is the sum of State institutions and the land and people it has jurisdiction over.

No. A nation is a people, a country is the sum of State institutions and the land and people it has jurisdiction over.

But nation rings of bad stuff like "nationalism", "national socialism" and generally has some somewhat aggressive undertones, while "country" sounds like home, sweet home and is all in all a warmer and cozier word.
