When is the Anglo Empire going to reunite?
Clearly there is a strong alliance between the anglo countries of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

I'd like to see a free trade zone setup between these nations.

Who's with me?

Sure, why not.

I've always wondered, do the Irish count too?

No, they're not white.

And besides, the empire is reunited - they're all our boys now.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Definately one Ive thought much about before. It would have certain problems, but it could lead to greater strength and toward the ultimate uber-long term goal, world unity.

I'm cheering for a Pacific-Ocean Organization. Every nation in the Pacific Ocean would be part of it. Hawaii, of course, would be part of it.

(the west coast doesnt' count)

Brits already setup the blueprint so we gotta finish the job. Reuniting the core is the first step. When others see the benefits of the alliance they will want in.

There is already a large degree of integration between Aussies and Canadians, so they make a natural choice. The Kiwis are the ones I'm a little foggy on though.

We let you make independent foreign policy decisions as long as we agree with them.

You said at one time that Australia thinks the rest of the world is f'ed up and there wasn't much you guys could do about it, so, time to go to the beach.

Australia is a given. So is the UK. Canada will join because the UK joins.

The only reason we get invloved is because its not warm enough to spend time on the beach.

UK: We had a war to kick you out, know you want to reap our profits somemore?! I don't think so.

Canada: Already got free trade with them, and that was very nice of us to give to them.

New Zealand: Free trade? with NZ? Why?

Australian: Again, why? You'd put our sheep ranchers out of buisness, but thats about it.

[insert=bad australian sheep joke] [/insert]

Honestly, I'm for it... Just to tick the EU off

It would the a coalition of people who hate the French... yeah Quebec would be right out.

The UK can't join a NAFTA-style trade agreement because the Treaty of Rome (the founding treaty of the EU) prevents it from doing so. Britain also can't leave the EU because of the massive job losses and the political fallout that would result. Britain is America's beachhead into the EU - wouldn't you rather keep us that way?
