We have the United States of America. However, true Americans are also Canadians, Brazilians, Chileans and Mexicans. Where are people from Southern America really from? Is an "ern" all that seperates an Argentinan from a Louisianan?

What will happen when Europe becomes the United States of Europe? (Which is the touted name) Will a Croat, Norwegian or Swiss no longer be able to call themself a European? How will confusion be averted?

The confusion of naming your nation after the continent it is created in.

What if Simon Bolivar had acieved his pan-American dream and unified the Spainish nations of the south? (of America that is... er hang on) Would we have had the United States of America II or the Confederacy of South America. Would a Brazilian then have been a South American?

Aaaaaarrrrg.

personally, i would prefer the term 'Dominion' for Europe, but oh well...
nobody ever listens to a 14-year-olds inoocent pleas for world domination anymore!

------------------
It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.


What are you saying? Are you trying to tell me you have feelings now? Ha, ha, ha... Stop acting as if you're sad. And there's no need to act as if you're angry either. Because, Cloud, you are... a puppet.

What about the Union of Western Europe. Then they could be called "Westerners' or "The West" or.. "Westies"

"Westerners' I believe was a film starring John Wayne

"The West" is a compass point

"Westies" are small annoying yappy dogs

Personally, I will won't try to give them labels and will just refer to them as fellow humans until I get to know them a bit better......or is that just too simple
