USians switch between "we're a very loose collection of not quite but mostly independent countries that each do their own thing with maximally diverse cultures" and "USA USA USA BEST COUNTRY" depending on whichever is most convenient in that moment.

or whistling and walking the other way when one of their colonies like Puerto Rico is devastated by a combination of natural disaster and lack of infrastructure

Considering the dependence of largely-conservative states on the federal welfare systems and conversely how they're consistently duped into voting against the same (and the majority of their own interests) without anywhere near an equal amount of anything to balance out said strain on the nation, selling them off to neighboring countries is definitely a viable solution. 🤮

I'm curious how Austria managed to wind up more locked down than Germany or France. Like, I'm more likely to fuck with Austria's Wikipedia page, but thats because I think people may not notice so long as I don't go into Australia jokes. Just make up a king, tell an amusing anecdote about him and his wife from the Great Horde. Maybe imagine a few hapsburgs that feel eerily targaryn. Hell make up an anecdote about a head of state confusin them for Australia. This shit might go unnoticed long enough to wind up in a middle schooler's country report.

Ok I may have found out why it's red
