Yes, this whole EC "pressure" thing is ruining my plans of trying to figure
out what territorial claims Belgium had on Denmark, and agitate some
against your country in hopes of making a political career quickly. For
which the time is perfect, with all this long dorment nationalism being
revived by anti europe movements...

Sorry, didn't mean this one, i believe in the self determination right of
nations, and peoples within, and individuals within, i just hope
individualist ideals are not being confused with nationalist ones.

I think Europe might be formed a lot more 'capitalistic' and a lot less
'socialistic' than you think: The Germans have the most money, so they'll
probably decide most of what Europe will look like...

Why be anti-EU, and not anti-national state ? Maybe on a European level we
can acchieve some of our goals. Less you want that fourth colony on the
mars to be French or German instead of european ofcourse...
