Wasn’t there some Russian orthodox sect in the 1600-1800s that was even more extreme, to the extent that the truly good people in the community would literally castrate themselves? Anyone know what I’m talking about? I can’t find it in a quick phone-typing google search.

Scoptsy sounds like the stagename of early 90s British DJ who was big in the Rotterdam Gabber scene but died in a tragic parasol accident in Ibiza before breaking into the mainstream.

That is Florida, not Brittany. They copy-pasted Florida as the big erect dong of France.

Big fan of United Mandatory Administrative Provinces of the French Confederal Colonial Council in Guyana and Northern Brazil, though I think it should have put in a few more words in that name.

Also lol at Bayerischen Nippon and the "Japanese Empire in Exile". Oh and Iceland is now an Irish Sultanate, don't ask me how this works.

But my absolute favorite has got to be the "Government of National Salivation". It's right next to Rude China, who probably must mock them for all their drooling.

My favorite is the Srpski Mandate Libiji, which is mostly a random chunk of the Sahara, but does have a tiny strip connecting it to the Med. Which is nice, because Serbia itself lacks a coast.

I also like the various inland states in Australia, all of which probably have the combined population of a small town.

They're out but there's a one-year transition period to broke a trade agreement, so the country doesn't collapse into anarchy by the end of next week. This might still happen a year and a week from now if there's no agreement with the EU (= no-deal Brexit).

The EU should've just played tough and ejected them immediately, deported all Brits, and put them under instant embargo.

If they wanna leave they can leave. Like making a kid smoke the entire pack when you catch them with a cigarette.

There is no trade agreement possible and there is no meaningful way the UK can implement any policies now that it's separate.

This whole thing has been stupid from start to finish, and the real finish will either be when the UK has to start begging for influence on EU policy again and eventually ends up having to give up the pound. Great idea idiots. Go gently caress some pigs while you have the alone time.

A united Ireland would be the best result out of the whole thing, but giving up the ability to print their own currency is a bad move for any polity.

There’s plenty of Brits living in EU countries who didn’t have a say in this. It’s good just for the sake of sanity that they get to stay. Brexit hurts the EU, too, and being aggressive and petty would just help Boris.

Yeah, a lot of British expats who'd be expected to be pro-EU were disenfranchised under a rule that probably didn't affect many of the British pensioners in Spain and Portugal. These people are probably more pro-EU than most EU citizens, we really should just let them stay as citizens of whatever countries they've settled in.

I am pretty sure Spain would have vetoed the Scotland thing over their own "nationalist secessionists" problem. But yeah, you are right.

This is one of those questions that is impossible to answer without writing an essay on Irish history. In short, there is no such thing as 'the Northern Irish' and even within each religious community you can find a variety of different views.

A large number of them are descendants of settlers pretty similar to what is currently going on in Palestine where natives were driven out and British moved in
