It's cute that the UK still thinks they're an empire. The sun has set my dudes. Get over it.

Its like they think siding with the americas will make them relevant, really its the americans that made them irrelevant in the first place. So maybe they should help end the empire. It only makes sense.

I like to see it like Rome. It's the same Anglo European empire but the seat of power moved. Britain is now semi-provincial but it's very much part of an empire. All those lords and ladies who moved to North America and rebranded as bourgeois haven't forgotten who is in the family, and vice versa.
