Wait a minute. If we do that, he can’t punish Canada. Then again he’s stupid. 🤷‍♀️

I've seen it manny a times when I form THE EMPIRE with Britain in HoI4, it required the short lived dominion of North America to make all of the USA and Canada a British core. Conquer the US and hand it to Canada, perfection.

The French are already asking for the statue of liberty back, so it’s only right if he does that

Who’s going to stop him?

Only if the Red Coats take back the USA as their former colony and press fucking RESET.

The commonwealth is just another club for countries like the G7 these days. A lot of countries have been joining recently.
