Well, (desperately trying to get this on theme by wondering what new

(Agreeing with Richard's sentiments) I don't think that by 2183 (150
years
after Amalgamation and decades of brutal war) that there would be much
differentiating between Brit, Canuk & Yank units. Maybe in the names,
but not
in national conciousness, as much (51st American Rifles; His Majesty's
Canadian Armored Guards, etc). If there were any major cultural
sticking
points, I would suggest that they would be between the 'Norte
Americanos' and
the 'Latino/Hispanic' contingents of the population. By 2183, The NAC
rules
the entire Western Hemisphere of Terra.
