Just out of curiosity, how have you reorganised North America? I can
think
of a few ways to do it but want to know how you've gone for it.

upto
them

Wales would probably go under financially, but if scotland had the
oilheads
then they'd have a pretty good chance at financial stability,

And seeing as I'm mixed English/Scottish blood which side do I go on, or
do
I keep up the old border traditions of fighting evyone and stealing
cattle
:-D
