Hehehehehehe!! You poor Brits have no clue what you have done! The
Second
Seccessionist War was actually a very clever American ploy to absorb
Britian
and Canada! ; )

Ya'll intervined and 'forced' the U.S. to join the Confederation (
Confederation!! D'OH!) under the monarch of the U.K.... no problem!  We
get the
King every few months (tourist dollars), plus we get to fill Parliament
with
American MPs. Ever notice how the last several PMs have been Neo-Torys 
with
Southern accents??? ; ) LOL!! Next time you hear a fellow Confederate
(!)
singing "God Save the King", you might want to listen closer... he might
be
singing "America the Beautiful!" LOL!! A win/win prospect for us : )
