Well, yes. :) ... but your politics are still wierd...
Don't forget that in the GZGverse the US fell apart in a
(limited) *nuclear* civil war and quasi-coup by the military. That's a
pretty major dislocation.
So, the US pretty much falls apart. The UK & Canada help pick up the
pieces, some of which glow in the dark. Americans start thinking, "Hey,
how come *they're* doing OK?". NAC happens.
It's a toweringly unlikely scenario, but that's more or less what's in
the
canon GZG future history...
