So, that leaves us with Vatican City—literally the smallest player on the global stage. I guess we Americans really are just out here playing checkers while everyone else plays chess. 🙂

I’ve been thinking—just a random thought, mind you—about starting a sort of United Nations for small nations, maybe capped at a population of 5 million each. In a club like that, we’d actually be one of the heavyweights, right? We'd have some real muscle. And we could bring in the wealthy ones too—you know, places like Monaco, Luxembourg, Andorra, Malta, Brunei, Singapore, those little Caribbean spots. We’d be the big, hulking giants of the alliance. Now *that* would be an interesting project!

What do you all think?

Honestly, I think it'd be better if we just voted in a referendum to join Switzerland. Our standard of living would probably double overnight just by being part of the same country as those hyper-developed Swiss folks.

We need to build an alliance with Canada, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Poland—basically, we need to join the Višegrad group. Why?
Because you don't deal with the same level of immigrant influx that's currently tearing through Western and Northern Europe apart.

It would be a smart move to step into the Višegrad fold and finally distance ourselves from this whole "Western North America" mess...
