I for once welcome our Canadian friends wholeheartedly!

If Canada joins EU that would make it the union less a European union, not saying I would mind that but we're gonna need a better name. Maybe invite Australia & New Zealand as well. Need to be quick though, before UK snatches them up.

Hear me out, wild plan: why not free the russians & add that as well.

The no-homer union

Should be rebranded the "Union of settled and colonizer states", you could add Israel too!

Yikes, i'd rather have north-korea join us then the current isreal state. But when Netanyahu is in jail and Palestinians and Israeli can see eye to eye again it would culturally fit in the union of western nation states. But probably US wants to join and it becomes a group of countries trying to take over the world and we already had enough of that in Europe.

Just a step on the inevitable road to one world polity. We should really be working out a roadmap to a world where everyone is a citizen of a worldstate with freedom to move, travel and trade freely regardless of where they were born. Basic rights should be protected everywhere by global enforcement, Borders should be administrative niceties and people should be free to migrate to areas which reflect their social and religious preferences in a global freemarket of societies where the most beneficial policies result in people voting with their feet.
