    What Nation Would You Least Mind If It Just Went Away?

    Just shrunk and shrunk and ...poof. Gone.
    You only get 1 choice. I know someone will be ludicrous and waste their choice. That's ok.

    With so many worthy candidates, this is hard, I guess I pick, hmmm, Somalia. Pretty much a waste of area.

    Finland. Never really noticed it exist anyway.

    We are supposed to win over some weird sauna bathing eastern nation in the icehockey finals in the olympics on sunday. Don't know who they are though...

    Strangely, Israel. It would solve all the ME problems.

    Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

    Well, I didn't know that, but I think it demonstrates my point quite nicely!

    Well, I'll say Tuvalu, then.

    ambro2000, this year it starts early I see

    Ok.. who would I send away.. Realistically, Sealand, because there's no value in it and people wouldn't suffer if it went away but since I really get to choose and not lose my sleep over it.... it shall be.. China.

    Not that I don't like China, just that now we can take the dominating position there, and basically have no one to say what to do there. This will greatly weaken Russian power as well in the region and throw the whole Eurasian school of thought out of the window, so, I'd say China. But only because of strategic purposes, nothing else. I think if China isn't the future, it will continue to be us if something doesn't happen that we don't know about.

    Nahh,.. I still have to change that... I would mind if China was gone... ok a new one.. how about... saudi arabia? Yeah, that one.

    Sealand? The one in Denmark or the one in Iraq? Or is there even more of them around?

    The marshlands in the south of Iraq is known in ancient history as "the Sealand", apparently as translation of an Akkadian name. It supplied two lines of kings to the Babylonian throne, imaginatively known as the First and Second Dynasties of the Sealand.

    the Vatican should be bulldozed and turned into a parking lot. I've seen what the traffic in Rome is like and think this would be the best solution. The pope can move to Brazil where most of his followers are anyway

    Question

    Are we making the inahbitants vanish, just the culture vanish, just the government with it's sovereignty, the entire land area or all of the above to vanish?

    hmm, so many to choose from. I guess Iran would be my choice. Saudi Arabia is a close second.

    Though I'd want the option to remove all the oil from those countries before they went away. . I like my gas prices low.

    The nation. The people and buildings just vanish. Land remains.

    I thought about Iraq. Thought more seriously on Syria.
    My choice satisfies me.
