    So Alberta it is ....


    seriously though , I think you should buy western Sahara, that disputed desert land. Set up some fisheries there , bring some investors to build hotels on the beach, and of course , a few hundred kilometers deeper , you'll have ANOTHER nice B-52 parking lot.

      I've discovered a glitch with our plans on Kamchatka. Some of the Kuril islands between the peninsula and Japan are disputed. How do we deal with that?
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        even better

        provoke one of the sides , and make it look like the other did it, all hell breaks loose, we step in as "Peacekeepers".
        maybe we'll let some brits come with us , so it will look like a "coalition".... ... then .... ANNEX, ANNEX, ANNEX!

        there could be a little fallout problem for our ground troops , though.

          OK, so we'll get a discount.


          Discount? Hell, we better get it for free because of getting Asher!

            That's funny cause it's true. Even many of our die hard conservatives, still like certain aspects of a socialist type government.

                  US was offered Baja at one point and didn't buy it. (Not sure details.)

                      Dear lord no. Texas' contract specifies it has a say in which country it get's traded to, and Texas would never accept a trade to Mexico.

                          Considering your currency is worth only slightly more tahn Monopoly money, I'm sure we could reach a deal.

                            Our low-valued currency promotes our export industry, fuelling a 90 billion dollar a year trade surplus.

                              Yeah, but again, in Monopoly money

                              No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                                BTW, how much of that surplus is sent directly to Parker Brothers?
