    China wasn't ever in the empire, all you ever managed to do was get them addicted to opium and lease out Hong Kong.

      Speaking of Hong Kong, why the **** do they still get their own Olympic team?

        Why does Puerto Rico?

          Puerto Rico at least has its own anthem.

            Wait, Puerto Rico gets its own team, wtf?

            I mean, they're having a statehood referendum which will probably pass in the fall...

              I doubt it (will pass).

                I seem to recall reading somewhere that it's actually expected to pass, or is reasonably likely to. Can't find the article at the moment, though.

                      For what it's worth, both the official republican and democratic party policies are to accept the outcome of the referendum.

                      Puerto Rico would probably be a swing state, so it's hard to see any party immediately benefiting.

                          I really think there should be a women's double-d + cup Olympic trampoline category.

                            It's not a big change, really.

                              Also, if you go by population, Jamaica (5 million) currently has 9 medals (3 gold, 3 silver, 3 bronze) , and is a cinch to pick up a couple more. To equal that, the US would need about 600 medals, China would need about 2,400 medals.

                                Well, FFS, they have Bolt.

                                Congrats, Brits. Well-done.
