England could be bought, but who would want it? What would you do with it? How would you defend it?
Now Australia and Canada? That is another matter.

We almost had Canada were it not for a crucial battle near Detroit. Pity, Canada is 1/10 of what it should be. It is the worst under achiever in the world. With all that they have they should be a powerhouse. Instead they have embraced every bad idea the US and England ever had and made them worse.

It is the worst under achiever in the world. Yes, Canada should be a world leader. Sadly, it's mostly forgotten about. As it is, the sun has long set on the British Empire.

Can we offer them California instead?
And throw in Detroit for good measure?
To: gibsonguy
We could trade Quebec to the EU for the Brits.

CA is not the problem, the government leaders in CA is the problem.
It is a beautiful state run by the most insane in the asylum.

Detroit? Impossible. Totally Impossible.
Worse than most of the bombed out cities in Europe after WWII. Car companies closed because it was impossible to operate under local government.
Import cars took the market.
Residents live with the shell of a huge industry vacant and the revenue from the jobs has been gone for a generation.
Like living on the Border in Mexico.

And then there is the modern-day plan to sell Alaska to China to pay off our debt... discussed among military elites of the Bush Jr. Era in earnest. Pebble Mine controversy, that sticky Alaskan Constitution that cedes land rights to state citizens... and all that.

Not sell all of Britian, just the landmark structures.
London Bridge is already in Arizona.
