Absolutely. Worldwide taxation is a bad policy, I hope that abolishing it is a promise that Trump will fulfill.

The Union Jack looks good in black, but the Scots probably wouldn't be too content with it, even if it still contains the saltire.

You have to file tax returns but you can apply for some relief if you meet certain criteria if I'm not wrong (If there's an American living abroad here, pls correct me).

Or, I would choose Palau, Marshall Islands or FS Micronesia instead. Those have freedom of movement in the US via COFA.

Yeah, I know, sadly. Then I'd probably go with my Slovak passport, even though its only point would be to be able to vote in our elections if I had an Irish one.

Edit: Or the UK, even if purely for the aesthetics of it (again, if I had an Irish one). The post-Brexit cover is a work of art, even though Brexit sucks.

Ireland, US, Canada, Australia, Japan (but would have to keep it secret) and some LATAM country (probably Argentina).

• Ireland - Access to the UK and EU, no conscription
• US - Big developed country, no conscription, allows multiple citizenships
• Canada - The same
• Australia - The same plus NZ access
• Japan - Big developed country, no conscription
• Argentina - Mercosur access, no conscription

In Slovak, strawberry is jahoda and blueberry is čučoriedka which is probably our unique word as even Czech has a very different word for it (borůvka)

I read it as daß at first which is the old spelling of dass.

This is strong!

If they control the House, they can choose a Speaker and then make them President by impeaching and convicting the President and VP, of course that is if they have the majorities needed or the opposition party supports them.

If the Senate convicts the President, they are removed from office and the VP becomes the next President for the remainder of the term.

Early elections do not exist in the United States, the term has to be completed.

Kim wins this race without competing!

The head of state in Canada has no real power and has symbolic roles only (with some exceptions)

I'd say the prime minister of Canada has more political power in Canada than the US president in the states as the Westminster system ensures the PM has control of the executive branch and most of the time the legislative branch.

I agree. In Slovakia, we also use a parliamentary system, but instead of a powerless King, we have a powerless elected President. The PM is the main political power here as well, and as he's required to command the confidence of the legislature, he's usually able to pass laws.

The difference though from a Westminster system is that the the PM and ministers' mandates as MPs are suspended during the time they serve in the executive and they are replaced in the legislature by the following candidates from the party lists they come from (we use proportional representation instead of FPTP which makes this possible). This is supposed to add more division between the executive and legislative branches, though it's debateable whether it does anything.

But as a Canadian, it's baffling to see that positions such as judges and sheriffs are elected and politicized when they are apolitical and independent institutions in Canada.

Yeah, that's probably done that way only in America. I don't know whether there's any other place with directly elected judges.

April 1 was a week ago...

He can declare that he's changing the name, but it would mean as much as me declaring it. He doesn't have the authority to do so.

The US has a low population density which gives planes an edge over passenger trains.

Every country has its own set of problems. I would choose many countries over South Korea to live in, but I would choose South Korea over even much more countries.

But there's not a single person in North Korea who's living a better life than the average South Korean. Not even Kim Jong Un, as he is confined within the borders of the world's largest prison, which was built by him and his ancestors.

But you can't run an election campaign if you cannot criticise the incumbent.

Democracy can't work without being able to mock the leadership.

It depends on which language. Languages such as French or Slovak have official regulatory bodies who declare words "official".

English doesn't, so it's way more liberal in this matter.

This is from 2024 and the Assad regime fell only in December.

Ok, this is really OP.

Lieutenant Governors. The representatives of the King of Canada in the provinces, appointed by the Governor General on the PM's advice.

It's because unlike most constitutional monarchies, the Japanese Emperor is even de jure just ceremonial. In other constitutional monarchies, the monarch does de jure hold executive power, even though it's de facto exercised by the PM and Government.

That's why the Canadian, British, Malaysian, Australian, etc. passports invoke the King/YDPA, but the Japanese one invokes just the MFA.

And then there's the Slovak one with no note at all 🥲

There's no denying of that. Orbán has been fucking the entire Union for long enough to make most realise this.

Well, well, quite rude and mistaken of you calling Spain´s soverignaity demands over gibraltar imperalist wet dreams, since the UN recognised since 1967 that gibraltar's colonised situation tears down Spain´s national territorial integrity (Resolution 2353 (XXII)) . Further more, the gibraltar territory is still on the list of UN colonised territories.

This is entirely a political theatre by anti-UK dictatorships at the UN. The Gibraltarian leadership has repeatedly begged the UN to take them off that list, to no avail.

Oh, and if you actually look at the Utrech treaty, good chunk of the territory, (namely that of the airport) and the waters are not included and currently illegaly occupied.

By this logic, we could call anything illegally occupied (like when Spain took the Canary Islands for example). It happened a very long time ago, Gibraltar has been British for longer than it was Spanish, the Gibraltarians have voted by insane majorities to remain British.

Meanwhile we should be thankful that people like you are not the one in charge of negotiating said treaties, since both your knownledge and you ability with words shine for their absence.

Well, I'm not a politician, no need to maintain a diplomatic facade for me.

You can vote them out - Theoretically, voters could give Dems the majorities needed for a successful impeachment and conviction in the 2026 midterms.
