OOP describes themselves as "pro-corporation", thinks modern Russia is communist, and seems to spend an awful lot of time immersed in 4chan. Either they're trolling or they're about as bright as a cloudy night sky, and I don't much care which it is

I think this pizza might actually be enough of a bioweapon to fend off the PLA

The kingdom was before the republic. I assume you want to prevent the empire?

United Kingdom: recreate the English heptarchy, keep Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland as separate things, and then give London autonomy too. Now we have 11 that are all of a similar scale. Cumbria becomes part of Scotland and Cornwall becomes part of Wales to account for the parts that weren't in the heptarchy. If Northern Ireland unites with the rest of Ireland, we create a united body to represent the crown dependencies and overseas territories and count that as the 11th

His party seems to stop short of calling it either genocide or apartheid (at least in their manifesto, which has a section on Palestine). "Brutal onslaught" and "ethnic cleansing", yes, but the description of the post seems to be at least technically true

He must be close to resurrecting himself through sheer rage

Free mandate is about what they can do, virtual representation is about what they are expected to do. In a functioning democracy, you should expect a representative who fails to represent local issues to lose the next election unless most constituents agree with the virtual representation idea

I suppose there's the Olympic team? Although that doesn't include the republic of Ireland, and Northern Irish people can choose which one to compete for

I think part of the issue is that there's far less parity between the countries in football compared to rugby. All four teams are always at or near the top level in rugby, whereas only England is typically good at football, so a Lions equivalent would basically just be the England team again
