I mean they already take part in the Eurovision so why not? Additional bonus: people will have an even harder time differentiating Austria and Australia

Please make sure to implement democracy first, we have enough issues with dictatorships and oligopolies already.

Of course!

Just lose the -

  • Guns

  • Tiny-penis trucks

  • the "right" to hate-speech

  • the religious weirdo thing

And you'll be getting close to the 20th century!

Moving the goal posts 😥

Yeah American Cheese the product is some crazy shit. You should try some artisan cheese from Wisconsin, though. World class stuff over there. I had a 15 year cave aged cheddar from there once and I'm still thinking about it to this day.
