If you could peacefully annex any country, make it the 51st state and then benefit from your favourite export/culture/part of that country for free, which would you choose?

1. Nobody here cares about Cadburys even 10% as much as people in England care about Cadburys on our behalf

2. As someone who goes out of their way for imported Cadbury Eggs, oh absolutely they taste different. Ours crystallize in the cream rather than being smooth and are made of junk “chocolate.” As far as your actual question, I would love to see closer ties with Japan. Their advances in robotics would be a huge help in multiple industries, and I would love to see more of their food easily available here. Not to mention their contributions to video games and other media entertainment (also, maybe there would finally be a chance for US fans to get some Kingdom Hearts or Monster Hunter merch…..)

3. Taiwan for semiconductors, and because it would hasten the end of days. Maybe Hong Kong too, if it could be a package deal.

4. Let’s annex Russia and benefit from the peace of having one less major geopolitical rival.

5. Ukraine, and badasses

6. Australia. Just to piss them off.

   Say goodbye to the high horse, mates!

7. Scotland. I’d be down for cheaper scotch.

8. Yes, let’s annex another sovereign state for the taste of chocolate.
