I say we break off six of the worst red states and form them into separate countries just so we can reach 200 countries. I'm thinking about carving the colorado river around all of the Republic of Arizona and setting up a huge naval blockade with all the guns turned inwards.

Looks like you couldn't bear to read an article that didn't even mention the US.

I feel bad for the people from Southern Sudan that had to relinquish their status because of their jobs in the north. That seems rather harsh to go through really.

Hm, does this mean that the fighting will stop? And the trafficking of children into household slavery? I mean, I know that won't stop but perhaps will stem the tide...?
