Our country is strange and unique. A great diversity of languages and cultures but all united under one constitution.
Since childhood we are taught to learn another language besides our mother tongue. If I am a French speaker, we can choose Spanish or English or both, although there is also the option of choosing a minority language such as Dutch or Zapotec.

Our grandparents and our parents grew up reading books or watching television and being able to watch it in their native language without knowing English which is the standard language when a film or a programme is produced and then translated into other national languages. This is because our 9th Amendment to the Constitution provides for it.
We can walk the streets without fear of strong and widespread discrimination because of our beliefs, our languages or our color, although there have been unfortunate incidents.

Every corner of the country is unique and unmatched, New York with its skyscrapers, Mexico City with its beautiful attractions, Havana with its streets and picturesque buildings. The Caribbean with its beautiful beaches, and Greenland with its eternal walks in the snow and ice. Did I mention the great Panama Canal?

Our economy has remained stable over the years and was able to withstand the global economic crisis of 2000 thanks to the reforms made in previous decades.
Our choices are different from other countries. With the 1900 reform, the system of government is governed under a semi-presidential system where the President (Head of State) and the First Secretary (Head of Government) are elected by a specific election.

Oh, and the endless days on Capitol Hill, with our senators and representatives of the four major political parties engaging in consensus and discussions on the country's laws. I am not saying that they are perfect, they have had their controversies but they have not gone to the extreme of being polarized as has happened in other nations.

Our Armed Forces are made up of the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, National Guard, Coast Guard and Border Guard. They are the largest combined Armed Forces in the world in most fields.
It's true what they say, in every city and town, there is at least one radio station and one newspaper company. And that every city and town can watch any of the 8 national television networks on open television unlike other nations where some TV channel is not seen in a town.

Oh, and the television programming is adapted to our area, in Quebec we watch Star Trek Voyager in French, while in Atlanta they watch it in English and in Guadalajara they watch it in Spanish all at the same time. But the live programming is a little different, because depending on the area, the Spanish version of "Buenos Días América" is hosted by Galilea Montijo while in English it's hosted by Diane Sawyer and in French it's hosted by Denise Bourgoin.

Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if the events that formed this nation had never happened. Other times I am glad that all this has happened.
It was nice talking to you my good friend, I hope one day we will meet, greetings to your family in Paris. Sincerely, your good friend Clark Kent Montebourg 5 May 2019.
