DBWI wank the Yanks

Hopefully the Imperials* don't get up to their usual shenanigans anytime soon, and if they do I can tell you that we have the whole damned San Luis valley pre-registered. "The border was, is, and always shall be the Rio Grande!!!"

Please. Ever since Spain created the autonomous Empire of Mexico, it's been the site of much resent from everyone who's not a Peninsular or a Creole, even after its bonds with Spain withered away. They're in no state to conquer Texas.
 
Guys, the United States is a first world power, with a standard of living rivaling or exceeding Borealia's. Don't assume that just because we didn't rush to invade Mesopotamia or fight a "War on Terror" for the Queen we're backwards.

Yeah, I must agree. Just because we don't waste another generation because some Catholic radical extremist nutjobs in Italy - or Sunni extremists in Meso - committed an attack on the British Empire it doesn't mean we are a third world power or a pariah state. At least it shouldn't... were it not for these hawks Rooney and Gerrard in London!

EDIT: Also, we did support the Armenian Empire against both the Sunni extremists and this strange other faction who always used red and had taken up this absolutely unpronouncable ideology once again.
Have you forgotten that completely, Prime Minister Rooney and Reichskanzler Ballack? Why do London and Berlin fanboys continuously think of us as a developing nation?
 
I've read a few articles on American history that suggest that there were plans to call a Constitutional Convention to alter or even replace the Articles of Confederation. If it ended up with a more centralized government with more power over the states, that could be an excellent start. Add to that the Louisiana sale from further up in the thread, and the ingredients for a USA-wank are there.
 
We may be waning power,but need I remind you that we once owned the whole of Africa and India. Not to mention the fact that her majesty still technically is the ruler of over 30 nations. America would still have no chance against us. Rule Brittannia and God save the queen.

The Rooney/Gerrard team once again? Spreading fake news and anti-American propaganda, heh?

Indeed! I think if Washington had survived the War he could have been a unifying factor among Americans. Be that as it may, there was the failed Annapolis Convention. If Washington were there it might have succeeded in bringing in more states.

The unfortunate bullet Washington caught during the Battle of Yorktown was a disaster for the American people.

Even if he survived, there were(OOC:IRL, the idea was considered, but not seriously) plans to hire a Prussian prince to be the king of the new country.

But would the Americans have gone for a foreign prince when they could install Washington as King?

IIRC, he never liked kings all that much, even if he had a large plantation with slaves(which sounds like king potential for the time, even if the ethics of slavery were shown to be horrible later).

Heh, Prussia. I bet having a Prussian king would turn the US into a bunch of sauerkraut-eating surrender monkeys.

You said it! The Hapsburgs sure showed those Prussians, I mean they couldn't even beat us when they had France as their lackeys! The German Empire would not be the glorious country it is today with those damn Prussians leading it!
...what?

OOC:They are imaging Austria uniting Germany
 
I'm going to be honest, here, as a Texan I'm more than happy that that ridiculous, over-the-top version of America didn't come into being. Texas is prosperous, expansionist, stable, and efficiently run, and we adhere to decent values. I can't imagine some kind of disgusting empire, being held accountable to some government too busy kissing the boots of New York and California.

Glory to the Lone Star Republic.
