Most Likely Fourth Nation of North America

I dunno. Vermont doesn't have a coast line and would be too poor on its own to really last for 250 years, sandwiched between the US (which has claims on it) and Canada. It would be really cool to see an independent Republic of Vermont, though. An American version of the Netherlands? :)



Yeah, but that's still no real reason to refer to the area north of them as just "North America." Anglo-America might be a bit better (chosen vs Latin America) but still wouldn't be perfect, given Mexico and primarily Anglo Caribbean Islands. Not sure of any other possible names.

That wasn't what I meant to infer at all...what was meant was that Cen Am and the Caribbean were included as part of North America and there are more than just the 3 states.

More like Leichtenstein..skiing..and if you can get them into the watch making and bank business with strict privacy laws.....need we say more.
 
I'm suprised no one's mentioned the Inevitable Republic of Deseret.;)
(Yes, I know it didn't have a chance in hell of ever happening, but it would have been cool)
 
Question - Was not Vermont once part of NY. They broke away.

They once talked about this in another thread. That Central America and the Caribbean are on the Caribbean tectonic plate and not the North American tectonic plate. Cuba is said to be on the North American tectonic plate. Except for maybe a small piece in SE Cuba . That even though Bermuda is including has North America that
So North America should end at the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Seems certain geological information needs to be updated.

Well, really wouldn't Cen Am and the Caribbean be a subcontinent of North America in the same way as India is the "Indian Subcontinent" of Asia. and really as Europe is a subcontinent of Eurasia (While technically still considered two continents there is probably grounds for calling them really a single massive one.

and of course isn't Madagascar on a separate plate as well from Africa, but it is considered as a discontiguous part of the African continent
 
Saint Pierre and Miquelon

Easy. The islands of Saint Pierre et Miquelon declare independence (when oil is discovered offshore) and the new nation becomes the latest North American nation.

Or have I missed something?

I was thinking more along the lines of Vermont being hyper liberal and progressive in certain aspects. Gay marriage, legal drugs, maybe legalized prostitution long before the surrounding countries.

Could a very tiny Deseret (consisting of either Salt Lake City or perhaps Nauvoo) continue to exist as a kind of Mormon Vatican?

That would be awesome! :eek:

However, IIRC the LDS has always seen itself as an American movement, and would probably be more content as part of the US.

And likely nations - Quebec, Newfoundland and/or Labrador, Los Altos, Maya Free State, Texas, Miskito Kingdom.
