About that US keeping to itself bit... Very few countries do that, y'know. Globalization and that whole shebang. This makes it important for the kids to behave towards each other, and not make fun of older brother UK or sister Canada without a good reason, 'mmkay? We're stuck together, ain't got no choice. We're all a family whether we like it or not. Countries need to behave like adults and not fool around like children or teenagers for no good reason.
