The Anglo-Sphere as a family

[Farnan]

England and Scotland are the father and mother. They used to be rich until they lost most of their money in lawsuits, but they still live comfortably together. They love their children, the US, Canada, Austalia, New Zealand and their brother Ireland but no longer live with them.

Ireland is the uncle of the family. He used to share a house with England and Scotland, but after a dispute in which he believed he was being abused they got in a fight and he moved out. Though he believes England and Scotland still owe him money (Northern Ireland) he has since resolved disputes and has gotten along with the rest of the family. He is real close to his nephew the US.

The US is the oldest and biggest son. When he was 18 he got in an argument with his parents and moved out to live on his own. Though he had troubles at first, he later gained huge success, and became close to the rest of the family again. A powerlifter, he is extremely strong though some people say he takes steroids and is prone to rage. He loves his family and considers them his closest confidents, but some of his family members believes he takes advantage of them, something he himself doesn't see.

Canada is the second oldest. Though tall, he lacks in muscle, especially compared to his brother the US, who is his neighbor. He is the goody two shoes of the family, but he is also the most social getting along with nearly everyone. Though there is a good deal of sibling rivalry with his brother the US, they both know they are family and will look out for each other.

The twins Australia and New Zealand are the youngest. Australia and New Zealand are best of friends despite being very different. Australia looks up more to his oldest brother and despite his small size is vicious in a fight, while New Zealand mostly wants to be left alone to read his fantasy novels. They are both close to their older brother the US, even though they claim he is always getting them into fights.

What do you think of this explanation of the relationships? I know I missed some Anglo-Sphere countries, feel free to add them.

I thought thta was going to be a discussion on some sort of Anglosphere union or something of the sort. I was rather surprised.

An interesting description, to say the least. I suppose the likes of the Falklands, Gibraltar and Cyprus are the family abbies?

There already is one de facto.

There already is one de facto.

I thought the discussion would focus on an official one, ranging in strength from a commonwealth-esque set-up (which yes, somewhat exists in a de facto manner) to something akin to the EU.

Heh. Me too. For a moment I thought this was the title of some kind of speech or idea by Joseph Chamberlain or something.

I think, Farnan, that you should admit that you're a Humon fan.

More like awkward red headed, freckled step kids.


Apologies in advance if I insulted any awkward, red-headed, freckled step kids in this forum.

More like adopted babies.

Dude, you need to see Hetalia then, its just like this, minus the fact the Canada is always mistaken by Cuba as America, no country remembers his name, even his pet polar bear doesnt know him.

[Dodge]

even his pet polar bear doesnt know him.

The joke is on you because Polar Bears are only found at the South pole AKA ANTARTICA, hence the name POLAR bears.

[Vizsla]

France is the dirty minded ex of Scotland. He keeps trying to win her back with money he screwed out of Germany. It seems to be working.

[Azog 150]

Actually Polar Bears are only found in the North Pole. Penguins are only in the Southern Hemisphere though.



Bit of an odd way of putting it but I guess its pretty accurate.

Ireland is more like the orphan Oliver Twist ...

The British probably want to think the Anglo sphere family is like this:

But it's most likely similar to this.

Very good analogy

I sincerely wish the Brits recover their balls sometimes ... As much as De Gaule is hated by Anglo-Saxons he would be a good role model for Britain.

Oh god no, i wouldn't mind Britain recovering a bit of it's assertiveness in Europe but De Gaulle was a nightmare, i wouldn't wish him on any country (except perhaps North Korea and Iran).

Yes, a nightmare for Americans ...

Yet to meet anyone in Britain that sees the UK as being the authority figure in the Anglosphere, Their Law, but sure why not...

Gah people are too serious on this forum sometimes.

I sincerely thought it was vice-versa.
