    No worries. I don’t expect everyone to know American history. But the founding fathers did originally merge the 13 colonies together as a confederacy. The biggest problem with that was it was difficult to raise taxes to pay for the Revolutionary War. Part of the reason France lost money and eventually had its own revolution.

    I’d also hazard anyone from copying the Balkans. Aren’t most of those countries pretty shitty to live in?
