54. Shared military between two separate nations

Sat Jul 2, 2022, 10:43 PM

who separated because they could not get along together? Not possible.

Separation, civil war, or revolution - seems like one of them is inevitable if some major changes in political climate don't happen.

But even separation might not solve the problems. Republicans are belligerent and aggressive. They would constantly be fighting over territory and resources.
