UK to become part of North America

[CNGL-Leudimin]

So it seems the Brexit thing is far worse than expected. Apparently it's not just about leaving the EU, but also about leaving Europe completely and joining another continent, most likely North America (well, except for geographical position, which is impossible to change), with all the changes it implies: switching regions in worldwide organizations that divide Earth in several sections, some technological changes (however they will be allowed to continue using PAL rather than switching to NTSC), etc. This, however, doesn't affect map makers, which may choose to include an inset showing the UK in their North America maps or not. After all, they don't include the French overseas departments (Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, Reunion and Mayotte, the first three physically in the Americas, the latter two in Africa) as insets in their Europe maps.

So all this may make the UK to revert the decission of leaving the EU (and thus leaving Europe completely), since it would have an astronomical cost to do all the changes. But they have to negotiate first.

Yet another Nineteen Eighty-Four prophecy that has come true. In the book, Europe is absorbed by Russia (which becomes the country of Eurasia) except for Britain, which is annexed to the United States and becomes the country of Oceania.

Creepy!

In the Japanese anime series "Code Geass: Lelouch Of The Rebellion", the Britannian Empire is the greatest power of all.  It began when Napoleon won and the British royal family moved to North America.  Their enemies are the EU and the Chinese Federation while what we call Russia is part of the Empire.

Code is the power of immortality.  Geass is the power to do "something" with whatever that is differing from individual to individual.  Two seasons were made with a third one coming out this year after a long hiatus.  A supplementary series called "Akito The Exiled" fills in the gap between the first two seasons.  If you like complex storylines, powerful mechs, a bit of fanservice and a fine portrayal of philosophies in conflict, it will float your boat.  Subtitled and English dubbed versions are available for the first two seasons on YouTube with two episodes of "Akito The Exiled" being completed in such fashion and more on the way.

Or, April Fools.

This reminds me of something I read, I think it was a comment in the American Voices section on The Onion, about the UK vote to leave the EU and how their next vote should be on whether to become a Caribbean island.

Obviously I did this as part of April Fools. I thought several options, like the Hypotenuse freeway being approved, IDOT (the Illinois one) being renamed to IDiOT, or even just making a fool thread with a title like "How many toddlers' foreskins have you pulled back?" (Not to be taken seriously), but finally decided to make something related to the so-called Brexit. Coincidentally a Spanish newspaper published a humoristic map depicting UK being moved to near North America, but that was just coincidental as in Spain the pranks day is December 28th, not April 1st.

There are quite a few Euclid Avenues around the country...

Like one Euclid Avenue in Chino-Ontario-Upland, CA, also known as CA-SR-83. Take a nice drive on it sometime. You may find an agri-reserve south of Ontario-east of Chino where dairies can be found, and many of the dairy owners are of Dutch and Portuguese descent. Euclid Avenue meets Foothill Blvd. (Historic US Route 66) in Upland, the town touches the San Bernardino-Los Angeles county line.
