Are there some countries it would be better just to see broken up?

Well, the Canadian flag is much less ugly. When it comes to anthems, I wouldn't say either have a good one.

Why continue arguing? Why not Take a Third Option and annex it altogether into Serbia? Finally we can get a chance of fulfilling our national dream of having Tokyo as a border town!

It might just solve the whole healthcare debacle.

Our healthcare system is one that covers things you don't need, but not things you do. :P

Plaster casts are covered, but not fiberglass, even though noone uses plaster ones anymore.

What about Belgium? The Flemish and the Walloons are at each others' necks.

Belgium is still without a government, isn't it?

Yeah, they made Finland look fast in comparison.

Pretty much only the king keeps the country together, what with the primary reason why Belgium existed in the first place increasingly irrelevant.

Nah, the only real reason Belgium was kept independent and not in the hands of anyone else was that Britain used it as a buffer state by virtue of it being very close to the island.

And so with ethno-linguistic considerations trumping others (like religion, which is pointless because Belgians are mostly non-religious, and Britain doesn't have to fear a Franco-German invasion despite fearmongering)...

Plus, wouldn't the USA subsuming Canada make it less appealing, since the provinces and territories would now be American but colder?

Er, the Whigs were the second party of the early 19th century... but this is going off-topic.

How about splitting Yugoslavia or Czechoslovakia? Oh wait.

The Republican party was actually started after the Whigs ended. There have never been three that lasted.

Call them States, call them Provinces... Just semantics.

Actually, Provinces have more autonomy than states, so it isn't exactly the same. Plus there's the matter of the states.

Also, Canada's governmental system is not exactly the same as America's, so it may be a bit of a headache changing everything.

And what Erock said. Soon you shall all bow down to the maple leaf!
