    Which really means that Britain is on the list as well (well until they turn anglian church and also there break away with ties to the french and Spanish) so really the only people free of Hapsburg rule is THE RUSSIANS AND SWEEDISH.

    Pretty much. They are one of the oldest surviving civilizations, and that speaks volumes to me.

    The Bourbons were related to the Hapsburgs but they were only a domain under them when charlemagne and Louis where alive.

    Pretty much everything about them has changed you know. They're no longer worshiping their half-Animal Gods and their culture is totally different. It's not really the same civilization as much as the same people.

    Croatia

    Their culture survived for 1000 years even under hungarian, austrian, and italian rule.

    In 1991, they declared independence from the Serbian Yugoslav. They won their war of independence from the powerful Serbian Yugoslav in 1995. They can finally experience true independence from a country. Plus, the war reminds me of my country's, the USA, war of independence from the Brits.

    idk, honestly I hate them, S. Korea should have just reason to invade them, backed by the US and japan, but I dont think China would appreciate that.

    And then what? If South Korea would win and annex North Korea, they'd have this extra piece of undeveloped land which they'd have to build up while I presume under pressure of China.

    They wouldn't have to build it up, fortunately South Korea is very capitalist, it would be built up by private citizens. All the government would have to do is hook it up to water and electricity and the like.

    Which is why i said china wouldn't support that, rather so against it. So you've just pretty much pointed out something I corrected in the first statement!

    There no reasons to invade North korea, the regime is doomed once deer leader Kim Jon Ill dies. It might not happen overnight but give it a year maybe 5 and it will collapse.

    Kim Jon Ill must be already dead, or at least incapacitated. Has the regime fallen? No. His sons and their sons will take over, until toppled by a people's revolution. Or foreign intervention, I suppose.

    North Korea and South Korea will likely reunite within the next decade or so. The current Kim is dying of old age and of his 3 sons:
    1. Too Westernized [heard he snuck off to Japan a couple of times]
    2. Hooked on drugs [from what I hear]
    3. Not Westernized, but will lean towards reuniting anyways.
    Personally, I'll be glad.
    1. The Koreas unite
    2. China can pull out and not get blamed anymore
    3. South Korea will finally kick the U.S. to the curb
    *sigh*All will be well in the world... Lol. I wish...
