I wonder if England has gotten over the fact that they lost their colonies to a ragtag militia...
Hm?
The British decided to leave. A ragtag Militia (i.e farmers) never stood much of a chance against a world wide empire with thousands upon thousands uponn freakinggg thousands of troops at it's disposal. You're kidding yourself if you think otherwise.
You simply became to expensive to be worth it and so we decided to leave you be. You had a big *** ocean that saved you, if anything. That and the French, you asked for their help.
It's amusing because it's exactly like Iraq now, it's quickly becoming to expensive for your country to justify being out there and you will be leaving long before you take care of all those pesky terrorists (or militia if you like to call them that), funny when you think about it.
edit: But to answer your question, yes, we have. We're doing very well for ourselves, strong currency, big global influence, things are going good.
