    We should work on the niceness factor and bring back God into the family.

    So becoming Britain then.

    May economy is doing good - it has surplus jobs but not a huge shortage of labour like FT.

    I'm not sure. Christianity was a good way of regulating a society, but I cannot believe in it.

    Celtabria has a religion that I haven't named yet. It's a blend of Classical Greek Stoicism with Buddhism - both two good philosophies to live by. Basically it's a bit like Buddhism with all the Asian-ness removed and infused with some European values.

    It's just letting the market be the market and focus the government on things that matter: education, defence, healthcare as the primary objectives.

    FT has some 2 percent unemployment so no real shortage of labour. But if we would have a labour shortage Pentland would be the first to profit when it comes to immigration to the mainland.

    The Church of the Commonwealth can be compared to the Church of England but it is essentially Dutch Reformed Protestantism (like the Protestant Church in the Netherlands) but in the interior some "local lore" is definitely still present.

    Note: Pentlanders don't even need a passport when they travel to Free Tristania since they are an overseas municipality and they can just enrol in schools here or work. They don't need work or study permits.

    Downside: tax-free shopping at the airport in Free Tristania or back home in Pentland when travelling up and down does not apply to them since they are flying a domestic flight.

    It's good because it means Pentland's economy won't be undermined.


    I'am going to establish Celtabria as a federation much like Canada. It shall have province and settler territories. Oeno Island has voted to join and hall become a province but retain self-governance.

    We should still seek to re-establish whether Celtabrians are by nature Free Tristanian citizens or whether they have their own citizenship because that hadn't been solved yet.

    It has been in limbo for quite some time. Celtabria will happily be a Canada to your Britain, monarch included. I'm governor general.

    I'd like a situation like the old white commonwealth - where each country has its own citizenship but a wider pan-Commonwealth one too. (this latter one was never official and was gradually written out of the immigration laws sadly).

    Canadians also used to have British passports so we will need to sort it out.

    Welfare not budging. Not had much questions on it. None the less. Expenditure is taking shape for what I'm aiming for.

    Sounds like an accurate description of the Free Tristanian armed forces...
