Shhh, that delusion is the only thing that keeps Great Britain from realizing it's just like Puerto Rico, but with less beaners.

You son of a bitch. It was pretty funny though.

Crackers and beaners are one in the same people; we both bleed red, pay taxes, and die. The only real difference is that during muggings, one's carrying a knife, and the other is squealing like a girl and hurling numerous platinum credit cards at their attacker in the vain hope of staving off pain.

We allow them to stay a nation because they would go the nuclear route if we tried anything stupid. They know we would just try to zerg them with all the hillbillies and red necks over here who think that American imperialism is god's will. Also, the whole allies, common heritage, brotherhood thing.

Your list is invalidated for not mentioning the Macedonian Empire.

All empires at their greatest extent
1. British Empire - 33.7 million km2 (1946)

Population size
1. British Empire - 531.3 million

GDP size
1. British Empire - $918.7 billion

Good luck trying to link Italy with the Romans. Italy didn't even exist as a nation until the late 19th century, what little ground it managed to snatch was promptly taken away by, you guessed it, the British. At which point they were more than happy to let the Germans do their dirty work for them. Until things started looking bad that is...
