A lot of these South American countries have weird territorial claims against each other. Territory-based nationalism because there was little else to build a nation on.

At least British possession of the Falklands really doesn't make any sense.

Re BRTD, Afleitch:

Yes... not what I meant.

Re BRTD: If the majority of the population of an expensive apartment block on the Lower West Side decided to be part of Liechtenstein on account of the lower tax rates, would you support that as well? (Just taking that to its logical conclusion.)
