Thread Name: Dr Howells now insults the USA
Subject: RE: Dr Howells now insults the USA
Kingdom sexist? So it really ought to be called the UQ instead, for United Queendom? (Rather confusingly my dictionary defines "queendom" as "the kingdom of a queen".)

Whatever one might choose to call it, the constitutional status of Canada and Australia etc at this point is essentially the same as that of the UK (or the UQ if you wish).

What I found odd in that questionnaire wasn't that America came second from bottom. I tend to assume that big countries will always tend to be rather inward looking. If they'd included Russia or China or India I imagine they'd have scored pretty low as well. But what's up with Mexico?
