If Disney does run with this and it takes off, one result will likely be thus: in the wake of _Frozen_, the Norway section of EPCOT became, essentially, a _Frozen_ merch zone. The ride which actually discussed Norge history became some Ella-related thing, and most of the Norwegian tchotchkes were replaced with Olaf and all the rest (to the chagrin of the real live Norwegians working there). So, if I were one of the folks working at the Morocco section of EPCOT, I believe I'd be drawing up a resume right quick. (Which sucks, because the Moroccan restaurant is really good, and features belly dancers, which is okay because education and culture and so forth. And don't distract Daddy from the nice zaftig Moroccan lady.)

I thought a country needed to have a war or coup to be a real country. Darn liberal education system lied to me again.

I saw a German movie a couple of years ago, Nirgendwo in Afrika (Nowhere In Africa), about a German-Jewish family who escape to Kenya during the Holocaust. They don't claim any land, and the father is incarcerated by the British (who ruled Kenya) for being a German national and the mother lives on a plantation as a servant. Oh and their daughter falls in love with an African. It was actually a pretty good movie.

King Grifter sounds like an updated version of the "Rev" Jim Jones who lured his followers (subjects?) to Guyana.

White folks have a knack for finding whole continents of "unclaimed land. " LoL
