Break free? I don't think anyone in the rest of sweden wants to keep Skåne, and when you finally get to "break free" you're probably back to denmark
That would be awesome. Grab a shovel start helping me dig then
And sweden might not want us, they need us.
We stand for about 30-40% of the swedish crop/farm-industry.
And we also stand for one of the most important trade routes aswell. I am of course talking about the trade over to denmark. Many trucks drive there thru there to get to sweden.
You serious dude? First off, yes, the Romans did fight equal opponants with equal, just most of them were just said to Barbarians just because they werent Roman. They beat the Greeks, and invaded part of the Middle East, Eygpt, Gaul, Iberia, and North Africa. Carthage? Pontus? The Huns? The Franks? Then add on the innumeral Germanic Tribes. Weapons wise they were about equal. Some even had better (for instance the Hun's composite bow). The Romans won because of professionalism. Youre trying to compare that to the British mowing down African and Indian tribes with guns and cannons?
You got a real good point there. It is like when germans attacked polen during ww2(think it was, might have been 1). They had rifles, even MG's and the polish came with their state of the art cavalleri and sabers.
Second, the U.S. can be considered a modern empire because its the strongest nation-state on Earth. It owns territorys such as Puerto Rico and Guam. The U.S. military has been a factor in the instalation of multiple major governments. They are not puppet governments, yet they are set up based on our own. (Iraq, Afghanistan, Japan, West Germany (eventually all Germany). The U.S. military has golbal reach and has shown to be the most willing military to use that global reach. U.S. culture is spread all over the world and emulated throughout. Also the worlds most valuable commodity, oil, is traded soley in USD.
I don't know how much of that wich is true, probably more than I think. But he actually has a point. I don't really think that the empires owning stuff outside it's borders count.
If you do count those Wiseman, then brittish owns the falkland islands. Just so that you know that.

Check the collumn on the right: Government!
I for one don't call the brittish as an empire now a days, the whole thought of feels just plain wrong. Maybe beacuse it is small in landmass, I don't know, it just does not have the right feeling to it
Is it not even so that the Japan is the only empire that remains still today?
To me they are the only one that has an emperor, and I always thought that it was that wich put the emp in empire:nuts:
