Yep, we have to follow other people's mistakes instead, who won't even admit that they
are mistakes, 'cause they're on top....

No, because of it's previous independence. And you might discuss being a culture and a people
vis a vis being an independent country with Poles and Balts.....
Besides, the issue of legal secession from the United States has never been address in a
