The United States of North America

ASIDE FROM THE QUESTION whether it makes any sense for alaska and hawaii to be part of the united states, let it be stipulated that they are a fait accompli, and then ask, why not go whole hog?

Cuba? Hispanola? What lovely additions these two places would make for the united states, and, while we're at it, all the islands in the caribbean, members of the grand union! Cuba, the dominican, haiti, all states, maybe a total of aas mnay as ten new states.

the cayman islands, currently the property of the british, would be a much better fit under american suzzerainty; the current arangement is nothing but a relic of a vanished empire. One thing you can say for the american empire; it has not yet vanished...(but stay tuned)

One would think that this arrangement would hasten the recovery of haiti from the great earthquake a couple of years ago. Local sovereignty is a fine thing, to be ecnouraged under all forms of central government, local control of schools, infrastructure, among other things.

But there are advantages to large scale central governments too, such as the ability to gather resources and organize society efficiently for the benefit of all. Think about the united states, canada, and mexcio, for instance, all part of a "united states of north america", with the capitol still in washington, and a new circulating currency, the "amero", teplacing the canadian dollar, the american dollar, and the mexican, um...peso?

would this not strengthen the economy of all the various participants, expanding markets, organizing resources, improving the standard of living for all, potentially? Any  takers?

After all, something must be done to offset the emerging chinese japanese empire. the europeans are all united now, for the most part, so why shouldn't the north americans do likewise?
