Believe me, I'm a teenager, I know how impressionable some of us can be. x_x Especially if, in Japan, only a portion of Japanese schools teach a World Geography course (not all US ones do, but some realize how important it is)

As a poor white British gaijin, I find the whole concept rather laughable. If it was an alternate future based on an alternate history where Britain won the War of Independance and expanded her powerbase throughout the colonies then yes, that would be a neat concept.

Okay it's fiction and fantasy, but really Britain taking over the world? God save King Lulu!
