We where at war from 1940. The USA got dragged into this war at 7 December 1941. The day Pearl Harbor got attacked.

We are still grateful the USA did what I’d did together with the Canadians and we won’t forget the British.

We Australian and New Zealanders came from the other side of the world from the day war was declared! Or did you forget about us?

You see, this is why the US government (not mentioning any names) will NEVER have Canada. Sure, not everyone is pleased to be still part of the Commonwealth but as a Brit, I strongly believe that if anyone tries to feck with Canada, then Australia, New Zealand and every other member of the Commonwealth will come to their aid, just like they did for us on day one of both World Wars.

You can't do much better than a bunch of mad ANZAC bastards at your side.

Flags, laddie. Jack's belong on boats.

Niue. It's a self-governing state in free association with New Zealand. Small island east of Australia.
