Other countries that used to exist within the present-day boundaries of the United States of America are still extant, but have relinquished or lost their empires: the United Kingdom of Great Britain, France, Spain, Sweden, Russia, and the Netherlands.

But the failed attempts at nations are more interesting than the colonial powers ultimately withdrawing.Report

  Mr. Likko, here are your messages from this morning:
  
  Mexico called. Apparently there’s some Mexican territories that they forgot to pick up when they granted independence to Texas.
  
  Also Denmark. They particularly said it was about some islands but not about Greenland. If it’s not about Greenland is probably not very important.Report
