It's easier to change a monarch, than a US administration. We've done it here quite often since the Romans went home; admittedly got a bit messy at times, but we managed to change Edward VIII to George VI with a few bits of paper and signatures. In the US even if you get rid of the President his buddie steps in and takes over no change of admin.
I should have said 'It's true Aus is arid which explains why most people live around the coasts'. Yes Canada has a lot of uninhabitable land, but it also has huge land areas used for agriculture.
Slightly; however most democracies have a Head of State and a Head of Government, even Russia. The US however have a Head of State who is also Head of the Administration. The Head of State gets the ceremonial stuff and the Head of Government actually runs the (or tries to run) the country. The US the same person does the lot: so in many ways is more like a pre English Civil War absolute monarch.

She then considered that her employers and colleagues didn't apologise hard enough when they slipped up, and it ended up at tribunal. Thankfully they found against her. https://assets.publishing.service.g...st_and_others_2401211_2024___2407178_2024.pdf
Perhaps he could also give the Louisiana purchase back to France and while the Spanish might not want Florida back at the moment, I'm sure they'd accept California back.
I dont get this "They/Them" thing, to me they are plural terms, I know my English is not great but I'm sure they were when I was a school. "That" or "It" would be more appropriate.
I remember Bill Bryson writing about the various novel dangers in his excellent book Down Under. He was positively alarmed at the many excruciating ways in which you might accidentally die on a visit there.
