the outcome of the election

A. By middle, I meant simply part of the russian territory.

B. The USSR had over 100 distinct ethnic groups, with only one of them killing school kids. What's your point?

C. There's all sorts of natinalities living in all sorts of nations. Does that mean they're all entitled to carve out their own country within the borders of the countries that they populate?

I am part Russian-Orthodox, part Russian-German and part Russian-Jew. According to your principle of self-determination, I constitute a distinct people. Should I try to carve out my own little country in Northridge, CA? And better yet, should the US let me?

And more to the point, should you bomb or murder the children of anyone who gets in your way of attempting to form a sovereign condition, agruing that "the Man is keeping me down?" <_<

One would hope not. If you need any help with writing that Constitution, I'll be happy to help, and can promise that there will not be a Prohibition provision in the Articles. Also volunteering for poet Laureate . . .

Now, don't let me put ideas into your head, but you might want to call your sovereign state Poontangia! :) Might attract immigrants, legal and otherwise.
