Here's another letter from Alix Cohen, this time as Estonia.
Dear Mr. Britain,
Thank you very much for helping me with my transition to the euro at the start of this year. I do wonder, however: with your financial expertise, you could have been a benefit to the euro community during the recent troubles. Why is it that you have not also changed your currency?
Thank you again,
Estonia
PS I would have asked America this, but my Internet connection has been down for several days: has he made progress on the nuclear reduction treaty with Russia? (I hope so!)
Estonia,
It's no problem at all – you changed quite smoothly to the Euro. I'm a little impressed…
Ah, the Euro? I've had France bugging me about this for a while now.
There are lots of reasons, really; my banks make a lot of money through changing euro to pounds and vice versa, and taking away that income would hit the economy quite badly. There are various other reasons… but really, I want to remain individual; I've always preferred the edge of the European rabble to the centre of it, and this is part of that…
Sincerely,
England.
P.S. The Nuclear Arms Treaty is going as well as it could, with that Yank being involved. He doesn't talk about it much… when I ask he goes oddly quiet and starts blushing…
Did I mention I'm a huge RussAme fan? ^/^
Oh, the Euro question? I had a moment of panic when I realised that I didn't actually know why we still used the pound? I always just took it for granted…
And no matter what you hear, it is NOT because we're Xenophobic. We are stubborn, cold, and stuck up at times, true, but not Xenophobic. The only countries we really insult is France – but they're French, and really, that joke tells itself – and America. And seriously, if we can put aside our differences, numerous as they are, with France in order to sign a Defence Treaty, then I doubt we would have any major problems with the rest of Europe.
Ahem. XD
