You started it by putting American Empire on your list and then stating you did it to piss off the Americans, so what are you wondering about?
No, Jay, sorry.
But what does it have to do with the British Monarchy. Getting rid of the British I can see, but what does Right Honourable George Bush have to do with it?

I quite clearly stated that I would be taking a short interlude from the main topic; I did not request that the main topic cease altogether. Nonetheless, if I have caused a problem with my question, consider the query withdrawn.

Yes, where the hell have you been?
Five, quit apologizing, you did nothing wrong.
How does Sir I Think Not sound?

IIRC, to carry the title "sir" you need to be british by birth. That is why canadians that are knighted are never refered to as "sir...".
I don't think you would want the title anyway, ITN, since it involves swearing allegence to the head of the house of windsor rather than just swearing AT the house of windsor.... :grin:

I dunno Caracal, Sir I Think Not has a nice ring to it. Or better yet;
ITN the First, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of His other Realms and Territories King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith and what the hell throw in the United States of America too.

I wouldn't say that the Vikings had an empire. They were a loosely knit settlers/traders/raiders with the same homeland.
I'm suprised that no one mentioned the first emperor of china Shiguandi...Shihuangdi, or something like that who created the Qin Dyasty (pronounced Chin). The landmass that he unified at that time and age was much more complex than the Roman expansion, and even to this day China still has it's namesake created from the first emperor.

I managed to read this entire thread without commenting or smarting off. Got to this one, and it nearly cracked me up and threw me off my chair.
"Commoner Americans?" There is no such thing as a commoner, because there is no such thing as a royal in America. Well, once in a while you run into a royal pain in the arse... :lol: .

unclepercy, that is true. Even in the United Kingdom and Canada, the House of Commons does not make reference to "commoners" having an elected Chamber, but rather is derived from the term Anglo-Norman term for "localities," which is communes.
The House of Lords in the United Kingdom is, perhaps, one of the few remaining "separations" between commoners and some higher status that could be deemed to have continued into the twenty-first century.
