the funny thing is canada itself is maybe the perfect setup for a country. I mean if it were in game terms it would be like you rolled 3 natural 20s while making the character sheet. huge landbase, amazing political borders, right next to america which is an economic cheat code, near infinite resources, incredibly diverse and valuable resources, the best fresh water situation of any country, the best country for gains to global warming, and on and on and on and on
i agree. The US gets involved in trade deals to its own detriment all the time [there is a reason 90% of Canadas population lives within 100 miles of the US border].
And being a benevolent neighbor to the US, Canada could forego almost all of its national defense spending. The US wouldnt let anything happen to Canada, and no one would dare attack being so close to the US.
Canada could go have gone on existing in a prosperous near utopia but TPTB have turned it into a complete shit show.
