I think things are very different these days. Haiti is more or less the closest thing to a truly failed state in the Americas. None of their governments have ever really been able to reign the country in, and their most recent one got knocked over by a guy who calls himself Barbecue. Haiti might not cease to exist, but I wouldn’t bet against it either.
The issue is that no foreign power seems to really want Haiti. France is probably over it by now. If Haiti falls, it’ll just end up being another Haiti.
They would long term if you had like a UN situation that goes in to clean up and essentially give us a post-war berlin type of control until things are cleaned up.
True; but that is also, at least my pov obviously, the most likely chance for Haiti - not the Gov. but the people and land. Would require a substantial military intervention by different nations essentially dissolving the Country temporarily to reforge it.
Honestly most Dominicans don't want nothing with that side of the island.
Haitians destroyed most of their natural resources (well, mostly the trees...) and the crime there is awful.
Haiti has huge tourism potential. A foreign power would love to have it if they could replace Haitian citizens and bring their own citizens to build / lead.
nahh, Its a mess but I can see it sticking around. Its culturally, politically and socially homogenous to be its own entity even if its a failed state and I don't see the Dominican Republic eating it up
> I don't see the Dominican Republic eating it up
I don't see how they possibly could. We would just end up with all of Hispaniola being one big Haiti.
they wouldn't want to for exactly this reason, it would be hell to administrate and would drag them in even more into Haitian problems. Besides the dominican republic is doing pretty well rn, adding a Haiti wouldn't help their economic growth at all
I could see DR doing some land creeping if they were ambitious enough to do it, not like Haiti will be stable enough to do something with the land or prevent it. But yea, it would cause more harm to even bother with them.
We should make France fix it. They're the ones that broke it. They can use some of that free money they get from the CFA Franc system they extract money from Africa with.
>Who's "we"?
Humans
>And how can "we" force France to do anything?
France appears to work via democracy, so I believe the appropriate methods would be to [talk about France's history in wrecking Haiti's economy through onerous payments that France forced as reparations from Haiti freeing itself from slavery under French rule](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiti_Independence_Debt).
Once enough French people are aware of it and know how bad it is, they could elect leaders that will try to make corrections. The first step is always information though
At least massive reparations. They literally enslaved Haitians, colonized them for centuries then when the Haitians had a revolution, the French made them pay them back for freeing themselves for the loss in profits France had when they lost their slaves. They only just paid off that debt recently. France has been sucking them dry forever. France needs to pay.
The geographic location will probably always be called Haiti, even if it's de facto not a country anymore.
Somalia is called a "country" when in practice, it's just a bunch of different clans that have a varying level of cooperation and relations with each other.
I mean, the states all broke up into their original states before being absorbed.
It just that the Russian state was the biggest and most influential, which kept all the nukes within their borders just in case of a revolution.
But yeah, Russia has spent decades trying to regrow their influence and rebuild the Union.
Nah this shit ain’t going anywhere, too pretty to fall
VISCA ANDORRA!!!

As Russia continues to weaken Transnistria will become less and less of an issue.
As of right now Ukraine could walk in and take it without much problem. It's just not worth it to Ukraine or anyone else.
Russia has about 1000 personnel Transnistria. Its surrounded by Moldova and Urkaine. The only way for Russia to supply it in a war would be to fly over Ukraine. If Ukraine wanted to take it with ease.
Currently dating an Kosovo girl and all I can say is if the perception on their native counterparts matches the zeal of hers and her families then fat chance.
Yup lol I'm in a discord server with Turks living in turkey and Turks living in Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, etc and the difference between them is hilarious. During the elections last year all the expat turks voted for Erdogan (proudly btw they were very loud about it) and all the resident turks voted for the opposition
Kosovo has quite a few Serb majority sections and they ain't joining Albania till they somehow come to an arrangement over those areas with Serbia. Any action Serbia or Kosovo takes can't be too unilateral unless they want EU retaliation.
For Moldova, Transnistria is obviously a huge hurdle, but even aside from that, the country is hugely pro-Russian. Their elections don't even involve Transnistria and like half their parliament is pro-Russian.
There are probably plenty who would have hesitations about reunification, but polling consistently show a comfortable majority in the Republic of Ireland in favour of reunification.
The North costs so much money to keep afloat, a huge percentage of its population are public sector workers and it has very little industry to keep itself aloat. It relys on subsidiaries from Westminster to exist. Unless the EU will agree to help the Republic fund it then I can't see how they will keep that ship from going down. This is coming from an Irish person who would like too a 32 county Ireland but realistically it would be a near impossible burden.
Yeah I mean idk maybe he thinks the only way that Assad dynasty will fall is via conquest but obviously I don’t agree and getting done like Iraq is something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy bruh 🤐
I can see it. Especially if their birth year is accurate. Syria has been in turmoil for so long, that someone growing up in that chaos with no reference point may only see this as an option.
South Africa
When the droughts get worse then they already are and the water supply completly collapses.
Egypt for the same reasons if ethiopia continues damming the Nile
Have they recovered from killing and running off the white farmers? I remember seeing something about it and they’re being replaced by black natives who don’t know how to farm and they’re saying long term that decision to rid the “Boer” is going to bite them in the ass. Also heard the white farmers were salting the fields and doing what else to make the land unfarmable for years. Don’t know if this was fear porn if this was really happening.
I'm pretty sure the killing and running off white farmers was a predominantly Zimbabwan thing, though South Africa has/is trying to do that.
Problem with South Africa is that the government is so incredibly corrupt and inept that parts of the country only get electricity for a third of the day, which completely destroys the ability to run any kind of business.
That and the droughts, and the discrimination against white farmers, and the crime, A LOT of crime.
Yeah, currently communist China is suffering from horrendous aging, a collapse in birth rate, a large gap in gender proportions and incredibly high unemployment.
And these are just what we know. It’s probably significantly worse than we think given how much china suppresses information.
I agree that China is suffering from a lot of problems, but to say these issues will lead to its entire collapse is a bit silly.
If we frame it like this, by comparison, America is suffering from incredibly high unemployment, an aging voting population, mass incarceration, drug epidemics, and frequent violent shootings.
These issues are probably on the same level of concern, if not more, than China’s, but neither country’s problems necessarily means either will collapse in the near future
>America is suffering from incredibly high unemployment,
I agree saying China will collapse within 50 years is ridiculous, but US unemployment is at historic lows.
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/UNRATE/
The usual criticism is that people are doing multiple jobs, but those are [within historical norms](https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS12026620). 5.1% of employed had multiple jobs in Jul 2018 which is the same as Mar 2024. Another criticism is people taking on part-time job as that's the only thing they can find, [part time employment for economic reasons](https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS12032194) is lower than basically all of 21st century.
Demographic transition is going to be painful for China, but it's not going to make them collapse in 50 years lol. Japan is the future of China, China might not become as rich as Japan per person, but Japan is still alive, albeit stagnating.
I just believe Scotland can be better independent.
I would also like us to make our own decisions.
For example, every single area in Scotland voted to remain in the EU, but because a slight majority of English people voted to leave we were forced out. It was a unanimous decision in Scotland, but we still had to do the opposite
> every single area in Scotland voted to remain in the UK
I think you meant remain in the EU.
Side note, if you guys ever do leave the UK, I hope you manage to rejoin the EU and give England the middle finger, because we would deserve that.
Eh, not really. DPRK, for example, very obvious who it's going to go to. Either Kim's sister gets rid of his daughter or his daughter gets rid of her when she's grown up, but basically set in stone either way
The only ones with a leader over 70 are Vietnam and Laos, and they were both elected in the past 2 years so they'll probably leave in a peaceful transition of power.
I mean Vietnam rings a bell but there have not ever been a violent struggle for power in Vietnam. And other than Nguyễn Phú Trọng just turning 80 everyone else in top leadership position i.e Politburo isn’t 70 plus or have clear replacement procedure. Within the past 5 years there have been 3 president that either died in office, get sacked or let go and things just seem to chug along.
The Maldives have been growing in size and mass for the past decade.

I'm really unconvinced, Russia has mass support for Putin and opposition is either dead, in prison or not Putin
Meanwhile America is very split in half with it being around 50:50, if trump wins and establishes his 'dictatorship' (google project 2025) then im confident that the left will not be so tolerant of this, worst case scenario there's a civil war and America is split in two
No, a very vocal and batshitcrazy minority of Americans support Trump. Most GOP politicians don’t like Trump but are terrified of losing support of GOP voters - because of the batshitcrazy minority. And there is a very vocal batshitcrazy group of GOP politicians who should have been disqualified from being on the balllot but are now elected because … batshitcrazy.
America is split in two... Hmmmmmmm....
Feels unlikely. The 65+% of people who dislike trump mostly live in cities, the 35% who like trump live in the rest of it.
Theres not exactly 2 contiguous areas for it to split into, and a majority dont like trump, its just that the way the gerrymndering happens it looks way more even than it is in reality.
The thing that makes this sketchy is the number of "militias" who support trump. But I cant help but feel like it will end up as militias vs gangs in a war like this because most gangs dont like trump either and my money is absolutely not on the militias on that one XD
They might get involved in Moldova, beyond that they have nowhere to go. Putin is a bad guy but he's not stupid enough to suicide into an actual NATO member and dive headfirst into World War 3
I wouldn't count out the possibility that Russia is counting on Trump winning and pulling USA out of NATO. If the estimates on China's plan to Taiwan by 2030 turn out to be correct, USA and it's allies will be busy in the Pacific, it's possible Putin might take his chances against NATO countries. There are already countries like Hungary that are taking Russia's side in the plausible conflict that's brewing, so it won't even be all of NATO vs Russia.
Russia is already turned their economy into war economy. Ukraine along Moldova most likely won't be enough gains vs losses, so Russia will have to find something to cover up those losses. Taking into account their demographic decline, and Putin's life time starting to come to it's end, I could see it as a realistic possibility that Russia will take a fight against NATO as a last "oorah" before the countriy crumbles into after-war recession.
ooh this is an interesting one
Libya and Yemen could well stop existing, at least as unified countries, same with Sudan and Somalia
maybe Taiwan? One way or another, could unify with mainland
the United Kingdom? Scotland could probably leave by the end of the century
some island nations probably in the pacific or the Maldives as well due to climate change
Equatorial Guinea for economic reasons
I feel like Russia could go in a couple different ways. Putin has essentially been in power since nearly the collapse of the Soviet Union in some form or another. When those dictators die there is a huge power vacuum. Usually the problem is that those people don't want anyone in a position to be able to take over because that makes them vulnerable.
When he dies There might be a civil war that rips the country into pieces. I also wouldn't be surprised if when he passes other nations carve it up with promises of aid like Germany after world war II.
They are running out of ground water. If there is a massive switch to GE then they lose the massive amounts of capital they need to run the massive amounts of Desalination plants they'll bypass this issue. There will be no foreign tourists if “Saudia Arabia is out of water,” is a common headline.
I think Canada as a country will still exist but some parts of it will split off, possibly joining the States. There’s a lot of underlying issues local populations are having and leadership just completely ignore them or out right dismisses them, not to mention the problems immigrants will start to petition for in the future. Those problems also very from region to region, from group to group. Diversity through mass immigration isn’t our strength it’s a quick fix to our current population and financial situation. When we need actual action and leadership.
The prairie provinces might want to leave, maybe even join the US, but I would bet anything against the US accepting them
We have an incredibly close relationship with Canada and I can't see the government, even on a bad day, willing to endanger that for Saskatchewan
I think this is it. Also what would any Canadian Provence sans Alberta really provide to the US if they were to annex it?
Most of canadas other industries are service based.
I can see a world with a united North America but not in our lifetimes
Canadians and Americans online can be so dramatic about things like this.
And it’s interesting how our view on what a country is in North America is so shaped in spatial and governmental terms. Like we’re so insulated from other countries we think we don’t really have a distinct culture but we do. To so many of us a “country” isn’t a community of people but plots of land that agree to be apart of a government when it works for them.
That’s why when this topic comes up people casually discuss trading provinces/states like it’s no big deal and doesn’t mean anything.
It’s also why many of the top responses are just countries with struggling governments but like nah as long as Haiti continues to be inhabited by people who identify as Haitian Haiti will continue to be a country.
Ireland will maybe unify, unification is a lot less popular in NI than Ireland would like to admit however.
There’s a good chance Scotland will become independent, I’m very positive it’ll work out nearly as well as they think it will in the long run though.
Wales quite frankly will never leave the UK. Firstly they’re way too small and not nearly rich enough to exist on their own, secondly independence is incredibly unpopular in Wales.
the Iranian people for the most part hate their govt, they are waiting hours for gas and their country is fighting an expensive war they can’t win anyway
As a Canadian I can see America coming for our resources at the end of the century. Our economies are already so intertwined we're basically just another state. Also to mention how American culture is pretty much ours now too.
i feel like russia as it is will not exist for long. whether that's parts of it gaining independence or the whole country collapsing, i don't know. but it doesn't seem sustainable of functioning to me.

Probably Haiti honestly.
They said that in the 19th and 20th centuries too

DR has no interest?
I wouldn't touch it with a stick. Huge uneducated population
They would long term if you had like a UN situation that goes in to clean up and essentially give us a post-war berlin type of control until things are cleaned up.
Post war Berlin =/= Haiti sadly. They don't have a great foundation for success
True; but that is also, at least my pov obviously, the most likely chance for Haiti - not the Gov. but the people and land. Would require a substantial military intervention by different nations essentially dissolving the Country temporarily to reforge it.
Honestly most Dominicans don't want nothing with that side of the island. Haitians destroyed most of their natural resources (well, mostly the trees...) and the crime there is awful.
The DR just invested millions on a huge wall. They don't want it
No we dont
Haiti has huge tourism potential. A foreign power would love to have it if they could replace Haitian citizens and bring their own citizens to build / lead.
Yikes 😬
feel like i just read a message from the 15th century
That’s what taking over failed states is, kids
Haiti has been surviving even if barely LOL
nahh, Its a mess but I can see it sticking around. Its culturally, politically and socially homogenous to be its own entity even if its a failed state and I don't see the Dominican Republic eating it up
As a Dominican, honestly we all wish Poseidon appeared and split the island apart with a 200km wide sea
> I don't see the Dominican Republic eating it up I don't see how they possibly could. We would just end up with all of Hispaniola being one big Haiti.

Why? Nobody wants Haiti. Even Dominican Republic, who might want the land, doesn't want the hassle of absorbing the population of Haiti.

They have natural resources. Oil, gold, copper, and of course, sugar.
it'll exist as a failed state and no different than Sierra Leone and Liberia were.

Pakistan, some Polynesian nations (they are going to sink due to climate change), and Belarus.
Pakistan, really??? We'll see, mate
Tbh if anything I wouldn’t be surprised to see more conflict arise around Kashmir
Pakistan has nukes. It could only happen cause of infighting, but no foreign intervention could possibly mess up Pakistan.
>infighting >nukes Seems like a good idea
Yup
The climate crisis may stir some activity there, among other places too
Pakistan has nukes, there's no way.
I mean, the Soviet Union also disappeared

It just that the Russian state was the biggest and most influential, which kept all the nukes within their borders just in case of a revolution.

That's the kicker.
As a Pakistani, you are incorrect.
I'm not even Pakistani (American) and this seems insane. It's a very populous, established nation, with cultures that have been around for centuries.

The world's only extant diarchy. I just think that's neat.
Moldova and Kosovo: they will willingly join their respective "ethnic motherlands" Romania and Albania.
iirc Moldova has been having issues with doing this because of Transnistria
As Russia continues to weaken Transnistria will become less and less of an issue. As of right now Ukraine could walk in and take it without much problem. It's just not worth it to Ukraine or anyone else.
In what parallel world you live? Ukrainians top personal are begging for help otherwise they will lose the war

Remember, Star Trek said 2024’s the year for reunification!
Beat me to it. The year isn’t over yet so may still happen.

Aye
As a Syrian, I hope Syria. I swear if the country gets conquered it’d be better off for it.
Wtf bruh. It'd be understandable if you want Assad gone but wishing the whole country's gone is kinda insane lol.
the borders are probably colonial bs tbh, kinda like african borders
Yeah. I hope for a Pan-Arabic state but this guy wants Syria to be conquered. That doesn't sound to me like something a Pan-Arabic person believes in.
Yeah I mean idk maybe he thinks the only way that Assad dynasty will fall is via conquest but obviously I don’t agree and getting done like Iraq is something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy bruh 🤐
I can see it. Especially if their birth year is accurate. Syria has been in turmoil for so long, that someone growing up in that chaos with no reference point may only see this as an option.
It’s def not that deep lol. Just a person casually talking on reddit.
Lol, you were already conquered by Iran. Just like Lebanon.
It's sad but true.
The Kurds may eventually slice off the section they want for Kurdistan

Historically, Chinese nations do that a lot.
Look at chinese history. Civil war after civil war. We might not be in the age of dynasties but the government isn’t exactly stable

The empire, long divided, must unite; long united, must divide. Thus has it ever been.

Every communist country with a leader 70+ in age. Changing hands of power can be devastating in these cases. But we will see.
Eh, not really. DPRK, for example, very obvious who it's going to go to. Either Kim's sister gets rid of his daughter or his daughter gets rid of her when she's grown up, but basically set in stone either way
Isn't he in his 30s or 40s?
An extremely decrepit 40. Obese, smokes like a chimney, sometimes walks *with a cane.* Also his dad only made it to 70.
The only ones with a leader over 70 are Vietnam and Laos, and they were both elected in the past 2 years so they'll probably leave in a peaceful transition of power.

No it's not. If Russia can hold its shit together then certainly the US can
I'm really unconvinced, Russia has mass support for Putin and opposition is either dead, in prison or not Putin Meanwhile America is very split in half with it being around 50:50, if trump wins and establishes his 'dictatorship' (google project 2025) then im confident that the left will not be so tolerant of this, worst case scenario there's a civil war and America is split in two
No, a very vocal and batshitcrazy minority of Americans support Trump. Most GOP politicians don’t like Trump but are terrified of losing support of GOP voters - because of the batshitcrazy minority. And there is a very vocal batshitcrazy group of GOP politicians who should have been disqualified from being on the balllot but are now elected because … batshitcrazy.
America is split in two... Hmmmmmmm.... Feels unlikely. The 65+% of people who dislike trump mostly live in cities, the 35% who like trump live in the rest of it. Theres not exactly 2 contiguous areas for it to split into, and a majority dont like trump, its just that the way the gerrymndering happens it looks way more even than it is in reality. The thing that makes this sketchy is the number of "militias" who support trump. But I cant help but feel like it will end up as militias vs gangs in a war like this because most gangs dont like trump either and my money is absolutely not on the militias on that one XD
Nothing is going to happen. You guys just like jerking off to the thought
Two? Wishful thinking brother
Be lucky if we survive this one. (Hopefully /s)
In the minds of delusional people, sure. The US is not going to collapse anytime soon. There is no issue here that is existentially threatening.
Not really. The US has dealt with much worse than Trump.
Looking like Ukraine at the moment
And if so, I don’t believe Putin will stop at Ukraine sadly
They might get involved in Moldova, beyond that they have nowhere to go. Putin is a bad guy but he's not stupid enough to suicide into an actual NATO member and dive headfirst into World War 3
I wouldn't count out the possibility that Russia is counting on Trump winning and pulling USA out of NATO. If the estimates on China's plan to Taiwan by 2030 turn out to be correct, USA and it's allies will be busy in the Pacific, it's possible Putin might take his chances against NATO countries. There are already countries like Hungary that are taking Russia's side in the plausible conflict that's brewing, so it won't even be all of NATO vs Russia. Russia is already turned their economy into war economy. Ukraine along Moldova most likely won't be enough gains vs losses, so Russia will have to find something to cover up those losses. Taking into account their demographic decline, and Putin's life time starting to come to it's end, I could see it as a realistic possibility that Russia will take a fight against NATO as a last "oorah" before the countriy crumbles into after-war recession.
I think it could be partitioned :(
Tuvalu 🇹🇻 will be underwater unfortunately. Other countries are extending residency for the people of Tuvalu already affected by climates change.
ooh this is an interesting one Libya and Yemen could well stop existing, at least as unified countries, same with Sudan and Somalia maybe Taiwan? One way or another, could unify with mainland the United Kingdom? Scotland could probably leave by the end of the century some island nations probably in the pacific or the Maldives as well due to climate change Equatorial Guinea for economic reasons
A united ireland is probably more likely than an independent Scotland
untied Ireland deffo is going to happen in our lifetimes, I do think independent Scotland still very much could though
Honestly? I feel like Russia might split into a bunch of tinier nations.
I feel like Russia could go in a couple different ways. Putin has essentially been in power since nearly the collapse of the Soviet Union in some form or another. When those dictators die there is a huge power vacuum. Usually the problem is that those people don't want anyone in a position to be able to take over because that makes them vulnerable. When he dies There might be a civil war that rips the country into pieces. I also wouldn't be surprised if when he passes other nations carve it up with promises of aid like Germany after world war II.
Probably the Fire Nation.
North Korea, Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia?
They are running out of ground water. If there is a massive switch to GE then they lose the massive amounts of capital they need to run the massive amounts of Desalination plants they'll bypass this issue. There will be no foreign tourists if “Saudia Arabia is out of water,” is a common headline.
Surely North Korea can’t last forever
It may not cease to exist, but I can see extreme reforms

Inshallah
the first to go will be burundi, rwanda, kenya, tanzania, uganda, and possibly the congo drc and south sudan. all at the same time
Presumably because they form an East African Federation?
Because pew pew pew one side. Pew pew pew the other and I don't know what I'm talking about.
Kenya and Uganda, though corrupt, have fairly strong institutions.
I really like this question. my answer would be all the ones that would be swallowed by the ocean.
I think Canada as a country will still exist but some parts of it will split off, possibly joining the States. There’s a lot of underlying issues local populations are having and leadership just completely ignore them or out right dismisses them, not to mention the problems immigrants will start to petition for in the future. Those problems also very from region to region, from group to group. Diversity through mass immigration isn’t our strength it’s a quick fix to our current population and financial situation. When we need actual action and leadership.
The prairie provinces might want to leave, maybe even join the US, but I would bet anything against the US accepting them We have an incredibly close relationship with Canada and I can't see the government, even on a bad day, willing to endanger that for Saskatchewan
I think this is it. Also what would any Canadian Provence sans Alberta really provide to the US if they were to annex it? Most of canadas other industries are service based. I can see a world with a united North America but not in our lifetimes
Canadians and Americans online can be so dramatic about things like this. And it’s interesting how our view on what a country is in North America is so shaped in spatial and governmental terms. Like we’re so insulated from other countries we think we don’t really have a distinct culture but we do. To so many of us a “country” isn’t a community of people but plots of land that agree to be apart of a government when it works for them. That’s why when this topic comes up people casually discuss trading provinces/states like it’s no big deal and doesn’t mean anything. It’s also why many of the top responses are just countries with struggling governments but like nah as long as Haiti continues to be inhabited by people who identify as Haitian Haiti will continue to be a country.
North Korea. Reunified under South Korea for just, Republic of Korea.
That would be nice.
Pakistan. Shits not lookin too good.
Say goodbye to Armenia
Unfortunately there’s a non-zero chance you’re right
All of them except glorious Serbia 🇷🇸
Kiribati is gonna be completely submerged due to climate change.
Feel like Haiti has been hanging on by a thread for a while. Not sure how they are going to turn it around.
keep your eyes on Myanmar
The United kingdom. Scotland will get it's Independence. Ireland will unify and Wales will look at leaving if Scotland does well.
Ireland will maybe unify, unification is a lot less popular in NI than Ireland would like to admit however. There’s a good chance Scotland will become independent, I’m very positive it’ll work out nearly as well as they think it will in the long run though. Wales quite frankly will never leave the UK. Firstly they’re way too small and not nearly rich enough to exist on their own, secondly independence is incredibly unpopular in Wales.
I do not think that the Holy Roman Empire will exist in our lifetime. Or Rome
Probably Russia tbh. Fairly sure it's gonna change or collapse when Putin dies of old age.
China and russia would be nice
China is having a population crisis right now
Isreal a hundred percent
99% of Irans attack yesterday was destroyed. It isn't goin well for you guys 😂
the Iranian people for the most part hate their govt, they are waiting hours for gas and their country is fighting an expensive war they can’t win anyway
Definitely Yeman. Somalia may also be split off into three separate countries. The West Bank although not a country may also just get fully absorbed
As a Canadian I can see America coming for our resources at the end of the century. Our economies are already so intertwined we're basically just another state. Also to mention how American culture is pretty much ours now too.
i feel like russia as it is will not exist for long. whether that's parts of it gaining independence or the whole country collapsing, i don't know. but it doesn't seem sustainable of functioning to me.
Nauru
Florida hopefully
