Can you tell me the difference between Italy as a member state of the European Union and Texas a member state of the American Union?

A Treaty is signed, a common currency is used and is Italy actually a nation any more? If it is then why isn't England after a Treaty was signed and a common currency started in the United Kingdom?

Think to these facts.

1) If this wasn't an Italian site, and Italians are tolerant people, I would have asked and obtained your banning.

2) Italy has a his own Army, government, parliament emitting laws and able to decide Italy exiting from Euro, should it consider such an action be the interest of Italy. This means Italy is a Nation.

3) Euro won't fail so, within some years (I think 15/20), the Kingdom of Great Britain will ask to join the Euro and the country of England will be in it, and without any chance to say anything against it since it has no parliament with the right to talk about it.

4) Historically, if Great Britain had given Italy the respect it deserves, it would have not lost Malaya. It didn't and the forces planned to defend Malaya were pinned facing the Italians.

In Italy we say that "Revenge is a dish to be served cold". When the Kingdom of Great Britain will takes its countries within the Euro zone I will ... thinking to you.

I do not wish for this to devolve into nationalistic blasts at one another. GraysGhost's comments, although likely offensive to Italians and others, were not likely meant to be. It was an attempt to take the discussion to the absurd to make a point, yet failed to do so in my opinion (the make a point part at least). I'm sure when Kit realizes how his comments about Italy came off, he will recognize the appropriateness of an apology.

Perhaps the issue is the unique nature of the United Kingdom, and the nationalism that was allowed to remain when it was formed. The following article is an interesting read and I think clarifies Nick and Paolo's stances on why the flags of England, Scotland and Wales were not included: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countries_of_the_United_Kingdom
