Germany could take over New Zealand, if you wouldn't mind. Our constitution
is the most modern in the world (1948) and we don't have death penalty. Many
important Enlightenment writers originated here, we got some fairly decent
music tradition, too. And what the military power is concerned what seems to
be an important point according to your mail, I guess we might arrange
something powerful enough to protect your beautiful little neighbour island
properly.Of course we could take over Australia, too. No problem.
I don't think Chancellor Schroeder had any objections. It's getting boring
lately with our colonies Mallorca and Southern Spain. New Zealand might be
the thrill we always waited for. Welcome as the 19th Federal State of
Germany (with Mallorca being 17th and Andalusia 18th).
