Apparently in the distant past (stand by for the old timers to appear out of the ether) on the Classic, a crusty old CX captain in French airspace, every time he heard French being spoken, immediately transmitted something to the effect of "Control, Cathay 261, are you calling us?". As the story goes, the other users tired of this long before he did.
Maybe something similar in mainland airspace might be fun.

I will be the FIRST to admit, that under the current US administration, our freedoms have increasingly come under attack. No argument there.
But, as they say, we may be a pig, but we are still the prettiest pig at the trough.
If we keep spending ourselves into oblivion, we will soon lose our standing. It's already happening.
A Congressman recently said, quite rightly, that our greatest threat to National Security right now, is our debt.
"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic. "
-Benjamin Franklin
God help us.

Maybe I'm missing something but does anyone else notice that China Flyer's list seems to be arranged alphabetically? I doubt very much that it's a ranking unless by some cosmic coincidence the list of the countries considered to be the most free has turned out to alphabetical too. Chances? Nil at best and I'm an optimist! So maybe the USA is more free than Nauru.
Now, if the founding fathers had named their new country American United States, then they'd definitely be the top of the list.

Oops, apologies iceman, you called it way before I did.
