If its not open to competition that doesn't mean much though. Infrastructure is the mean worry i presume.

The US couldn't leave East Asia even if we wanted to. That shows our Pacific territories, kind of makes you think again on why its called an American lake doesn't it? ;) India's region is a whole different story, but they don't want deep commitments so its fine.

I get many things from Amazon, so convenient ^^

The vast majority of their children will grow up to be Americans.

The US put China on the investment map as well, we've seen how grateful your government is.

HongWu always lies, and the mods dont seem to want to do anything about his fake titles. Just gonna have to deal with it.

Katrina is an example of how to not operate, but it is not an example of disaster relief in the US as a whole by any means. RIP to the dead and swift recovery to the wounded. May the Responders have sharp instincts and may those buried be pulled swiftly!
