Peoples republic of the M25!
Major sea-port, major airport, easily defined border, some of the world's best restaurants, theatre ,and entertainment, some of the world's finest educational institutions, enormous cultural diversity, and more commerce than you could shake a stick at, what's not to like?
Should probably annex a couple of the home counties though, for a bit of agriculture -

Sounds a good idea, couple of questions.Originally posted by Sysman View Post
1. What would happen if there was global banking crisis, would London have enough taxpayers to cover it's liability?
2. So if London was attacked or involved in a war, can it raise an army. Or is the idea that London would back out of all wars and global projection of power?
3. Does London have enough natural resources to sustain itself, so thinking about power, water etc.
4. I thought one of the reasons that attracted outside investment to London was the stability of the UK?Comment
