A bit of science fiction: the New Europe, AD 2021
A prognosis by Niall Ferguson, Harvard professor of history: the UK and Ireland reunited, plus a Nordic League; both entities outside the “United States of Europe” under German leadership (and Vienna as its capital).

An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers

Good day, I think this is one of the most important info for me. And i am glad reading your article. Great Done! By the way: I think your blog might be having browser compatibility problems. When I look at your blog in Safari, it looks great but when opening in Mozilla Firefox, it has some overlapping.
