Adding further support to my view that in today's world, (mainland) Europe is civilization's last hope.

What about Canada? As the ice thaws, it will be a perfect place to restart after the Collapse.

[frenchy]

I wouldn't be that hopeful. We have quite a number of wackos for the same reason that the US does (escaping religious "persecution" in Europe). Sorry.

Edit: also, much of the thawing land is the Canadian Shield, which is pretty useless for farming.

Yeah, fair

I dunno, the Nordic countries are seeming fabulous right now.

I think most people still consider the Nordics mainland.

[ahje]

Most people use the term "Continental Europe" and not "Mainland Europe" for that very reason.

Technically, most of the Nordics is a peninsula and a large number of adjacent islands of various sizes, so it depends on your definition of course.

[alkonaut]

Yes we can indeed walk from the nordics to what we like to call "the continent". Which is odd when you think about it, because you'd think the continent would consist of what you can walk to.

> mainland

Hey there, Republic of Ireland would like to have a word with you :)
