USA doesn't need to be that big.
 * If you want it to be smaller, try choosing a plan that I actually approve of.

''It dioes want to. One of its allies is in a war.''
 * I don't recall you being the holder of OOC rights. At the start of the war, the USA is financially BUSTED. Their treasurer stinks. I wouldn't go into war with a wrecked economy, would you?

Well Khanzem wasn't fought with the countires in their current state
 * And does that make it any less real?

...and wars fought between countries are more controversial that Evil army vs. a bunch of other characters.
 * Again, does that make it any less REAL? Controversy is irrelevant.

The point isn't to stop USA from having more popularity, it's to show that other countries are capable of defeating it in a s00per war, and to let them become more popular.
 * What about the Vietnam War, where America failed at helping S. Vietnam? Why not have the USA fail at that? And if you want it to fail in the GFW, why chop it up into small bits? It's fine with me if it loses the war, but balkanizing it is crossing the line.

Because USA makes a good Germany parody
 * If you haven't noticed, it's a parody of America. There are other countries that would make great Germany replacements, and you could just write one yourself, and have it assimilated into another country at the end of the war.

needs to be shrunk
 * I'll cut off 10-20% of Eastshield, but that's it.

defeated
 * Why not parody the Vietnam War?

and it will still be popular if we leave it out.
 * Well, it's not going to gain any more popularity. And don't forget that all countries that participate in the war will receive a nice share of attention as well.
