Soo much can happen to change courses of future events, but still a fascinating discussion to think about..I know I'm simplifying it, but there are a lot of parallels with Australia and Canada..Two 'New World" heavily urbanized vast countries, each with 2 runaway alpha cities, and a solid second city sitting by themselves (Brisbane and Vancouver).I worked with an Australian for a brief period here, and he basically said the same thing, although on a basic level.Standard of living, freedom ,Commonwealth, etc..There are some obvious cultural differences. I was under the impression from years ago that Australia is ahead a little bit on new tech, but that may of changed..Heck, someone I knew from waaaay back, who moved to Australia. told me that they had ATM's and interact years before we had them.. I'll tip a Fosters to any Aussie reading this if they tip a Molson..Ahh screw it, let's both go for a Belgium import!..Anyways, good read..Kudos OP.
