Oh, yesWe're a country of contrasts. However, the ones who fight for the separation of Spain, really fight for the separation of their bit and then the reconquering (?) of the rest of Spain as it was before it was called a country, as they learned on their history books. So, what they want is Spain, but they want to govern it under a different name, really.

It seems that Spain is as fucked up as the UK, no I mean Great Britain, or is it just England.(

You wouldn't believe itThe fact is that Spain is more like USA, as each Comunity has the same powers as the government of the Country (I mean, each comunity regulates taxes, education, NHS, civil servants, police...)
The fact is that it's difficult to give them more because most of them only want other comunities to be part of another one, but none can agree which name they should have or what, i.e.: Catalonia wants the Balearics, Valencia and a bit of Italy. Valencia wants the Balearics, Catalonia and a bit of Italy. The Balearics are happy with what they have, but don't want people to say that they speak catalonian because they speak majorquÃn. It's so nice and friendly :)

We grow up being educated about our land grabbing past, but I think we have finished now.How can a bit of Spain claim a bit of Italy?
