I may not be American, but what you should do is go straight for France first. They have nuclear power stations situated in key places throughout France. Nuke 'em and you've got a walking, talking, arrogant population of radioactive scum.
But then we'd get the drift thingy of all the radioactivity...which cannot be good.
Either France or somewhere in the Gulf and/or Balkans. Could never stand the Balkan countries. Always vote for each other in Eurovision and never for anyone else how ever good they may be.
