So here's probably my favourite post of this year, probably all time, the (technically) remade version of this post I made in 2021

It's basically the Anglosphere, or the core Anglosphere, which consists of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the United States of America, Canada, the Commonwealth of Australia, and New Zealand, of course other definitions of the Anglosphere include Ireland, Malta, and South Africa, among others, but these five are very commonly called the Anglosphere, probably due to their very close unity with one another (noted in groupings such as the ABCANZ Armies, AUSCANZUKUS (navies), and most famously, the Five Eyes), probably, just probably, to the point where I could just use the term "One Nation, Five States"

This is that rare moment where I just give other Countryballs hats (which would exclusively go to Britain), but I decided, hey, why not give all of them hats for once, and I did (I gave Australia a Minnetonka hat with a flap, Canada a Davy Crockett hat with a tail, New Zealand a peaked felt hat (although Canada could also wear that, because Mounties), and America a cowboy hat)

I experimented with a fade out technique I found online, to give it a pretty nice look (I actually intended for this to be a movie poster-type image, but ultimately didn't), I also gave them (and the text) a white glow to them, and I gave them a 50% transparency (because I can do that, as well with the other stuff in ibis Paint X)

I'm personally a big fan of the Anglosphere, since they have a brotherly unity to them, since they have English as either exclusively or one of their official language (like the UK, which has English exclusively as the official language, and Canada, which has English as one of the official languages, alongside French), similar cultures, generally liberal democracies and capitalist economies, among other things

Probably gonna take the opportunity to say that I support the integration of these five nations within Anglosphere groupings (also gonna express my support for CANZUK too...)

Just hoping reception... is positive... also I might begin to make more TUGS and Thomas-related things... I don't know (I just don't want to alienate a portion of my followers)
