Oh! You know what would be a great idea for raising money for nations? Corporate sponsorships! Just think, for a certain amount of cash annually, you can have your corporate logo on the country's official flag. I can just picture the maple leaf superimposed with the Coca-Cola logo! How about the stars and stripes with 50 Texaco stars? The money that companies would pay to do this...
It doesn't just end there though. Logos are fine, but who wouldn't want to go visit Disney's Canada? How about The Chrysler States of America? Not that we have to stick that close to the original name. Here in Edmonton we had what was originally Northlands Colisseum. Sponsorship then changed it to Skyreach Centre, and now it's Rexall Place. So how about United Airways Land? I think Exxon Nation has quite a ring to it.
It would have to be major corporations that do this on a national scale. Municipalities could sell themselves to smaller companies. I like it.
So from Panago Pizza Town, this is Tabby saying good night, and Gods Bless Nikeopia.
