Congratulations (I hope) I wish you the very best of luck with your new government.

My mother was greatly suprised in the 1950's because some US troops stationed in England thought that England had been allied with Germany and they were an army of occupation.

I'm English and have been in the US for 9 years, but sometimes I think that Americans are very parochial and not particularly good at geography or history <g>
