I see S. Korea is still unclaimed. Well, not anymore. It’s all mine! All the ex-pat Americans living there can have positions in the new government. We’ll all go party in Song Tan together.
Sudan - I don’t need a reason.
Nobody has called Australia yet? I’ll take that one. Home of one of my favourite brewpubs.
Mmm…beer. 
While I’m at it, I’ll take Cape Verde and the Canary Islands as well. I’ll form my own triangle, and it’ll be BETTER than the Bermuda Triangle, and it’ll have blackjack, and hookers!
Wait, forget the triangle.
Can I take England? I haven’t got time to leave home and invade a foreign country so I thought I’d just stage a coup d’etate. Actually, forget staging one, I want this one to be real!
Army march passes in Hyde Park. The changing of the guard. Perhaps even a few, select executions? Okay, perhaps not… Propaganda over every channel - channel 5 destroyed. Worcestershire renamed Borsetshire. 
PT
Damnit, PT took England.
Belize then.
I claim the Abacos! It will be a clothing-optional sailing empire. No powerboats allowed. Hammocks for everyone! Kiss my ring before you go!
I bags Christmas Islands…
Refugees, collect the entire set!
I pity the fool who comes late and there is only the republic of Malta left.
Don’t cry for me, I want Argentina. (Sorry Darwin’s Finch, you can’t have all of S. America minus Brazil!) My homeland defenses will entirely consist of forcing people to crash into the Andes and eat themselves.
Hey, you can always have the Isle of Wight - I’m not using it.
But only if you help me grab Finland when no one’s looking…
PT
I want Costa Rica. I really, really want Costa Rica.
Pssst! Hey, buddy!
<reaches into trenchcoat and produces a set of deeds, wrapped in clingfilm>
I got Columbian here if you want it. You won’t even miss Costa Rica after you’ve tried Columbia…
…no? How about some Jamaican? <looks in bag> Damn! Someone’s nicked it!
<sidles off, suspiciously>
PT
no way, Derleth! i invaded germany and then i used all of my resources (just like a proper invader should) and invaded austria too! you and your montana are relatively safe (for now! muahahaha!).
…frantically skims through the remaining countries…doesn’t want to get stuck with Mexico…
AHA!!!..I dibs the Fiji Islands!!! Scuba diving by day, warm tropical maidens by night…
I really must insist on seasonal countries. Indonesia, and all it really want out of it is Bali. Also, if anything is left of Krakatoa, east of Java, I need a heliport and boat docks.
Switzerland will suffice for winter fun.
Has anyone taken Spain yet? I want Spain.
Always after me lucky charms.
Stay away from my county of I’ll fund a U2/Sinead O’Connor world tour.
Bwa-ha-ha!!!
The world will be at my mercy!
Dao, I’m making a historical claim on the Ryukyu kingdom (Okinawa for all you history ignorant types). Sun, sand, beautiful women, and the best part of the American bases (including the “non existant” ahem, cough, cough, wink, wink nuclear arsenal).
If not, I’ll take Singapore, if you please. Nice tropical place sitting ontop of the worlds trade routes choke point.
And if we’re going to allow grabbing multiple countries, I’ll take the two above plus Brunei. You may call me Sultan Dave.
I don’t want your Lucky Charms. Or Sinead O’Connor.
I have however, just kidnapped U2 and am holding them in my dungeon for my personal enjoyment. I figure they can play at dinner time. And cook-outs. That’ll be pretty cool.
I’ll take France, not that it would be that damn hard but I’ll take it. Heck I don’t even need an army, I’ll just pretend I’m Germany and take over.
Hey I’m only going for the women. Plus the bonus is that since most of the world is being taken over by the SDMB I’ll just threaten to distroy the Louve if anyone attacks! I’ll let you in to see it, but don’t come attacking me or it’s gone.
Hey, I’ve got nothing else to barter with so give me a brake.
