You can’t just claim something someone already owns…especially a country you’re not at war with (Oman).

Buddy...

Most wars start because someone claimed someone else's territory...

I’m not your buddy, pal.

(that’s another way wars start)

Yeah, anyone can claim whatever they want. Making other people respect your claim is the hard part.

Alright. Thats it. I've had enough of these territory disputes. I declaire all of existence to be my territory. Yep. Every single atom that exists. All mine. I own everything now.

And for anyone who wishes to dispute this, the process is simple. Just take a number, use your toungue to write out a letter of dispute, directly onto my butthole! Anyone who doesn't do this respects my claim to everything.
