gollark: There are many other issues but that's one of them.

gollark: I'm probably going to university in about two years. The ones here cost much, much less. Thus no.

gollark: Or all the random countries with dictatorships and whatnot, but sure.

gollark: I sometimes get annoyed about living here given that the UK has many problems, but then I remember that actually quite a lot of countries have terrible governance too and ours is among the less bad.

gollark: Sort of. It's not finalised. Right now you can still travel and trade and wjatnot the same way.
