I don't have adequate investment or experience to believe or disbelieve. I live in the Great Plains, as have my father, my father's father, and so forth for quite a while now. I tried to phrase the original question pretty dryly, but that probably isn't how it comes off to somebody with such investment.
Actually, I'm not sure. In the constitution, we wish to see the island unified but only if both parts vote to unify. I don't know if this meets your criteria for expansionist foreign policy.
I'd vote no.
I don't think anywhere openly calls itself expansionist; everyone only wants to get back what they say is theirs anyway
Do you guys wish you still had India? Or America for that matter? By the way, I am not opposed to a US/UK union!

Well right, that's what all the politics would say. But if you want to redraw borders so that a country includes more territory that's pretty clearly expansionist? Moral judgement on the specific instance of that behavior aside.

The Senate expands to 108 seats. The House changes from 435 to 527 seats. England gets 76 Representatives(California has 53), Scotland gets 8(Wisconsin), Wales gets 5(Connecticut), and Northern Ireland gets 3(Nebraska). The Queen gets a corporation. I have no idea what to do with the remaining bits, maybe territorial status? Still sound good to you?
Well no, that's not how it needs to be done. We join as equals, we don't absorb them.

If there is no unified court system why not just handle that sort of thing with treaties as is?

We also have a federal court system which trumps the state level rulings within the scope the federal rules on. I might have read the OP in that other tread wrong.
No - we removed our territorial claim on the north in 1998.

Is there really much of a Cornish identity left, besides a few fringe nationalist groups and those trying to resurrect a dead language that has as many reconstructed versions as it has people who study it?
Don't get me wrong; it's tragic that a whole language and culture has been swallowed up, but Cornwall seems even more Anglicized than Wales.
That's because Cornwall is more Anglicised than Wales.
That doesn't preclude strong regionalist identities though. Especially if historically there was a different culture/history that regionalists can look back and romanticise about, as in this case.
