You're a nation state in all but name. Just set up a central bank and a military and you're good to go.
We can't even do anything about the erosion of French in the ROC. It's not up to Ottawa to tell millions of Fortnite players to chat with each other in French or to tell INSEAD that they should run their Executive MBA in French or set up a French language medical journal of the calibre of the New England Journal of Medicine or The Lancet.

BTW I am not trying to be an ass. Just checking in with the parameters of today's world.
I didn't start the fire.
