After a lengthy 2 year application process, the Peoples Republic of Guardianista (PRG) was last night accepted into the European Union. Celebrations immediately broke out in Hampstead, the capital of the emerging nation, as residents looked forward to being able to travel to France and Tuscany without restrictions on their movement. Chairperson Toynbee hailed the decision as 'historic' and hoped that the move would 'revitalise the economy and improve public services'. The nation immediately adopted the Euro as its currency.
After the truamatic divorce from DailyMailLand in 2010, the country had immediately applied for EU membership. This was in contrast to the approach of the DailyMailLand, which unilaterally withdrew from the union upon gaining its independence, and declared that Europe was something they would never surrender to. The prime minister of DailyMailLand, Paul Dacre, in a lengthy statement congratulated the PRG on securing membership but warned that his own country would resist with every breath the encroachment of Europe onto their territory. He added that he believed the Guardianistas would regret the move, particularly its decision to join the euro, as it meant they would no longer be able to exercise sovereignty over its own economic policies. He added that although economic policy in DailyMailLand was still determined by the IMF, at least the IMF was enforcing the correct free market policies and couldn't care less about the shape of his banana.
In a television response to Dacre, Will Hutton -The Chancellor of the Peoples Republic of Guardianista – pointed out that as an emerging nation the PRG had little sovereignty over its own economic policies. Furthermore he added that it wouldn't make a difference as very few Guardianistas understood economics anyway.
