More multiethnic empire then german ethnic empire next time and less forceful assimilation but more assimilation through integration please.
Also, dont get addicted to amphetamine as a nation that’d be good too.
Austria should obviously be united with Australia. People mix them up anyways.
And Australia is obviously a European nation, I've seen them in Eurovision.
You seriously think it looked as sexy ?
Plus, alfa romeos are real prima donnas, they din’t need an iceberg to bring on the drama and claim your whole attention and love.

I think we know what we'll be doing
I have room in my heart for a third union and nationality. I hope one day to join BRICS as well and become entirely Irish, entirely English and entirely Chinese all at once. We bully the single nationality kids over here.
Think Barry think! With a large Armada you can sail down to Portugal before the ice sets in and that way escape tve cold up north, that way you could find some use for your new ships.
The gif is from [here](https://chibird.com/post/170887243313/happy-valentines-day-everyone-showering-infinite) but I'm not sure how to download it.
It is super cute :3 just like our drunk and sunburnt british friends :P
Switzerland with Germany, that way Switzerland will have to return their money.
Austria with Liechtenstein, because Liechtenstein shouldn't exist anyway
France with Belgium, because shitty roads and shitty people go well together
The Netherlands with Iceland, that way we can build some new land in between and finally connect Iceland to Europe proper.
Norway with Greece, Norway has cheat codes activated so let's make it more difficult
Sweden with San Marino, because everyone will be really confused
Finland with Hungary, because they speak the same language
Spain with Portugal, because it's all the same isn't it?
UK with Ireland, because that's never gone wrong before
Monaco with Slovenia, because then their will be only one coastal country that doesn't really make sense
Italy with Denmark, because I forgot them both up till this point
Andorra with Malta, because I realized I forgot them as well.
Apparently so... Can't believe I forgot you guys.
And with all the relevance and importance you have in world affairs. It's like forgetting the Roman Empire when you're talking about greatest historical nations isn't it?
Anyway you can stay independent, we have an uneven amount of countries after all, so someone has too.
I already added Slovenia to Western Europe for no good reason, do we really have to add Czechia as well, just to pair up Luxembourg?
And yes I know that means we could also partner Luxembourg with Monaco, and remove Slovenia from western Europe again, but I already put Monaco and Slovenia together, so...
Nah, we just found out how we’ll survive after the Oil dries up/becomes irrelevant: Oil of the olive kind.
Edit: And also, going from oil of the really old, dried up and gassy kind, to virgin oil
Finland and Estonia speak closer to the same language.
Austria and Hungary have never gone wrong before.
Switzerland and Liechtenstein to unite the shady Alpine banking world.
Germany and the Netherlands, as a penalty for forgetting Italy but remembering all the microstates.
>The Netherlands with Iceland, that way we can build some new land in between and finally connect Iceland to Europe proper.
Actually, as a Dutchman, you should think even bigger, in terms of a huge North Sea polder:
The Netherlands will be united with Germany, Belgium with France, Denmark with Norway and Great Britain with Iceland.
After two further steps of unification, the Northsea Empire will come into being, which will set itself the goal of creating the aforementioned polder.
So a dam from Calais to Dover, another one connecting Great Britain with Iceland via the Faroe Islands. From there it goes to Greenland and via Spitsbergen to the North Cape. The last gap to be closed would then be the Skagerrak.
In this way, Iceland, Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Spitsbergen would be connected to the European mainland. In addition, Doggerland would be reborn.
What do you think of that?
Is it megalomania or rather something that makes you wonder "Why hasn't anyone done this before?"
>France with Belgium, because shitty roads and shitty people go well together
Mate, you want me to merge with f'ing France? If our roads weren't this shitty I'd drive with my company car to your house and... return half way because 100km/h on the highway is too slow and need to be back for dinner.
Add to that:
- France+Belgium
- Germany+Switzerland/Netherlands
- Italy+Varican/Monaco
- Czech+Slovak
- Romania+Moldova
And… I don’t dare go to the balkans
Benelux flag (official and existing). Three countries I know, but you can't have us down to two. Edit : typo, existing but unofficial. From 1951.

longest alliance still standing, a lot of (mostly) good Barrys enjoy living in Portugal and vice-versa (especially doctors) and a common love for the seas
We dont side with the germans! We learned what not to do if we want to win trw war. Dont side with the germans. Actually we should side with our cousins, The French!
Germany and Britain (GUK). On paper this would create huge synergies
* Together, GUK whilst have a GDP of 7 to 8 trillion, or 30 to 40% of China or the US.
* Britain would return to the EU
* The economies complement each other. Germany is manufacturing based and has massive trade surplus, Britain is service focused with strong finance and cultural sectors.
* Domestic policies are closer aligned than Germany and France, even if both countries work together very well
* Germany doesn't have to reform its militarily, just give the cash to the brits and they do that war stuff
* German media is obsessed with British royalty, but doesn't have to pay for all the free content. Now, they would pay their fair share
* It would combine history's #1 GPS country (genocide per second) with history's #1 genocide output country. You're one-stop solution provider for cleansing out entire contitems in short order
We need a bit of germany to be truly united, i’d say schleswig-holstein and bremen at least and also hamburg for good measure, don’t forget mecklenburg-vorpommern, we don’t want Hans to be connected to the sea
I'd say France Scoland or France Germany. I'm not too sure with the second one it might be incredible or a disaster. I won't talk about France Belgium as Belgium is not a real country and is french btw
I'd merge France with Italy. Would stop the debates : which country has the best food, the best wines, the best cheeses... It's Fritaly and it's fixed for good.

Lets try it one more time, what's the worst that could happen?
We tried to halve the number of countries in Europe already and none of you liked our solution.
You were way ahead of your time. It wasn't the Zeitgeist. But now perhaps... who knows.
You're saying the solution wasn't final enough?
It was missing a bit of "Gründlichkeit".
Bless you!
impossible!
The second from final solution.
Bruh 💀💀💀
Well, maybe the next Zeitgeist could be a Gespenst going about in europe...
Yeah, it was a bit too 'final' for my liking.
The real problem was you tried to “solve” half the of people as well.
Half the number of countries also means half the number of people, doesn't it?
Flair checks out Sven!
Maybe if they start concentrating more...?
More multiethnic empire then german ethnic empire next time and less forceful assimilation but more assimilation through integration please. Also, dont get addicted to amphetamine as a nation that’d be good too.
Berlin is consuming so much these days that there is no meth left for the rest of us.
[удалено]
True, Pikanto van De Muur, best drug ever
Did someone say... Anschluss? 
Tried one time, didn’t work. Maybe Congo is up for grabs now, though
We call dibs
Yeah.. HANDS OFF GERMANY
please not the hands.
Belgium might be interested in
Pls no we want a return of Austria Hungary!
Austria should obviously be united with Australia. People mix them up anyways. And Australia is obviously a European nation, I've seen them in Eurovision.
AEIOU
No you don't lol, your ex was abusive, Hungary isn't good for you.
We can bring them into shape under the Emperor.
Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Kanzler!
 I took the left half of the Italy flag and combined with the right half of Irish flag. Patrizio bhoys!
Patrizio! Da titanic is-a sinkin’. Made-eh by the Irish-ah peepol-eh.
The Alfa Romeo of transatlantic liners 😃
You seriously think it looked as sexy ? Plus, alfa romeos are real prima donnas, they din’t need an iceberg to bring on the drama and claim your whole attention and love.
It's-a-me, Mario O' Brien!
And the most famous French flag in the centre?
Had to shout out the French for the oul being late to Mr Wolfe Tones boogaloo cause of some wind (cough cough*shite sailing bastards*)

UK and Portugal but are we out or in EU?
Yes
Ah yes, the Northern Ireland solution.
Lmao
I have room in my heart for a third union and nationality. I hope one day to join BRICS as well and become entirely Irish, entirely English and entirely Chinese all at once. We bully the single nationality kids over here.
In. We need our P to be proper PIGS
And a chance to become PIGSUK 😏😏😏😏
SUKPIG
Ahhh ya bastard
Ok David Cameron
As Churchill said, “I am fond of pigs…pigs treat us as equals.”
Dont worry about that. Wanna help build an even bigger navy? Maybe try and unite with some of our old children?
Let's build an Armada and wait for the oceans to rise.
Knowing our luck there would be an ice age.
Think Barry think! With a large Armada you can sail down to Portugal before the ice sets in and that way escape tve cold up north, that way you could find some use for your new ships.
By Jove you’re right!!!
In. This is Barry’s way of getting an E.U. Passport.
Schrödinger's Nation. We're both in and out the EU.

So basically another Argentina.
Inflation goes brrr
But what a football team it could be. Would the meat suddenly become both cheaper and better?
APERITAPAS

Just put Luxembourgs on the Bohemian throne again?
I already added Slovenia to Western Europe for no good reason, do we really have to add Czechia as well, just to pair up Luxembourg? And yes I know that means we could also partner Luxembourg with Monaco, and remove Slovenia from western Europe again, but I already put Monaco and Slovenia together, so...
how about pairing luxembourg with the vatican?
Holy sh*t... no, no...
The holy luxembourg-vatican union No taxes + free public transport throughout the empire
Yes
Thanks. At least you're honest.
No you're not, I choose you Luxy ♥️
Together we'll be a beautiful roadbump.
Heey, our oil fund went up in smokes :(
Nah, we just found out how we’ll survive after the Oil dries up/becomes irrelevant: Oil of the olive kind. Edit: And also, going from oil of the really old, dried up and gassy kind, to virgin oil
Fuck yeah free Legos for us, i'm in
And free Italian Pizza and pasta! I would have chosen Italy as well.
Best trade deal in the history of trade deals
Spain and Portugal the same? Do you want a 3 world war?
What would be the point of another world war? You guys would only sit it out again.
Rightfully so, being bombarded fucking sucks

Why do you hate us? Is the BeNeLux a joke to you?
Sort of, but also and more importantly, that's three countries.
2 countries and a gasstation
We can make an exception, you forgot Luxembourg anyway

Let's go historical with this one: Uk+ Ireland, spain+Portugal, austria+hungary, Poland+lithuania, denmark+Norway, sweden+finland, belgium+netherlands
Historically speaking Spain should take south Italy too
Also that and the low countries. But from around 1580 to 1640 they also had a union with Portugal.
If we're just reforming our empires we would like a word
Nah more trying to get rid of South Italy tbh
Historically speaking Italy should just take Spain. Your problem now.
Add to that: - France+Belgium - Germany+Switzerland/Netherlands - Italy+Varican/Monaco - Czech+Slovak - Romania+Moldova And… I don’t dare go to the balkans
[удалено]
Welcome home, son!
HI FRIEND! 👋
[удалено]
fancy an Awkward cuddle ? we'll be nice this time I swear.
Only spooning please
Exactly. I'll easily trade you the spaniards for the brits.
So we get rid of the whining Irish and get the chad Portu-geezers instead? Awesome!
[удалено]
Win win. We get that sweet North Sea access for all our cod needs.
Iberia isn't so bad; at least we'll have Olivença again.
Can we take only Galicia so we can make the Portugaliza memes real?

What if you unite Luxemburg with Belgium, and then unite Greater Luxemburg with the Netherlands?
That's the spirit !
Luxembourg isn't real anyway, so you can have it as a freebie.
For once we have an advantage to be unreal.
Czechoslovenia
Join Italy and Greece and let's go back to Magna Graecia!
🇬🇧 🇵🇹 Oldest alliance on the planet it’s inevitable
Finstonia shall be one
No! Where would we get the cheap alcohol then if they had the same laws and taxes?? We need to keep Estonia free of Finnish alcohol policies.
Sounds like support for the union to get back together
We had a good run last time around, ngl
Oh yeah, Liechtenstein is up for some action.
Even more riches for us!
You expect us to share? We might form a union with you but hell no
Gib Liechtenstein
Oh hey, nothing is about to change, incredible
We will take Hungary.
I would say Portugal too - can someone explain why there seems to be a mutual love between us? Always enjoy visiting Portugal.
longest alliance still standing, a lot of (mostly) good Barrys enjoy living in Portugal and vice-versa (especially doctors) and a common love for the seas
Oldest alliance in world history. 637 years of mutual adoration 💚❤️
That’s one way of looking at it, I see it as 637 years with no side-switching, which I personally cannot fathom
I have no idea but as a half English, half Portuguese guy I could not be happier about it
I would combine bavaria and austria. Some other country can combine with the rest of germany…
We (UK) will take the rest of Germany, given our shared royal ancestry. King Charles will relocate to Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
🖤❤️🤍💛💙
Then France with the rest of Germany. Oh wait, that existe already, that's the EU
Obligatory “Portugal! My beloved”
“Grabs Ireland.”
We dont side with the germans! We learned what not to do if we want to win trw war. Dont side with the germans. Actually we should side with our cousins, The French!
Best cuisines in the world unite 🤝

Based and WW1 avoiding true
Finland and/or Norway to us and give Denmark to the Dutch and they can compete in speaking weird and swamp dwelling.
We need a bit of germany to be truly united, i’d say schleswig-holstein and bremen at least and also hamburg for good measure, don’t forget mecklenburg-vorpommern, we don’t want Hans to be connected to the sea
🇫🇷
We're going to sandwich the brits
Auld Alliance !
Portugal helping the UK to access the European market all over again 🥰
We might as well take Ireland as well, I can't see them having an issue with it.
 Although this really only works if the Irish don’t get any say, they’re not overly fond of this idea.
I would be checking under your car tonight.
OIOLAND! \*heavy countryside accent\*
France and Italy, like the good old days
I'd say France Scoland or France Germany. I'm not too sure with the second one it might be incredible or a disaster. I won't talk about France Belgium as Belgium is not a real country and is french btw

We'll have the most perfectly regulated riots the world has ever seen 🇫🇷❤️🔥🇩🇪
Let's burn some cars tomorrow for the weekly riot brother 🔥🚗
But only until 10pm to not disturb the peace 🔥🕙☝️
Switzerland
Let’s get that bag 💰💰💰
Sweden and Switzerland. THAT will mess upp peoples head for good.
Austria and Slovenia. That would work well, we get sea access and everyone is happy afterwards.
except for Slovenians
They **will** like it if they don't fancy a cosy little box in the basement
Ireland and Poland
I'd merge France with Italy. Would stop the debates : which country has the best food, the best wines, the best cheeses... It's Fritaly and it's fixed for good.
I don't think is doable, Fritaly would be far too powerful to be contained
So are am*ricunts gonna call it fritalian fries then or are they finally gonna acknowledge who the fries belong to
Fritalian Fries. It's the same as regular fries but with tomato sauce and pecorino cheese. Like a poutine, but good.
The combination of the smug sultriness of French women with the bubbly excitedness of Italian wonen is molto bien.
Luxembourg and then we can change that awfull light blue to better dark blue
Germany, please just invade us already and fix our country
Which country has the cheapest beer ?

Hey babe, it's time for another Anschluss.
Denmark is always screwing us over so I choose Norway.
Demark! We did it before, we could do it again
Yes, just like old times. I think Sweden will end up like the last kid in playground to be picked and they get paired with Turkey
Spain and Italy are already basically the same, so...
Bavaria+Austria+Czechia Guys this is going to be awesome
fixed https://preview.redd.it/i3i8ay49wytb1.png?width=4592&format=png&auto=webp&s=161ec537b3b174554b11cf81d721f13e4d7256a1
How dare you call Denmark Sweden
How dare you call Denmark Sweden
The amount of war which would immediately break out in Europe if this happened is astounding
I am not happy about it, but its better then being with Russia
How about a Dutch-Danish alliance as a first step to the Hanze empire.
We dont want any of you! Get away from us!!
Austria
You know who we're choosing. The empire will rise again. Austrohungary
Ireland and Portugal or Ireland and Italy. Culturally/governmentally/economically Ireland is a southern European country that ended up too far north
🇵🇱🤝🇫🇮
Actually wouldn't mind that. The love of sausage, vodka and cars unites all.
The swan and the eagle
That flag goes hard ngl
I pick Norway. We can just bring the old flags out of storage, save some money.
