How would people in your country react if Germany and Austria were to unite?
Our government proposed a mini schengen with only the Benelux, Germany and Austria last year. Merkel said no.
No one would care.
>>71456696
really? why did she do that?
>>71456696
>tfw this was actually proposed
>it would have been a border and economic union
WHY THE FUCK DID THE REFUSE
THAT IS LITERALLY CLAY JUMPING INTO OUR FACE AND THE SAID NO??
>>71457302
We should annex this.
>>71456752
I don't know. Maybe Merkel didn't want a country with the power of France and the UK combined.
>>71456614
austria hasn't any decent football player so we wouldn't care
>>71456614
"Not again..."
>>71457302
are you this stupid?
it meant they will withdraw schengen and only those countries keep it
it was dutch autism, thinking the big bad evul EE countries push the fugees into the west
>>71456614
wonder what will you invade next and how do we get clay from helping
>>71456614
ITS HABBEDING
>>71456614
The French would piss their pants and get the white flags.
Remember these two are only not united because the combined military power was feared.
>>71456614
How would a reunion even work?
Would we have 25 states all of a sudden or would we slap the Austrian states together into one?
>>71457748
tirol and ostmark
>>71456614
I'm not joking when I say that not a single American would care.
>>71457811
That's a good reason to get worried. As every single international decision in American politics backfires.
If Americans don't care it's probably the start of the apocalypse.
>>71457779
Not half bad. But the Netherlands should be split up a bit and Czechia can remain independent for all I care.
>>71457874
There were actually plans in the Netherlands to unite certain provinces and turn it into 4 districts. So that's actually quite possible.
>>71457902
Which provinces where supposed to be merged?
>>71456696
>>71456752
because that's fucking stupid
>>71456614
>bordering Germany
Last time didn't go too smoth IIRC
>>71457929
That map also contains Flanders.
This map with five provinces was a possibility. But there were also other options.
>>71458028
Culturally you can add purple to flanders. Combine blue and yellow. And combine red and green.
How would people in your country react if France and the UK were to unite?
>>71458145
Prepare for comedy gold.
>>71458028
Thanks
How would those have been called?
>>71458145
Not in a million years
>>71458170
>Not in a million years
why not
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-British_Union
it's doable
>>71458170
I don't know. But chances are red would be called Randstad as that's the existing name of the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-The Hague-Utrecht region.
>>71458165
the first act of the union would be to nuke the dutch
>>71458145
They'd be happy frankly.
>>71458282
You'd have to accept to give every french worker a 2 hours lunch break then.
>>71458388
Why not ! If we keep each other our culture...
>>71457518
>the power of France and the UK combined
>Dutch people genuinely believe this
>>71458622
118 million people. All with a better economy than France and the UK.
>>71456614
Germany and who?
>>71458998
Our little neighbors to the south who also speak German, share 90% of their culture with the German state of Bavaria, are also a federal republic and were forcibly separated from the rest of Germany after WWII.
>>71456614
Just add to it Königsberg* and it's perfect
*russians will have to go back to russia
>>71459113
>share 90% of their culture with the German state of Bavaria
they dont even have the same slang
>>71456614
I would seriously reconsider place of residency and beg for refuge in US. Because you know, 1914 and 1939 tracks you badly guys
>>71458282
>>71458388
>>71458145
Okay but we need to steal Belgium or Luxembourg or something and place the capital city there otherwise people are just gonna get jelly that it's in London or Paris
I think rather Austria should annex South Germany.
People who speak the correct language should unite.
>>71456614
demand special status
