Why does it exist? Why didn't France, Germany, or the

France almost bought it off the Netherlands, but Prussia stepped in before the deal could be sealed.

After that, most of the then-Great Powers (France and Prussia included) signed a treaty guaranteeing the G.D's independence with the promise for all signatories to declare war on any aggressor who invades.

Which turned out pretty well when Germany invaded in WWI.

It's also a very nice country. My friend lives there.

Because the Luxembourger people have the right to self-determination, a right that intergovernmental organizations such as the UN should do more to defend

Rich people need a place to store their ill-gotten wealth

It feels weird actually being acknowledged for once

Your country is only 39 years older than Luxembourg

Luxembourg has a surprising amount of foreigners. It makes me a bit sad because the city is very beautiful.

>>76602269
Foreigners who can't even speak our language. They might as well not even bother teaching it anymore, it's basically useless at this point. Almost everyone in some kind of service position you'll interact with is portuguese, french or belgian.

Shit like that pisses me off, they show literally zero respect to their host country. In my country, refugees are given apartments, vehicles and benefits as long as they attend language school. Great right? Well more than half of them fail at it because they don't give a fuck about this country, but the government officials are convinced that they are making great progress when I've met people who have lived here for years, yet have the conversational level of a 3 year old in our language.

Proportionate to its size, Luxembourg is mentioned a lot.

It's a literal meme country that will become Germany's 17th state soon enough.

>>76602702
not that i dont agree with you, but scandinavia is famous for being good english speakers so i guess they think they can just get by on that

>>76594215

Because its full of Portuguese, who would want such a thing ?

>>76602860
They're even worse at english, most of them are impossible to communicate with unless you have a translator

>>76602416
you mean luxembourgish?
i've always been curious about it.

>>76602860
i think he was referring to """"""refugees""""""

>rich people hide their money there to avoid taxes
>rich people run the country

I think Luxembourgish is mostly just a standardized German dialect with some French influences

>>76594215
All of them took it actually, but under the Netherlands it was a sovereign country in personal union with the Dutch king.

Most Luxembourgians are not huge on nationalism, they have embraced the new EU identity, more so than Germany, France, etc.

You mean when Bismark had an autistic fit despite telling France they could do it 2 weeks ago?
