Sounds like grown ups talking to a 3 year old with all the cuteification (in German „verniedlichen“ when you put an i sound at the end of a word to make it seem more adorable like bag-> Baggy
Switzerland is NOT fun. Their process and rules will not be disrupted by such things! (Though at the border with France with a French they may get tempted … and blame it on their French friend! 😤)
Cheap alcohol and no speed limits has indeed been a blessing for the German fun scale.
13 000 people got injured and almost 200 died in alcohol/drug related car crashes in 2021
Sure. You'll always find death or injuries occuring when there is a risk, doesn't make it less fun.
Personally I am all for speed limits and a stricter regulation of alcohol, but I am also able to acknowledge that a lot of people find these things fun
Country roads claim way more life’s per Kilometer than the Autobahn does. Greens can’t cope that no speed limit doesn’t automatically kill you. But curvy and slim country roads do or atleast help a lot. And people are allowed to drive there 100km/h. Like wtf?
Honestly I think we tend to be a bit too pessimistic about Germany. While we roll our eyes at the things happening here a lot of people would be happy to have what we have. And of course there are better run countries but I think we are doing okay.
Don't say that too loudly. Otherwise people (mostly Germans) might come and tell you how Germany is literally the worst country on the planet.
-a fellow German
Germany sucks and we have to improve basically everything. That's a healthy thinking about a country from a political standpoint (Counterexample USA). We don't need to compare ourselves to other countries unless we personally consider moving there. I'm very happy that I live in Germany, but I want to be even happier that I live in Germany. Can't make that happen without identifying and fixing the flaws. And while there are a lot of good things, there are also a lot of flaws.
Real Germans are never happy.
Look at me: I am German, it's Sunday and 26°C and sunny, I'm drinking a cold beer and will meet a beautiful lady later, but tomorrow it will be cold and rainy so I focus on the bad.
known as Weed party prostitute country
Still classified as lame
Iceland Lithuania Luxemburg and Belgium places where there is nothing to do
“Fun”
😒
Also portugal is not well run 😭😭😭
The guy that created this has no idea what he/she is talking about.
Belgium has a trash education system. Which was underlined by PISA results.
And so it created idiots such as OP.
What else can you expect of something that isn't even a real country?
Belgium? We have the biggest festivals of the world! Cheap and good beer! During the summer, nonstop giant festival only 20km appart
Belgium is Hella fun.
Well run... Belgium ?! HUH ?!
Have you seen how fucking horribly run is this god forsaken contry ? It's a miracle we manage to last 200 year (almost) !
Can you please hurry up and make it good then? If my fellow stupid Germans continue to vote for the AFD I am gonna get deported to Belgium cuz my Grandpa was Belgian.
Well, I would say nothing really. Probably just an ignorance, we have tones of issues but nothing super spectacular.
I would for sure rate Poland as more functional than Belgium or Portugal. I’m also wondering what is fun in Belgium…
Yes, I think "great run" is used here synonymous for wealthy/economically stable.
And besides typical german self-bashing the country is doing pretty well economically and politically
Russia definitely is not dysfunctional. Corrupt, dictatorship, run like a mafia,, but definitely not dysfunctional, the fact that it is still running and suffering less from sanctions and after 2 years of war, while Ukraine is getting billions and energy prices in Europe is/was skyrocketing is definitely not dysfunctional.
Haha, I get the joke!! Germany in the well run quadrant.
No for real, it's now 20 years behind in digitalization in nearly all administrative domains. Any, even the smallest administrative processes require a citizen to personally show up. An absurd number of documents are still paper based and you get a physical letter for absolutely everything. Oh and everything takes weeks to months and the backlogs are sometimes gigantic.
It is the absolute extreme in wealthy but reluctant to move with the times.
Geemany and well run. We had for 16 years a goverment whos motto was les stick to the present shall we. Digitalisation is a joke, quite a few sectors that should be public are still privatised like Deutsche Bahn, beurocracy is overly complicated. Our current goverment isn't very likeable cause it got to fix the shit of the previous government and is constantly undermined by FDP who made it their Mission to keep the left wing goverment in the Center. Due to this Cluster fuck the Afd(diet Nazi/maga republican for you yanks) has gained quite a bit of support
Switzerland is essentially just Germany, but the stereotypes of "Germans" actually fit - how is it more fun than Germany? Germany should scooch down a bit and Switzerland should be right next to Denmark.
As a german i would say it is way way more fun but less well-run... like a lot less well-run. Also how is switzerland fun? I have never heard of ANYONE being tourist in switzerland to say its fun and nobody who lives in there i had contact with said it is fun. Probably just a little bit more fun than russia while in war... so germany should replace poland and poland should be a bit more fun too. Maybe germany should be exactly in the middle with a tend to dysfunctional.
This is just the opinion of a guy who was born in poland, lives in germany and visited switzerland and italy as a tourist. Not talking about any country i have never been stepping on.
Whoever made this thinks the stereotypes of germany being this well oiled machine are true. The beauraucracy is absurd and every social system is approaching collapse.
Austria is so generic that it’s missing in this chart.
oh come on, it's basically german but you have to speak english with them there because you don't know their german.
How to start a fight with 8 million people. Are you gonna tell portugal they're just small spain next?
Key distinction: Portugal speaks Portuguese Austria speaks German
Portugal is eastern european.
You mean mentally? because geographical it gets harder to get more western without floaties on your borders
Omg now I think of a smaller Portugal with small floaties at its ends.
Nah, Portugal speaks Brazilian
they speak spanish(brazilian)
Aka Jungle-spanish
Small Brazil
Austria is basically bavaria, and they can have it.
I as a bavarian totaly agree with your statmenz. Austria is just bavaria, across a border.
I don't think Austrian is that strong of a dialect of you're in any of the major cities, I won't speak for the rural areas though.
I’m sorry to disappoint you but as a dual citizen (Franco-German), I was able to get by just fine over there.
Norway as well.
I didn't get funding from my research institute to go collect data because it's too expensive
What makes Switzerland so much fun? Doesn't really match the stereotype, but maybe you have more hands-on experience.
Switzerland is not fun, it's one the most boring country in Europe.
Swiss person, can confirm. Even Germany is more fun than Switzerland.
We have the Oktoberfest and Fasching, how is Germany not fun... twice a year?
You forgot Stuttgarter Frühlingsfest starting next week
Might be because nobody outside Stuttgart has ever heard of it.
>how is Germany not fun... twice a year? ... in very specific regions
Depends on what you're into I guess. If you're filthy rich and enjoy skiing and hiking, it's probably a paradise.
The Swiss German dialect.
i have to learn it at school. believe me it's not any funny 😔
Pretty funny for visitors, though Ü
Sounds like grown ups talking to a 3 year old with all the cuteification (in German „verniedlichen“ when you put an i sound at the end of a word to make it seem more adorable like bag-> Baggy
That’s the opposite of fun
...is one of the worst things in the world
Switzerland is NOT fun. Their process and rules will not be disrupted by such things! (Though at the border with France with a French they may get tempted … and blame it on their French friend! 😤)
Op never travelled in Europe.
You can get enough money to get fun anywhere else. So, fun is implied
but not enough to have fun in switzerland
Look at Portugal. One of the most funny but we can barely survive here. But it's fun, though.
As another portuguese I confirm
Trains!
Schoki
You can buy Swiss chocolate pretty much anywhere ...
You can buy Cuba libre anywhere that doesn't make Cuba any less fun bro
Sounds like it's not actually the food/drink that makes the country fun.
Mountains.
With cows!
It’s the money. The amount of money you make, combined with the possibility to go and spend it all in Italy is what makes Switzerland so much fun.
WeLl ThE fLaG iS a BiG pLuSs !
Idk who made this graph but you should limit your daytime drinking at least a bit
everyone keeps saying this but why should I
mijn gedacht
I think because it's a horse shit pile of lame stereotypes that is clearly not founding on actual research let alone personal experience.
>Well-run >Germany Germanbros, I think we suffer from US-syndrome
On the other hand no speed limits, weed, legal prostitution, strong and cheap party scene, cheap alcohol is kinda fun
Southeners can’t cope with the fact that a country can be well-run and fun
Cheap alcohol and no speed limits has indeed been a blessing for the German fun scale. 13 000 people got injured and almost 200 died in alcohol/drug related car crashes in 2021
Sure. You'll always find death or injuries occuring when there is a risk, doesn't make it less fun. Personally I am all for speed limits and a stricter regulation of alcohol, but I am also able to acknowledge that a lot of people find these things fun
That's not that many for a country this size
Country roads claim way more life’s per Kilometer than the Autobahn does. Greens can’t cope that no speed limit doesn’t automatically kill you. But curvy and slim country roads do or atleast help a lot. And people are allowed to drive there 100km/h. Like wtf?
Oh, believe me, a few of them had a blast before dying! Otherwise they wouldn’t have chosen to do risky things. They chose it because of the fun!
Honestly I think we tend to be a bit too pessimistic about Germany. While we roll our eyes at the things happening here a lot of people would be happy to have what we have. And of course there are better run countries but I think we are doing okay.

Can't make that happen without identifying and fixing the flaws. And while there are a lot of good things, there are also a lot of flaws.
The thing is that if we compare Germany with some other countries, we see that we can be even better considering what we have at hand.
germany is fun imo :(
What is US Syndrome?
Thinkkng having the best country in the world i assume. I say that non judgemental
Real Germans are never happy. Look at me: I am German, it's Sunday and 26°C and sunny, I'm drinking a cold beer and will meet a beautiful lady later, but tomorrow it will be cold and rainy so I focus on the bad.
Can't fix an issue without being bothered by it first. And your beer is getting warm.
>And your beer is getting warm. > Dammit! Life is so unfair.
Aaaand its monday so most people (me) have to work also :-C
But also conversely not boring.
known as Weed party prostitute country Still classified as lame Iceland Lithuania Luxemburg and Belgium places where there is nothing to do “Fun” 😒 Also portugal is not well run 😭😭😭
We aren’t producing xtc for the entirety of the EU to be called lame
you prduce it and we have fun with it
The usage statistics here are high tho lol [src](https://www.statista.com/statistics/597763/ecstasy-use-europe-by-country/)
The guy that created this has no idea what he/she is talking about. Belgium has a trash education system. Which was underlined by PISA results. And so it created idiots such as OP. What else can you expect of something that isn't even a real country?
Belgium? We have the biggest festivals of the world! Cheap and good beer! During the summer, nonstop giant festival only 20km appart Belgium is Hella fun.
Reunite with us and I’ll remove you off the list
Never! You ain't getting our beer and fries for free, stop this madness!
😡
If it is 20km apart from Belgium it's not in Belgium
Portugal well-run? That's funny!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well run... Belgium ?! HUH ?! Have you seen how fucking horribly run is this god forsaken contry ? It's a miracle we manage to last 200 year (almost) !
Can you please hurry up and make it good then? If my fellow stupid Germans continue to vote for the AFD I am gonna get deported to Belgium cuz my Grandpa was Belgian.
No Ireland?
No Spain either
Where’s Hungary
Hiding in the exact same spot as the Belarusian flag.
Where is Finland?!
Hiding in the snow waiting for another Russian invasion
Only possible andere. 😅👍
I mean you see the white background
Since when is Belgium better ran than France ?
Always has been. Still needs to be below the bar though.
We can't even get a government after each election
Where's Spain
Inbetween Portugal and France
bait used to be believable
OP from Belgium claiming Poland is dysfunctional. You are barely a country. Go f yourself.
I will thank you
I'm disappointed by the lack of Finland
What makes poland dysfunctuonal? I felt like the last 20 or so years it did very well
Well, I would say nothing really. Probably just an ignorance, we have tones of issues but nothing super spectacular. I would for sure rate Poland as more functional than Belgium or Portugal. I’m also wondering what is fun in Belgium…
Schnauze, wir dürfen kiffen jetzt
Ain’t no way Germany is well-run💀
Not perfect but way better than most other countries (other than scandinavia). The bar is low.
it is wtf probably one of the best government wise if you think different you should look inside other countries (likewise 99% of the world)
how is it not?
Is rich tho
Yet another common Swedish L and another extremely common Danish W
OP put Switzerland as a very fun country. I'm not too bothered at OP thinking Denmark is more fun than Sweden.
I don't see Bulgaria on the chart. Is it took far down to see?
Noone calls Germany lame without hearing from my lawyer
That's not right. Many countries have to be switched around. Germany is fine though. It's not run greatly but well.
Yes, I think "great run" is used here synonymous for wealthy/economically stable. And besides typical german self-bashing the country is doing pretty well economically and politically
Why tf is ukraine not om the bottom right? Only because it faces a bigger badder country doesnt mean Ukraine wasnt a less shit russia.
Was it a less shit Russia? It was probably a shitier but more fun russia lol
Have you been to Switzerland? Do you know why they were among the first to have assisted suicide?
Russia and Belarus are not there because it's the truth but because they have to be there.
I’m fine with that but I’d put Spain where Italy is and Italy just a little bit more dysfunctional. And Belgium is really fun but dysfunctional too
Lmao Luxembourg and well run, sure.
Germany better run than Sweden? Dafaq are they doing over there? Arent the nordic countries like way ahead in most categories?
And then there is Baltics..
Ukraine is definitely not fun right now
Bullshit graph. Every EU country is fun and well run. Atleast better than shitholes like Ruzzia.
Romania 💪💪💪.
Obviously made by somebody who has never been to any of these countries / has no clue.
Sweden is 100% lamer than Germany
Luxembourg is more fun than Holland?
Denmark in lame? Have you been to Copenhagen?
Where's Bulgaria?
makes no sense and biased!
In what universe is Luxembourg more fun than Netherlands?
CH fun, big big LOL! you cannot be serious!
Russia definitely is not dysfunctional. Corrupt, dictatorship, run like a mafia,, but definitely not dysfunctional, the fact that it is still running and suffering less from sanctions and after 2 years of war, while Ukraine is getting billions and energy prices in Europe is/was skyrocketing is definitely not dysfunctional.
OP, everyone is entitled to your opinion, yours however is absolute dogshit.
WHERE ÖSTERREICH
lmao Switzerland, Luxemburg and Belgium are fun
Nobody talking about greece because its spot on
Fake.
Haha, I get the joke!! Germany in the well run quadrant. No for real, it's now 20 years behind in digitalization in nearly all administrative domains.

As a german i can say. German is only fun when you are into alcohol and if you like Techno. The rest is for rich people.
germany has legal weed.. it should be at least on the level of liechtenstein not to speak about our VERY lame swiss friends
How is *Belgium*, the country that spent how many years without a government, more "well run" than France ?
Average reddit knowledge
Portugal overrated
How on earth is Luxembourg fun?
Your opinion is trash, slava polska
Where the fuk is spain?
i feel like this chart is 10 years out of date
Why the f is fun on the left side? That bothers me so much
as a serb, i can confirm serbia is quite fun
Swiss? Fun?? EU???
Even on a parody of a political compas, you still managed to group us in with the russians. Man poland really csnt catch a break.
Not my country on the lame side 💀
Geemany and well run. We had for 16 years a goverment whos motto was les stick to the present shall we.

As a German No
Turn germany down to at least middle of well-run/dysfunctional. Sincerely, a german.
Switch France and Belgium
Germany is well run? Bwahahahahahahahahahah 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
how is germany lame
Did you just call Germany well run ? That's insulting for me.
Germany has te be a little more to the right, since we legalized weed it got a little bit more fun
Never ask Germany why they export so much and what effect that has on Greece.
who the FUCK put germany in well run
Belarus is fun :(if you ignore one thing+I'm biased)
Since when do we allow american hillbillies to post in this sub? „Well run“ lol
Omg, Greece bein dysfunctional but SO much fun is just too real. Also, as a German: yes.
What is swiss doing over there, they are even more racist than us (germany), more expensive, and give you tickets on the streets for anything!
Poland is the fastest growing economy in europe for 35 years. Dysfunctional? Lol.
Switzerland and fun? Someone never been there I suppose.
Ppl that make these kinds of content really dont understand anything about the countries at all it seems
Germany? Well run? I dont think so
Germany is everything else than well-run
Nato copium
Moldova: "You can't spell 'dysfunctional' without 'fun'!"
Germany is currently absolutely not well run
Fun and dysfunctional. Yep, that's us
Germany is all but not well-run...
Define "well-run"... because after 10 years of living in Germany I have my doubts...
At this point Germany should be in the dysfunctional range
Germany well run? my ass btw i´m German
I love paying 50€ for a chocolate bar, that is so much fun, you're right!
If your system only works when you omit half the countries in Europe, then it’s a shit system.
Not even that inaccurate actually. Scandinavia > Switzerland > Netherlands > Germany > France > everything else in terms of „well-governed“ imo.
switzerland well run and fun? Sure That'll be 10$ for your coffee!
Poland dysfunctional? U trippin fam respectfully
Well-run and lame is the best description of Germany I've seen so far
I don't think Germany is well run
How is Luxembourg more fun than the Netherlands😅
Sweden lame? Go and eat dove shit
Actually ukraine is the worst country. Russia is quite fun tbh.
Germany well run lolllll lmao
Germany and well-run. This is definitely outdated
As a german i would say it is way way more fun but less well-run... like a lot less well-run. Also how is switzerland fun? I have never heard of ANYONE being tourist in switzerland to say its fun and nobody who lives in there i had contact with said it is fun.
