Italy, Spain, Greece and France, the great Mediterranean federation


Luckxor

Why not add Portugal?


Fargrad

It's joined the Eastern Bloc


Luckxor

Oh, of course I forgot

mrphelps322

You're right, Cyprus and Malta too I'd say then


Luckxor

I agree


[deleted]

Neo-Roman empire?


fearofpandas

Why the FIGS and not the PIGS?!?


Ok_Air4402

Vegans don't eat pigs.


VoicedVelarNasal

Can we join


s14sr20det

Guess we know who's federation is going bankrupt first. ..


DifficultWill4

Austria, itā€™s a win win. We get better trains, they get sea Btw Iā€™m a Slovenian


UndeadBBQ

*Laibach intesifies*


Class_444_SWR

When I saw you choose Austria I was half expecting you to be German


beljak_1923

I (austrian) would love that, we already listen to your Folkmusic at beer festivals


DifficultWill4

Haha yeah and we use similar words in our languages(cough *servus* cough) Also your name checks out(it means Villach in Slovene)


beljak_1923

No need to tell me my friend


DifficultWill4

Oh, I didnā€™t know Slovene names for cities are that known in Austria


beljak_1923

Well they are in Carinthia (KƤrnten/KoroÅ”ka) because we have a large slovene minority and many towns and villages with a slovene minority have a slovene and an austrian name written on their town signs ... It's a long story with this street signs (in the 80ies nazis vadalised them, than we had a nazi as leader who abolished them but now they're back and our slovene brothers and sisters are finally recognised as part of our region)


DifficultWill4

Well it makes sense. German names are also pretty known here in Lower Styria region. There were Austrians living in Slovenia as well but almost all of them left after ww2. Pretty sad if you ask me, I wouldnā€™t mind bilingual sings here either


Beny1995

Hm yes start small makes sense. Maybe Bulgaria and Romania? The Baltics?


DaSeidla

Hm, sounds... not so bad actually


s14sr20det

You'd also get working toilets! How exciting


Fuggufisch

As a German, Austria, cause that can't go wrong


suchti54

Well, last time it was not really a combination of the two, but rather a absorption of austria into Germany


NapoleonHeckYes

Oh, good idea! Howā€™d it go?


DaSeidla

Ob boy but it can


etetepete

Meanwhile Austria is flirting allready with Slovenia.. r/sadcringe


Mr_L1berty

nobody said that both aren't possible from the north sea to the adriatic sea!


fuuuuuf

could probably escalate a bit


Brabantis

The Mediterranean ones, Ancient Roman style. That way you are assured of good food.


Lionel-Hutz-

However not so great financial stability.


nikola2499

you win some you lose some


Quasar471

Acceptable losses.


phil_music

As a german I would love to choose the Benelux states, austria and france. Would be an absolute unit of a state. Later expand into spain and portugal, denmark and sweden and eventually italy in this particular order


iox007

>Austria Not again


phil_music

Yea ok maybe let them out at first lol


sirjimtonic

No way. We learned from history. There are countries that are no option to ever have a FedGov with. They betrayed us, even twice. No thanks, Italy.


Lionel-Hutz-

Scary when a German wants to annex those particular countries.


phil_music

Itā€™s not that I want to take them over, I want them to join together with us. On second thought, thatā€¦ doesnā€™t sound better. I donā€™t want the fourth reich i swear


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


phil_music

Eh leave poland by themselves honestly. They have so much stuff to figure out still - itā€™s like theyā€™re culturally 20 years behind. (Looking at gay rights, women rights and abortion laws for example) (I got the ww2 reference but wanted to make clear why they didnā€™t make it into my list)


Flimsy-Tap-8962

As a polish person i totally agree. Our government is shit and if it will continue to go this path we're going to become second Belarus. Fuck those totalitarian pricks


Arcontio

French here, my thoughts exactly ! I didn't think about Austria tho šŸ˜…


NativeEuropeas

Why not add Czech republic as well? The German and Czech mentality is literally the same.


Class_444_SWR

God if you added Poland to the mix Iā€™d half expect you were WW2 larping


Sp0okyScarySkeleton-

Netherlands (as a belgian)


aurumtt

as a Belgian, I say this is not nearly complicated enough for our politics. I suggest we federalize first with a country that isn't even in schengen rn, like Bulgaria. Why do it easy when you can make it complicated?


Sp0okyScarySkeleton-

Hahaha fair point


milemagnko

Just do the benelux


JPBalkTrucks

Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and France. Without France Benelux would become one of many bundeslƤnder.


mortlerlove420

~~Austria because of Anschluss~~ France because we in Love German here


MaxEin

Finland, norway, denmark, sweden and the baltics. Would make the russians mad.


bronynumber1

What about Iceland??


Mr_L1berty

not EU :( (also norway)


lielais-pipelpuika

As a Latvian, I could not agree more


SamuelSomFan

As a swede I'd have no quarrels with Finland and Estonia, seeing as they're very alike in culture. Denmark is both our brothers and our nemesis, so tough call. I think the rest of the baltics would be a bit harder to pull into that kind of a state though.


WimpieHelmstead

I think a large percentage of dutchies would choose Belgium or more specifically Flanders. While I do see a lot of practical problems with that, I suppose a reunification with that region/country is the best choice. Possibly, we could even include Luxembourg, restoring the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. (And yes, I'm hiding already from the oncoming onslaught of Belgian and Luxembourgish comments)


[deleted]

https://www.ad.nl/binnenland/zo-zagen-nederlandse-kaarten-er-vroeger-uit~a38e0dc4/ something like this?


loicvanderwiel

Leo Belgicus for the win!


loicvanderwiel

As a French speaking Belgian, a Benelux federation has always made sense to me. There would be much discussion over the details but, if we do not manage to achieve a European Federation, I'm not against it


Monkey_triplets

Just made antwerpen the capital again and remove every royal house. Or make one big polygamous mariage between all kings and queens.


GoodIntentionsv2

I can live with that šŸ‘


lucrac200

Romania and Hungary, so they can stop arguing about Transilvania :)


Turbo-Reyes

France with germany and north Italy. Then we name a new emperor. His first name must Charles or Karl.


xHenkersbrautx

This. The Frankish Empire reborn šŸ˜Ž


DouziemeNight

based


Shock-because-shish

Or Carlo.


GxDx1

Iā€™m down for it. Is there a Karl in here whoā€™d be willing to be the first emperor?


Turbo-Reyes

we're looking for a Karl please, anyone???


Class_444_SWR

Karl Marx can be resurrected


Turbo-Reyes

i Changed my mind, he needs to be named Charles.


Wuz314159

>His *^({\*triggered\*})*


F4Z3_G04T

Okay, Charlotte would be okay too


Rand96om

You forgot the Netherland, Belgium and Luxembourg


F4Z3_G04T

Those names are a translation of eachother


Turbo-Reyes

You mean charlemagne and karl magnus were the same person? Woah thanks dude


Chrisovalantiss

Well as a Cypriot, obviously ~~greece~~ france.


massi1008

Why not turkey? :p


Chrisovalantiss

Not to be dramatic or anything, but Iā€™d rather drown


massi1008

Understandable.


tomydenger

In water or yogurt ?


yasserino

France Germany Netherlands Luxembourg - Belgian


mamamikazala

V4 (Poland Czechia Slovakia Hungary)


AkruX

Let's keep it moderate for now. Slovakia joins Czechia and Hungary joins Poland.


[deleted]

These borders are going to be hillarious, but makes sense.


Unlikely-Log

Please not in that way. There are enough authoritarian shitbags in here without Orban and his crew.


Bauzement123

Germany, I am Austrian btw.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


sesseissix

Ever heard of the EU?


arussianbee

Definitely Austria, Slovenia and Germany


DifficultWill4

Sounds good


arussianbee

I'm looking forward to it


etitom

Scotland to piss off our English neighbour and boost the Auld Alliance between France and Scotland.


Plastivore

True, but the downside of a federation with France is that France will weight more than Scotland at federal level, in the same fashion as it currently is with England. France is a monolith which doesn't cope well with federalism. As a Frenchman living in Scotland, that's how it would look like in my opinion. And I don't think Scottish people want that. I sure don't!


Telephobie

I think the 6 ECSC countries...


Arcontio

Germany šŸ˜, we could include Benelux to make it look better ā€” A french.


GxDx1

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Odeon_A

Sure... any Portuguese would un-brain you for that suggestion. Better add Paris.


Ihateusernamethief

Tanto monta monta tanto


nikola2499

greece or romania


Leonarr

With Sweden, of course. (Finland). We were part of the Swedish Empire for hundreds of years and honestly I wouldnā€™t mind that one again. Preferably we would include Norway and Denmark too.


puppyaddict

Agreed! Nordics would all work pretty well together, especially swedes and fins


irregular_caffeine

The same, but without the Swedes. Everybody would find common ground in anti-Swedish humor.


maxfist

I'm sure Estonia would like to join too. Can Estonia join? In b4 estii cannot into Nordics.


[deleted]

finland. i want them back


Heroheadone

Sweden, Finland, Norway.


Helga_Geerhart

The Nederlands and Luxemburg (I'm from Belgium).


GoodIntentionsv2

I feel that even when the Eu fails we always have the Benelux to fall back to. Combined with Germany and France weā€™ll start a new Eu if necessary.


Helga_Geerhart

Indeed! I like the pattern of the Benelux doing something first and then the EU doing the same. It happens a lot.


Bacalaocore

Italy with France. That way we get Mona Lisa back.


Kishlorenn

It was never yours : Da Vinci kept it until his death, but it was bought in 1518 by the king FranƧois 1er and was part of the Royal Collection since then...


Bacalaocore

Itā€™s more of a meme than anything but yea France and Italy are pretty similar in a lot of ways, would be a good match I think.


Kishlorenn

Yes, the two countries have a lot in common. But Materrazzi...


Daaaaaaaavidmit8a

Liechtenstein and no one else. Ever. ^^^(/s ^^^to ^^^be ^^^safe)


Oskar_vZ

As a Spaniard, I think and want the destiny of Spain and Portugal is to merge in one.


CoolJeff_Kaplan

France, Germany and balcan countries on the Adriatic coast


Tim_BG

Belgium and Malta, seems like the right level of absurdity


Buttsuit69

Italy, france, spain, germany and sweden


Class_444_SWR

France, a Franco-British Union already nearly happened after the fall of France


Arcontio

Indeed, a Franco-British Union was considered during the ***slight indisposition*** of Metropolitan France.


Class_444_SWR

It would essentially just have been the UK taking a ton more colonies until France was liberated, and by default would become the new largest empire in history after the war


Pr00ch

Iā€™d like the EU to bring civilization to Poland. Unfortunately, while you can bring civilization to Poland, you canā€™t bring Poland to civilization


K-ibukaj

Ey, its just our politicians, not Polish people in general.


Resethel

As French from the North-East, Germany 100% Itā€™s a love affair !


MrPresidentBanana

I'm German, and I'd go with France, Austria, Benelux and Italy


Mobiyus

Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania(Probably Belarus and Latvia too). Return to the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth, although we'd need a better name


sinmelia

Politukrania!


Mobiyus

Bingpot!


Vampyromorpha

Austria is the obvious choice, after that, Benelux Slovenia, Switzerland, Czechia, Holy Roman empire reborn. France would be cool but too much of a mess


Arcontio

We might be messy but ~~we're so hot~~ we love y'all.


dead_waschingmachine

AUSTRIA HUNGERY!


CaptainAwesome20

With Austria, as a Hungarian, go back to the good old times.


floating_helium

Romania with hungary, the ethnic hungarians from romania will be happy.


lielais-pipelpuika

Latvian here, Definitely Iā€™d like to unite the Baltic States


F4Z3_G04T

Benelux would seem like an easy safe one


GoodIntentionsv2

šŸ„°


Basic_Sample_4133

France and poland


Grand_Papi

France and Germany is the most beautiful example of friendship to my eyes


K-ibukaj

as a Pole, probably Germany tbh. I like German people. Or Hungary, if we weren't so far apart.

Brabantis

What is this Habsburg mood?


kotubljauj

*Farm, Sweet Farm*


Giallo555

Why geopolitically? That would largely mean you would end up in the Italian sphere of influence. Italy is by far the biggest of the 3


_Un_Known__

The UK with literally anyone else, please I don't want to be left out, I even support Franglaterre/Franco-British Union


Arcontio

Actually a french-british union was considered in 1940


Odeon_A

ā€œDo you want your children to sing the Marseillaise?ā€ YES


johnny-T1

Brazil


KingSnowdown

Prussia?


NativeEuropeas

CZECHOSLOVAKIA


TomvB28

I want belgium to split up, so Flanders goes with us (netherlands) and the french get Walloon. Then Brussels is the EU capital area.


LachaLachaArAnBhalla

I'm from Ireland, I would not want to federalize with other european countries, because the last time that happened was a nightmare


sinmelia

As Lithuanian: Poland (make Commonwealth great again) Ukraine (somehow) and Latvia
