Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence

A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.

Here we toast:
๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
๐Ÿง€ The freest of health care
๐Ÿท The finest of foods
๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ The liberalest of liberties
๐ŸŒ The proud non-members and honorary cousins ๐Ÿ’ถ And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.

Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream โ€œonly in YUROP.โ€

Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

Minnesotan here, I for one welcome my new hoserlords

[โ€“] thegreekgeek@midwest.social 16 points 2 weeks ago

Came here to say this lol

[โ€“] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 weeks ago

Isn't Minnesota already basically South Canada, except Minnesotans expressively distinct themselves verbally from Canada? I'm certain there were a HIMYM episode or two about that.

[โ€“] spirinolas@lemmy.world 44 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

As an European let me clear, we're not putting our hands in the fucking south! Fuckin Trump-Land? Not worth the hassle. Let them incest themselves to extinction.

NO WAIT PLEASE TAKE US I'M BEGGING! I'LL EVEN DRINK YOUR TEA INSTEAD OF SWEET TEA!

[โ€“] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

You'll have to speak French or German though.

[โ€“] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

As long as it's German, I'm okay with this. I refuse to learn that fucked up French counting

[โ€“] Mopplikus@feddit.org 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You haven't seen the german version of fucked up counting yet then lol

[โ€“] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The Swiss and the Belgians have streamlined french counting.

[โ€“] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

Is Cajun close enough?

[โ€“] Kornblumenratte@feddit.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

The lingua franca of Europe is EU-English, though.

They're already 2/3rds of the way there.

[โ€“] socsa@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

Funny but we don't want bigger counties, we need smaller countries.

Split the USA up in 50 states, and those territories become their own independent country as well, then let them join the Europen union which by then we can rename

[โ€“] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

That's cute, until you remember the rogue nation of USA has nukes out the wazoo, and I have no doubt it will lay waste to the entire planet before this map ever happens.

[โ€“] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And the largest military by far.

[โ€“] passepartout@feddit.org 8 points 2 weeks ago

I think China would try to grab a fat slice from the left.

checks community name

oh yeah its comment section time

[โ€“] janus2@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I'll take the hockey and free healthcare but I REFUSE to learn French

[โ€“] MML@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 weeks ago

But it's easy, qui qui, hon hon hon.

[โ€“] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Take it from someone who speaks both as a foreign language: French is far, far less insane than English. I'd welcome it being the lingua franca instead of English. Or Spanish, or Italian, that's fine too

You don't understand, multilingualism is part of the healthcare. It delays the onset of dementia and Alzheimer's, and has many other benefits. I suppose if you hate French that much you can always choose another language.

Given that the US is currently carrying out russia's foreign policy, i find it hard to believe that mexico could seize and control like half the continent but russia hasn't even taken alaska.

[โ€“] SanctimoniousApe@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Half the continent would be the entire continental US & probably some of Canada (who likely wouldn't be too keen on Russia having a toehold, BTW).

[โ€“] laranis@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago

Mexican Occupation Zone would be the funniest thing ever and worth it to see some of those racist maga fucks have to answer to people with brown skin.

[โ€“] BromSwolligans@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

I'd be so jazzed. Please come liberate UwU

[โ€“] atro_city@fedia.io 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I can believe Mexico going in after the US civil war has taken out a good chunk of its population, but Canada, not so much. Do they even have a standing army? And the EU probably won't do shit. We'll have the Russians breathing down our necks.

I do like the map though. The bigger Mexico policy would be welcome.

[โ€“] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Canadaโ€™s military is the 16th best funded in the world

[โ€“] Newsteinleo 6 points 2 weeks ago

Can we skip the war part and go strait to me now being a Canadian, I would like me some of that health care.

[โ€“] Fedizen@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Mexico occupying Utah in post WW3 america is an unwritten tv show.

[โ€“] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

You misspelled "Southern Alberta" there bud

[โ€“] bizzle@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Please give Illinois to Canada, I could not bring myself to move to Iowa ๐Ÿคฎ

[โ€“] SolacefromSilence@fedia.io 4 points 2 weeks ago

Tough, but fair.

[โ€“] mrslt@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, please.

[โ€“] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

I think the chance of everything being China is far more likely.

[โ€“] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 weeks ago

Eww, no someone else can have it

Wait, if we become Canadian, does that mean we get Toronto housing prices to?
