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 months ago

Came here to say this lol

[โ€“] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 months 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 45 points 2 months 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 months ago (4 children)

You'll have to speak French or German though.

[โ€“] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months 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 months ago (1 children)

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

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

The Swiss and the Belgians have streamlined french counting.

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

Is Cajun close enough?

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

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

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 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 months ago (1 children)

And the largest military by far.

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

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

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

I'd be so jazzed. Please come liberate UwU

[โ€“] janus2@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months 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 months ago

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

[โ€“] albbi@piefed.ca 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

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

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 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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 months 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€“] Newsteinleo 6 points 2 months 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 months ago

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

[โ€“] atro_city@fedia.io 6 points 2 months 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 months ago

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

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

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

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

You misspelled "Southern Alberta" there bud

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

Eww, no someone else can have it

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

Yes, please.

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

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

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

Tough, but fair.

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