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 13 points 3 days ago

Came here to say this lol

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.

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.

"Occupation zone" means we are putting our boots, not our hands.

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

[โ€“] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (4 children)

You'll have to speak French or German though.

Is Cajun close enough?

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

[โ€“] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days 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 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

As someone in the south... PLEASE RECONSIDER!

[โ€“] spirinolas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

You're more than welcome! You are diluting the place and you will only make the problem solving itself take longer.

Fuck, we got Florida.. can we gift it to Russia or something?

[โ€“] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 days 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€“] trinsec@piefed.social 20 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Ah nice, the Netherlands can have their New Amsterdam back, lol.

[โ€“] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 3 days ago (3 children)

now it's New New Amsterdam

[โ€“] Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam Why they changed it, I can't say People just liked it better that wayyyyy

  • no Indigenous nation
  • no indipendent Blak nation
  • no Chinese occupied zone

hmm

[โ€“] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago

You like segregation?

[โ€“] Fedizen@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

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

[โ€“] Mangoholic@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

Or everything just reads fallout zone.

[โ€“] bizzle@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

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

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

[โ€“] MML@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 days ago

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

[โ€“] albbi@piefed.ca 4 points 2 days 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.

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

in all seriousness I do enjoy & appreciate learning languages, at least a lot for a dumbass American haha. been trying to learn Japanese and Spanish on and off for about 15 years. hopefully someday I'll get serious enough about one or both to go for conversational fluency

I probably would enjoy learning French as much as I enjoy memeing about it lol

[โ€“] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 4 points 2 days 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

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.

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

checks community name

oh yeah its comment section time

Eh, I would prefer Mexico or Canada but I'll take the EU.

[โ€“] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago

You misspelled "Southern Alberta" there bud

[โ€“] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

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

[โ€“] BromSwolligans@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'd be so jazzed. Please come liberate UwU

[โ€“] umbrella@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

you liberate us.

you do all that to us.

Disagreed. When the US was liberating people against their will I was shitposting about it in defiance. I'm an American hero.

[โ€“] passepartout@feddit.org 7 points 3 days ago

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

[โ€“] mrslt@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Yes, please.

[โ€“] atro_city@fedia.io 5 points 3 days 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 3 days ago

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

[โ€“] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 days ago

Eww, no someone else can have it
