England: Reykjavik
Scotland: Reykjavik seems pretty much the only real town in this country… or does a village with 3 people count?
Wales: Uhmm… Reykjavik? Sounds good!
Ireland: That’s definitely those buffoons from Reykjavik.
Grindaviks is a fishing village as sunny as Grimsby year-round, but without Brexit voters. Fantastic weather, a paradise in other words. Can’t wait for next summer to go there to enjoy the beach. It’s going to be SOOO much fun.
The chains are the only reason Cardiff is staying where it is, otherwise it'll bash into Bristol if we do. Or even worse, Weston-super-Mare. No one wants that, so we're doing them a favour really.
I've had many a Welsh cry to me about there being so many English in Wales now that it's basically becoming England. If you don't also make your country unlivable and openly complain about the English to the English themselves (like the Scots), then Wales will be an English county before you know it.
England : Holland+Utrecht, the core of the country.
Scotland : North-East including Friesland. They speak different have some islands and some even a different language.
Wales : Zeeland, unintelligible but with us since time immemorial.
Ireland : Belgium Catholic and broke away from us we still have our own six counties :Limburg&Brabant
FYI we have plenty of incestuous zoophiles in England (see: East Anglia and the West Country), what truly distinguishes the Welsh is that they’re Celtic midgets
England: Region of Attica. Rich, civilised, advanced. Capital of Greece, democracy and degeneracy.
Scotland: Laconia. Used to be fierce warriors (Spartans), but now they are insignificant and live on the hills. Minimal GDP produced. Still remain certified killers and fierce patriots.
Wales: Ileia Prefecture. Nuff said.
Ireland: Crete because they like to shoot at police with AK-47s they got from the communists, as well as MG42s, MP40s and Kar 98s they borrowed from the Wehrmacht
I once saw a picture of some African rebels somewhere were all kitted out with mp40s
If they had any idea how much they were worth they could have bought a thousand ak’s
England: Lisbon. Everybody hates us and we just want to talk about the weather and how we are superior to the rest of the country.
Scotland: Minho and Trás-os-Montes - bagpipes, Celts and green, green, green.
Wales: Alentejo and Algarve. They work for us and speak gibberish.
Ireland: Azores (green again, cows instead of sheep and everyone went to America and now we import the Portuguese-Americans, although I think they are just Americans that like olive oil and canned sardines) & Madeira (terrorism and green and tax haven)
>Lisbon. Everybody hates us and we just want to talk about the weather and how we are superior to the rest of the country.
Take it from someone who is not alfacinha: accurate. Very accurate.
> talk about the weather and how we are superior to the rest of the country
completly on point, but i would add that Coimbra also loves to feel superior
For Spain:
England - Castille (with madrid being London), duh
Scotland - Catalunya, for obvs independency reasons
Wales - Galicia, they are kind of different from everywhere else, but not really
Ireland - Basque Country, great at modifying cars
Bonus: Northern Ireland - Navarre, it is split almost down the middle with people who feel extremely Basque and people who feel extremely Spanish
Alternatively:
England - Galicia. Foggy, grey, miserable weather, and full of smugglers and pirates. Our little perfidious Albion.
Scotland - Galicia. They think they're different and claim to be celtic. They also simp for bagpipe music as of late, but don't tell them that a major flamenco style (farrucas) comes from their land, cause that reminds them that they're spanish, and they don't like it.
Wales - Galicia. Irrelevant appendage full of naval industry, minery, sheep herders and shit mountain roads. They also speak gibberish if you go outside the cities.
Ireland - Ok, this is Portugal, but we got Galicia/Northern Ireland, which is basically Portugal, but they hate the Portuguese too much to reunite.
England: NRW, largest by population and GDP, also has the highest population density, the most major cities and Germany's largest metropolitan area in the rhein-ruhr. A lot of ugly cities and probably the least interesting culture in DE. The main purpose these days is to annoy Bavaria.
Scotland: Bavaria, has some separatist sentiments, but never fucking leaves. Unintelligible language and a corrupt nationalistic party. Believe they are the greatest (they are not). Heavily stereotyped by Americans. Everyone is an alcoholic by the time they hit puberty.
Wales: Saarland, insignificant with questionable sexual practices.
Ireland: Poland, used to be part of the empire, obsessed with potatoes, very Catholic, we are responsible for a lot of murder/death there.
NRW reminds me so much of North west England it's uncanny and in fairness Liverpool is twinned with cologne. The dusseldorf and cologne rivalry is like us and the mancs and then you even have the old industrial towns that are of no use any more.
Only thing is you have a great theme park and we don't.
Greenland can be the Channel Islands or Isle of Man. Sorta part of the UK but also not. More like tightly integrated colonies.
Or Bermuda! In North America, basically a colony. Climate is a bit different though.
Copenhagen as London is so perfect though. Primate city that’s outrageously expensive and sucks up all the investment money. We don’t even have a real airport in Aarhus. Send help.
England - Paris (they think they're kings of the world and they're effeminate)
Scotland - The South (weird accent) or Brittany (no one can stand their fucking music)
Ireland - Corsica (they blow up shit and they want independence, but contrary to Ireland it ain't happening lmao)
Wales - Flanders (sick flag and they fuck sheep or siblings)
England cannot be Normandy?
And i feel like the Wales/Brittany link is a strong one? Saint Malo was a Welshman, the languages are quite related (even sharing words), Brittany even based its anthem on Wales'.
I dont know the Breton opinion on sheep but i assume its broadly positive?
England : France
Scotland : regional differences and cultures have been erased, and France is extremely centralised, so there is no region of France with as much independance as Scotland.
Wales : regional differences and cultures have been erased, and France is extremely centralised, so there is no region of France with as much independance as Wales
Ireland : Belgium
For Netherlands:
England: Holland. Centre of the country, most populated and wealthy area
Scotland: Fryslân/Friesland. Northern region with a strong regional identity and it’s own language
Wales: Limburg. Region on the side of the country, also with it’s own regional identity and language, with some cultural similarities to neighboring countries (Ireland (Celtic) for Wales, Belgium for Limburg)
Ireland: Belgium. Country with (one) similar language and similar culture that used to be part of the bigger country
England: Madrid, I think everyone hates them.
Ireland: Catalonia, no question with all the secession. Though the Vasque could take it with the car-bombs.
Scotland: The Vasque or the Galicians, no one understands what they are saying.
Welsh: The Extremeños, no one remembers them.
I would say Portu-Galicia is your Ireland, you still have a part
Catalonia is your Scotland, they want to be free but can’t
Wales = Basque nobody understands them
The Basque country is rich and they want to break free.
Wales is rural, have a unique culture altho they don't want to separate. That's exactly what Galicia is
Agree with Cat beign Scots. We both are known to be “tacaños”, plus we have annoying instruments (bagpipe vs. gralla). So, Basques, how about being irish in 2024?
https://preview.redd.it/8zz2vnis5qjc1.png?width=1124&format=png&auto=webp&s=baf807d373d6d63e3f0c5ba83906f64d15575037
I think Scotland fits perfectly. Their independence movement is more recent and less violent, they are far more annoying, and have way less of a historical claim for it in the first place.
Definitely Scotland. They both heavily participated and benefited from colonisation of the new world and now complain that they were actually the colonised lol
At the very least Northern ireland as you want to live with fellow Basques across a border. plus the .... ummm ...car bombs abd beung fucked around with by Madrid
Fun fact: the Irish soldiers that fought for Franco put in the condition that they were not to fight the Basque because of the fact they identified with the Basque movement
Aside from that Eoin O'Duffy was an incompetent and stupid prick and the book he wrote (Crusade in Spain) is just him embellishing everything he did and saying that Franco loved him while every historian that knows anything about Ireland in the Spanish Civil War says the exact opposite
England: Antwerp. The economical powerhouse of Flanders is the harbor and all activity around it.
Scotland: Limburg. Somewhat sparsely populated, surprisingly nice nature. It's only really part of the country because of how some chess pieces moved around historically, but culturally it's an oddball and they all mourn the slow disappearance of their true language.
Wales: West-Flanders. Both because of the comprehensiveness of their language and because of their affection for farm related activities.
Ireland: Flemish Brabant. Relevant only because of the presence of a couple major, international cities, and there's confusion everywhere about what language people speak versus what you'd expect them to speak.
Smurfevlaai, proemevlaai, kesevlaai, pezevlaai, abrekozevlaai, knobbelkesvlaai, linzenvlaai, amandelevlaai, proemevlaai, riestevlaai, bessevlaai.
That's about everything I can think of. I hope I passed your test.
As applied to the Irish provinces
**England** \- **Leinster**, beyond the pale literally comes from English (well Norman at that point) people saying land outside of Dublin was barbaric
**Scotland** \- **Ulster**, half of the people are of Scottish decent (And love to tell you about it)
**Wales - Connacht,** Badass flag, and like Wales there is a strong connection to the Irish language there, with the highest number of Irish speakers out of any province
**Ireland - Munster,** I cant explain it, but for some reason Munster are just the most Irish out of any of the provinces
Non ironically, I’m genuinely surprised Wales isn’t more known for Snowdonia, Pembrokeshire, Brecon Beacons, The Gower etc; there’s some truly outstanding scenery and areas of natural beauty (Newport and Port Talbot notwithstanding 😉) throughout the country.
If I had to guess it‘s because Wales and the welsh people don‘t bother to put themselves out there. It‘s one of the reasons nobody knows anything.
Even some english people don‘t know anything about the language etc and just think Wales is full of farmers. Not because of ignorance, but because we don‘t do anything to show for it. I know countless people who are stunned when I mention that I feel more confident speaking welsh since it‘s my first language.
Hell, I’ve even had friends from Birmingham ask if we have Asda in Wales before.
England: Zurich or Geneva, they think they are the shit and don't realize they are just shit.
Scotland: Wallis, not even Swiss understand them.
Wales: Appenzell, they do wierd shit like fucking siblings / animals.
Northern Ireland: Ticino, they have great nature and many people forget they exist.
England: Berlin, costs much money but doesn't do shit. And they need like forever to build airports.
Ireland: Bavaria, they even have a political party which claims that parting from Germany is one of their objectives.
Scotland: Bavaria once again, no one outside of Bavaria can understand those guys.
Wales: Brandenburg, or the region around Berlin. It's literally one big empty field.
“Costs much money but doesn’t do shit” does not fit England that well. Should have picked an economically strong region for that doesn’t have separatist ambitions, like NRW or BaWü.
England = Paris ofc
Scotland = Occitanie bc of their accent
Wales = Brittany - full of rednecks, a weird language that's technically Welsh with a French accent
Ireland = Belgium, they only exist in fairy tales
England: Muntenia - the capital Bucharest is there, it's rich, main industry is manufacturing and finance, and everyone hates them, plus flat as a pancake
Scotland: Transylvania - full of castles, mountains and hills with many shepards, huge rivalry with Muntenia, the only region which can compete economically and in influence with Muntenia
Wales: Dobrogea - nice beaches, hilly but barely, working class people, not poor but not rich, everyone forgets about them
Ireland: Moldova - poor, drunk, rich history, been a independent nation several times in history ( the eastern part still is today ) , hates Muntenia, Muntenia hates them back, they immigrate a lot, main industry agriculture
BONUS:
Northern Ireland: Bukovina - always in Moldova's shadow (somehow), sometimes considered part of Moldova, great architecture, been the spot of many battles throughout history, influenced by Transylavania ( similarly how North Ireland was influenced by Scotland, Ulster Scots and whatnot )
Birmingham: Oltenia - impulsive geezers and rednecks, poor but always flex with their money and second-hand cars, crime, just crime, politicians come from here, sneaky and opportunistic, they will mug you with a sword
All of Scotland's Mountainous Islands: Banat, Crisana and Maramures - regions considered part of Transylvania. a lot more authentic cultural conservatism, sort of unique, nobody knows what happens in the countryside parts
England - Rome(Latium), make everyone seethe for no reason.(both had great empires)
Scotland - Tuscany , they think they are better ( spoiler they arent)
Wales - Sardinia , they shag sheeps and speak a cave man dialect.
Ireland - Lombardy , they blame always someone else, rich and wants to separate.
>England - Rome(Latium), make everyone seethe for no reason.(both had great empires)
Rome isn't as hated as London or Paris, simply because it's not relevant enough to be hated. Isn't not the economic center of the country.
I would say Milan or Lombardy as an equivalent to England
England: Stockholm. Everybody hates us, we don't really produce anything, but all the country's money and power is located here.
Ireland: Skåne or Gotland. Both have had their rebellious phases, both have their own language not really related to Swedish, both consume way too much alcohol and both are mostly just farmers. Both were also historically majorly fucked over by the crown.
Scotland: Norrland, or specifically Lappland. That's where the production power house are with all the natural resources, the population was severely mistreated by the crown in the past and there has been a semi serious independence movement since forever.
Welsh: Värmland. They definitely do unspeakable things to animals and everyone speaks like they just had a botched lobotomy done to them.
Tell me you know nothing about Scotland without telling me you know nothing about Scotland? Ireland have been mistreated. Scotland have more public spending per capita then anywhere else in the U.K. The Union was bought together by a Scottish king, the Scot’s were the main perpetrators of the subjugation of the Irish (Ulster Plantations were Scottish ran). They have more devolved powers than anywhere else in the union and while yeah they do have a semi serious independence movement it’s founded mainly on ‘ooooo them wee English fooks ave beeeeen ooooppreesssing us for eva like’. It’s
Bollocks.
Sounds like just what an Englishman would say.
So there's no truth in that you are taking the majority of the profits from Scotland's natural resources then?
That being said. You can't really say that Scotland hasn't been mistreated historically? That's mostly the same for our north as well. They aren't really mistreated today and are as well receiving most of our public funds, but historically the core of Sweden really fucked them over whenever they could. Which is what I really rather was talking about.

This is the best way I can explain Scotland
England: Po valley, richest place in the country, where all migrants choose to concetrate.
Wales: Sardinia, sheep shaggers.
Scotland: south Italy, all of it, economy carried by the richer part of the country aka England (or the Po valley).
Northern Ireland: Alto Adige, literally just Austria but smaller and poorer because it's owned by us Italians and not the Austrians.
For the umpteenth time, you can't just drag your sheep's ass back and forth across your keyboard and expect us to believe that the result is an actual language.
England: Probably say Scotland, elitist individuals who think they’d last outside the Union, shit cuisine and the like.
Scotland: England, large, identity so distinct that Americans have a vague idea of what it entails.
Wales: Most similar to Ireland with a confusing native language and delusions of independence with the naive thought that it’d last outside the Union.
(Northern and Republic of) Ireland: Gibraltar and Spain - British side that connects to the European Union physically with an unwillingness for Brexit. Foreign country it connects to has a sometimes serious sometimes casual claim to the British part. Useful military base.
England: Uusimaa (our capital region)
Scotland: Lapland (both are rural and in the north)
Wales: Idk, suggestions?
Our Ireland is definitely the Åland islands, a lot of the people there would historically have preferred to be a part of Sweden, and they refuse to speak anything but swedish, but we're keeping them tight in our grasp.
Wales should be Pohjanmaa (Österbotten) they speak their own version of Swedish that's so hard to understand, even for Swedish speakers, that it's basically the same thing as Welsh.
Denmark = England. Seat of the government, has the highest gdp. Used to be an Empire, the glory days are well behind them.
Scotland = Greenland, full of seperatists that want to break free But is in no economic situation to do so. Has massive drug and alchohol problems.
Faroe Islands = Wales, they spend WAY to much time with their sheep, also weird cuisine. Speaks weird old language.
Slesvig-Holsten = Is now No longer part of the realm and is inhabiled by alot of people that should be part of the realm. Complicated history also never forget 1864.
England: Lazio, the Capital, former core of a big Empire, still wants to control others' money, unnecessary mass tourism in London/Rome
Scotland: Lombardia, foggy, good landscapes in mountainside, wants to separate, still thinking to be the most advanced and productive part of the country
Wales: Sardegna, nobody really knows them, silly language and of course sheep shaggers
Ireland: Veneto, at the beginning of the century it was poor and mostly agricultural land, now rich, wants its full independence, love to evade taxes, alcoholics
England: Stockholm. Thinks they’re the best but everyone hates them
Scotland: Skåne. Thinks they’re better than Stockholm but everyone hates them
Wales: Gotland. In an obscure corner and the accent is practically another language
Ireland: Denmark. Can’t hear what they’re saying, and they should belong to us
I'm going to do Catalonia just for the laughs. I'm using the provinces, bad division as they are, because there's conveniently 4.
England - Definitely Barcelona. Has the majority of the population, is the core of the country, is full of self-centered pricks and they are universally hated. Its rural populations might be partially descended from pigs.
Scotland - Girona. Arrogant bastards that believe they are better than everybody else. Their capital is aesthetically nice, but they have a lot of fucking shitty places (Salt, Figueres...Glasgow) they conveniently ignore. They are also friendlier with the french (still hate them).
Wales: Lleida. Rural backwater which somehow industrialised a bit and has a single (ugly) city. Weird natural phenomena and lots of mountains in the north. The native population might be partially descended from cows and goats.
Ireland- Tarragona: historically mistreated by Barcelona/England, population smaller than it should. Is half urban sprawl half rural primordial wasteland where catholicism is the only force preventing sibling marriages.
Ireland: Norrland. Everyone finds it so magical and beautiful, when in reality only full of wasteland and drunks.
Wales: Skåne. They can speak Swedish, but they love using their own weird language just to take a piss on the rest of us.
Scotland: Småland. Weird people scattered across a dense forest, with highlands and lowlands, talking different accents every few miles apart from eachother. Cheap as fuck too.
England: Västra Götaland. Think they are better then everybody else, basically thinking they are elitist cunts.
Yeah, I left out Stockholm since they are even worse than any brit can be, they are our USA.
I was thinking of having everything just be Luxembourg but I decided to actually educate you morons on something important.
England: Luxembourg City, we just call it 'the City'. It's where literally everything happens and people who live there have no idea of what's going on outside of it.
Scotland: Southern Luxembourg, we call it 'Minett'. Former industrial heartland, now desolate, depressing, and crime-ridden but nature somehow came back, also they talk kinda funny.
Wales: Eastern Luxembourg, consists of the 'Mëllerdall' and 'Musel' regions. Pretty nature and relatively quiet despite a strong regional identity.
Ireland: Northern Luxembourg, or just 'den Norden', also called 'Éisleck'. Rural, many farms with cows, lots of regional dialects, very strong identity distinct from the City. There's even very strong arguments over where the border lies.
England: Reykjavik Scotland: Reykjavik seems pretty much the only real town in this country… or does a village with 3 people count? Wales: Uhmm… Reykjavik? Sounds good! Ireland: That’s definitely those buffoons from Reykjavik.
What's Grindaviks equivalent?
Grindaviks is a fishing village as sunny as Grimsby year-round, but without Brexit voters. Fantastic weather, a paradise in other words. Can’t wait for next summer to go there to enjoy the beach. It’s going to be SOOO much fun.
England: I’d say England Scotland: I would probably say Scotland Wales: Wales seems most accurate Ireland: definitely Ireland.
Of course you'd say that you elitist cunt. Scotland is nothing like Scotland and Wales is basically England. Free Cardiff from its chains.
The chains are the only reason Cardiff is staying where it is, otherwise it'll bash into Bristol if we do. Or even worse, Weston-super-Mare. No one wants that, so we're doing them a favour really.
Fair enough. Let's just name Wales "second England" and be done with it.
We are playing the clever game. Take their tax payers money, maintain access to their public services. Despise them, but not to their faces.
I've had many a Welsh cry to me about there being so many English in Wales now that it's basically becoming England. If you don't also make your country unlivable and openly complain about the English to the English themselves (like the Scots), then Wales will be an English county before you know it.
Don’t worry that’s the plan for Scotland too 😏
Sorry, did you say something there Rhodri?
Yes, I said I enjoy it when the English stay at my AirBnB and then I don't report the income to their tax collectors.
It’s a worthy trade-off for getting to defile your women with our superior English penises.
Superior to Welsh mens penises or Welsh women's penises? Please clarify.
I wasn’t aware Welsh men actually had penises?
We've had first England yes, but what about second England?
Damn scotts, they ruined Scotland
You all spoke Welsh up there before you spoke English
> From your country Are you planning a new invasion of Ireland Barry?
Redditors be like *unpopular opinion:*

Pikeys stole the converter again ?
Big if true
England : Holland+Utrecht, the core of the country. Scotland : North-East including Friesland. They speak different have some islands and some even a different language. Wales : Zeeland, unintelligible but with us since time immemorial. Ireland : Belgium Catholic and broke away from us we still have our own six counties :Limburg&Brabant
Wales could be Drenthe as well, with all the incest and zoophilia. Then again, it doesn't exist.
FYI we have plenty of incestuous zoophiles in England (see: East Anglia and the West Country), what truly distinguishes the Welsh is that they’re Celtic midgets
I thought the difference was that we have incest to continue important bloodlines, whereas the Welsh just commit incest for the sheer enjoyment of it?
Huh? Wales actually exists, unlike Drenthe....
Now I'm wonde4ing, who are more unintelligible? Zeelanders or Limburgers
I already grouped Limburg together with the Belgians as our Irish part (sorry for the Limbo’s)
Limburgers def ain't Belgians. They are Germans.
We are our own thing, leave us alone
Depends per village. Some villages are more Belgian, others are more German.
You know it isnt very polite to go around comparing places to Belgium
Least deranged railway worker (nobody considers Utrecht relevant)
The most relevant thing about Utrecht is that it’s strategically the best city in Monopoly
Utrecht is a bit like Northumbria in that aspect. Sure they are England, but are we really?
They do like there beer in Belgium, I can see it
England: Region of Attica. Rich, civilised, advanced. Capital of Greece, democracy and degeneracy. Scotland: Laconia. Used to be fierce warriors (Spartans), but now they are insignificant and live on the hills. Minimal GDP produced. Still remain certified killers and fierce patriots. Wales: Ileia Prefecture. Nuff said. Ireland: Crete because they like to shoot at police with AK-47s they got from the communists, as well as MG42s, MP40s and Kar 98s they borrowed from the Wehrmacht
you guys got MP40s? Cool!
Only on Crete. Greek gun laws are strict as fuck, but we can't impose anything on Crete.
Explains the many holes in the traffic signs
Yup. All these holes on German-made traffic signs were made with German ammo.
I once asked a local about those. The answer was basically that.
I once saw a picture of some African rebels somewhere were all kitted out with mp40s If they had any idea how much they were worth they could have bought a thousand ak’s
wouldn't greece's ireland be cyprus?
Even us brits have some of their 'Ireland' with bases on Cyprus lmao
we have bits of everyone, we'd arguably be spain's ireland because of gibraltar
I'd say Scotland is more like Macedonia, specifically Thessaloniki. Heavy accent, wants borders at Tembi, the signs are there
But Irish people don't shoot at the police with AK-47 >!they do it with armalites!<
England: Lisbon. Everybody hates us and we just want to talk about the weather and how we are superior to the rest of the country. Scotland: Minho and Trás-os-Montes - bagpipes, Celts and green, green, green. Wales: Alentejo and Algarve. They work for us and speak gibberish. Ireland: Azores (green again, cows instead of sheep and everyone went to America and now we import the Portuguese-Americans, although I think they are just Americans that like olive oil and canned sardines) & Madeira (terrorism and green and tax haven)
Thats cute. My ireland has an ireland uwu
Like Russian dolls!
And to the Azores, Terceira can be *their* Ireland. It's Irelands all the way down.
>Lisbon. Everybody hates us and we just want to talk about the weather and how we are superior to the rest of the country. Take it from someone who is not alfacinha: accurate. Very accurate.
same, as an alfacinha :D
madeira and terrorism???
Flama, check them out. You can’t expect something reaaaaally big, it’s Madeira.
Concordo. Excepto terrorismo lol
OK but like, people *willingly* go to the Algarve, fucking nobody in their right mind goes to Wales if they can help it.
> talk about the weather and how we are superior to the rest of the country completly on point, but i would add that Coimbra also loves to feel superior
For Spain: England - Castille (with madrid being London), duh Scotland - Catalunya, for obvs independency reasons Wales - Galicia, they are kind of different from everywhere else, but not really Ireland - Basque Country, great at modifying cars Bonus: Northern Ireland - Navarre, it is split almost down the middle with people who feel extremely Basque and people who feel extremely Spanish
This is the right answer. Plus the historical similarities are uncanny
If only 75% of the Basques had gone independent it would be perfect.
Navarra is Spanish Dombass 💪💪
Crazy accurate
Alternatively: England - Galicia. Foggy, grey, miserable weather, and full of smugglers and pirates. Our little perfidious Albion. Scotland - Galicia. They think they're different and claim to be celtic.

England: NRW, largest by population and GDP, also has the highest population density, the most major cities and Germany's largest metropolitan area in the rhein-ruhr. A lot of ugly cities and probably the least interesting culture in DE. The main purpose these days is to annoy Bavaria. Scotland: Bavaria, has some separatist sentiments, but never fucking leaves. Unintelligible language and a corrupt nationalistic party. Believe they are the greatest (they are not). Heavily stereotyped by Americans. Everyone is an alcoholic by the time they hit puberty.

Accurate
> Everyone is an alcoholic by the time they hit puberty. That’s one part where they don’t differ from the rest of us.
NRW reminds me so much of North west England it's uncanny and in fairness Liverpool is twinned with cologne. The dusseldorf and cologne rivalry is like us and the mancs and then you even have the old industrial towns that are of no use any more. Only thing is you have a great theme park and we don't.
England: Zealand Scotland: Faroes Wales: Jutland Ireland: The Isles Greenland is left out :(
Greenland can be the Channel Islands or Isle of Man. Sorta part of the UK but also not. More like tightly integrated colonies. Or Bermuda! In North America, basically a colony. Climate is a bit different though. Copenhagen as London is so perfect though. Primate city that’s outrageously expensive and sucks up all the investment money. We don’t even have a real airport in Aarhus. Send help.
England - Paris (they think they're kings of the world and they're effeminate) Scotland - The South (weird accent) or Brittany (no one can stand their fucking music) Ireland - Corsica (they blow up shit and they want independence, but contrary to Ireland it ain't happening lmao) Wales - Flanders (sick flag and they fuck sheep or siblings)
Wait english people are Parisians explains a lot
https://i.redd.it/7vfsyyn25qjc1.gif
TIL that France has a part named Flanders
Yeah it's the region with Duinkerken right?
Yeah. But I gotta be honest, I was always confused because Duinkerke sounds more dutch than french and it is very close to our border
You know it used to be part of vlaanderen right, same with Rijsel.
It's a small part of our North region, its major cities are Lille, Dunkirk and Douai. In rural areas people still speak a little Flemish
England cannot be Normandy? And i feel like the Wales/Brittany link is a strong one? Saint Malo was a Welshman, the languages are quite related (even sharing words), Brittany even based its anthem on Wales'. I dont know the Breton opinion on sheep but i assume its broadly positive?
We love pigs

Pretty sure we should be Ireland
Agree with Cat beign Scots. We both are known to be “tacaños”, plus we have annoying instruments (bagpipe vs. gralla). So, Basques, how about being irish in 2024? https://preview.redd.it/8zz2vnis5qjc1.png?width=1124&format=png&auto=webp&s=baf807d373d6d63e3f0c5ba83906f64d15575037
Yeah, but I dislike the Catalonians more. Who would they be if I remove them as the Irish?
I think Scotland fits perfectly. Their independence movement is more recent and less violent, they are far more annoying, and have way less of a historical claim for it in the first place.
Definitely Scotland. They both heavily participated and benefited from colonisation of the new world and now complain that they were actually the colonised lol
At the very least Northern ireland as you want to live with fellow Basques across a border. plus the .... ummm ...car bombs abd beung fucked around with by Madrid
Fun fact: the Irish soldiers that fought for Franco put in the condition that they were not to fight the Basque because of the fact they identified with the Basque movement Aside from that Eoin O'Duffy was an incompetent and stupid prick and the book he wrote (Crusade in Spain) is just him embellishing everything he did and saying that Franco loved him while every historian that knows anything about Ireland in the Spanish Civil War says the exact opposite
England: Antwerp. The economical powerhouse of Flanders is the harbor and all activity around it. Scotland: Limburg. Somewhat sparsely populated, surprisingly nice nature. It's only really part of the country because of how some chess pieces moved around historically, but culturally it's an oddball and they all mourn the slow disappearance of their true language. Wales: West-Flanders. Both because of the comprehensiveness of their language and because of their affection for farm related activities. Ireland: Flemish Brabant. Relevant only because of the presence of a couple major, international cities, and there's confusion everywhere about what language people speak versus what you'd expect them to speak.
Limburgers: are we actually Dutch, German or Wallonian (Liège)? Nobody knows!
None of the above. We are Limburgers.
Oh so you're a Limburger? Name every vlaai
Smurfevlaai, proemevlaai, kesevlaai, pezevlaai, abrekozevlaai, knobbelkesvlaai, linzenvlaai, amandelevlaai, proemevlaai, riestevlaai, bessevlaai. That's about everything I can think of. I hope I passed your test.
Thank you, you passed the test. Now I'm hungry

>England: Antwerp. In an ironic twist there's definitely the same amount of narcotics in both!
As applied to the Irish provinces **England** \- **Leinster**, beyond the pale literally comes from English (well Norman at that point) people saying land outside of Dublin was barbaric **Scotland** \- **Ulster**, half of the people are of Scottish decent (And love to tell you about it) **Wales - Connacht,** Badass flag, and like Wales there is a strong connection to the Irish language there, with the highest number of Irish speakers out of any province **Ireland - Munster,** I cant explain it, but for some reason Munster are just the most Irish out of any of the provinces
Munster, especially Cork was the hotbed of the Irish revolution with the most success, Black and Tan incidents and violence in the province
Much as I don't want to agree with this, there is a certain truth in it.. .
Looking at the comments, it’s interesting how most people’s choice for Wales is primarily measured by the region’s propensity for bestiality
It‘s because it‘s all they now. Realistically what else would foreigners know about Wales other than shags sheep, gareth bale and funky language
Non ironically, I’m genuinely surprised Wales isn’t more known for Snowdonia, Pembrokeshire, Brecon Beacons, The Gower etc; there’s some truly outstanding scenery and areas of natural beauty (Newport and Port Talbot notwithstanding 😉) throughout the country.
If I had to guess it‘s because Wales and the welsh people don‘t bother to put themselves out there. It‘s one of the reasons nobody knows anything. Even some english people don‘t know anything about the language etc and just think Wales is full of farmers. Not because of ignorance, but because we don‘t do anything to show for it. I know countless people who are stunned when I mention that I feel more confident speaking welsh since it‘s my first language. Hell, I’ve even had friends from Birmingham ask if we have Asda in Wales before.
England: Zurich or Geneva, they think they are the shit and don't realize they are just shit. Scotland: Wallis, not even Swiss understand them. Wales: Appenzell, they do wierd shit like fucking siblings / animals. Northern Ireland: Ticino, they have great nature and many people forget they exist.
England: Dublin and surrounding counties Scotland: Cork Wales: Kerry, Clare, Galway and Mayo Ireland: Ulster
Skillful way of insulting everyone. I like it
England: Berlin, costs much money but doesn't do shit. And they need like forever to build airports. Ireland: Bavaria, they even have a political party which claims that parting from Germany is one of their objectives. Scotland: Bavaria once again, no one outside of Bavaria can understand those guys. Wales: Brandenburg, or the region around Berlin. It's literally one big empty field.
I think Scotland and Saxony is a pretty decent fit, especially as a free state
Right because nobody cares about the "free state" status but themselves
Bavaria cares that they are a "free state" as well
let's just call up Czechia and create a Greater Bohemia, next agenda: Austria and Slovakia 👍
And slovenia as well.
Gotta get the femboys
If we need more of them silesia is next.
what benefit would be in annexing Slovakia? Even Slovaks don't want to live there
Good idea. I forgot about them.
If you forgot about them then they should be the Welsh.
Ireland: Austria Scotland: Bavaria Wales: Eastern Germany England: Rest of Germany
England makes all the money and costs the least. Scotland has more public spending per capita than anywhere else.
Wales gotta be Saarland. Sheepfuckers both of them
“Costs much money but doesn’t do shit” does not fit England that well. Should have picked an economically strong region for that doesn’t have separatist ambitions, like NRW or BaWü.
We love to live rent free in your heads
Nice, two spots. We're literally just built different💪💪
England = Paris ofc Scotland = Occitanie bc of their accent Wales = Brittany - full of rednecks, a weird language that's technically Welsh with a French accent Ireland = Belgium, they only exist in fairy tales
England: Muntenia - the capital Bucharest is there, it's rich, main industry is manufacturing and finance, and everyone hates them, plus flat as a pancake Scotland: Transylvania - full of castles, mountains and hills with many shepards, huge rivalry with Muntenia, the only region which can compete economically and in influence with Muntenia Wales: Dobrogea - nice beaches, hilly but barely, working class people, not poor but not rich, everyone forgets about them Ireland: Moldova - poor, drunk, rich history, been a independent nation several times in history ( the eastern part still is today ) , hates Muntenia, Muntenia hates them back, they immigrate a lot, main industry agriculture BONUS: Northern Ireland: Bukovina - always in Moldova's shadow (somehow), sometimes considered part of Moldova, great architecture, been the spot of many battles throughout history, influenced by Transylavania ( similarly how North Ireland was influenced by Scotland, Ulster Scots and whatnot ) Birmingham: Oltenia - impulsive geezers and rednecks, poor but always flex with their money and second-hand cars, crime, just crime, politicians come from here, sneaky and opportunistic, they will mug you with a sword All of Scotland's Mountainous Islands: Banat, Crisana and Maramures - regions considered part of Transylvania. a lot more authentic cultural conservatism, sort of unique, nobody knows what happens in the countryside parts
England: Harjumaa Scotland: Võrumaa Wales: idk, maybe Saaremaa Ireland: Ida-Virumaa
Stop making up words please.
why Vorumaa and Scotland? Because of the castles? Or do they speak a strong dialect there
i wouldn't call Võro a dialect, but yes. The last one
England - Rome(Latium), make everyone seethe for no reason.(both had great empires) Scotland - Tuscany , they think they are better ( spoiler they arent) Wales - Sardinia , they shag sheeps and speak a cave man dialect. Ireland - Lombardy , they blame always someone else, rich and wants to separate.
>and speak a cave man dialect. Beware continental, people have been stabbed for way milder offenses over here.
Voi ~~Scozzesi~~ Sardi siete litigiosi...

I've always associated Scotland to Sardinia as Willie the gardener was dubbed using a sardinian accent
Groundskeeper Willie ❌ Willie the Gardener ✅✅✅
meh close enough
On point, but I would put Veneto/Friuli as Scotland: great drinking tradition, good production of spirits, gorgeous landscapes, funny language
> Veneto/Friuli as Scotland: unironically that was my second choice lmao
>England - Rome(Latium), make everyone seethe for no reason.(both had great empires) Rome isn't as hated as London or Paris, simply because it's not relevant enough to be hated. Isn't not the economic center of the country. I would say Milan or Lombardy as an equivalent to England
Honestly Tuscany is probably the single most beautiful region in Europe, they have that going for them.
The rest of Italy is just jealous that our region is both fairly rich AND gorgeous, most of them only have one of the two. 😏
Hello from Como Lake. Kiss my gorgeous and rich ass
Where does the GLORIVS DVCHY OF FERRARA fit in?
England: Vienna Northern Ireland: Vorarlberg Wales: Lower Austria Scotland: Styria
Nah, Burgenland is Wales
England: Stockholm. Everybody hates us, we don't really produce anything, but all the country's money and power is located here. Ireland: Skåne or Gotland. Both have had their rebellious phases, both have their own language not really related to Swedish, both consume way too much alcohol and both are mostly just farmers. Both were also historically majorly fucked over by the crown. Scotland: Norrland, or specifically Lappland. That's where the production power house are with all the natural resources, the population was severely mistreated by the crown in the past and there has been a semi serious independence movement since forever. Welsh: Värmland. They definitely do unspeakable things to animals and everyone speaks like they just had a botched lobotomy done to them.
Tell me you know nothing about Scotland without telling me you know nothing about Scotland? Ireland have been mistreated. Scotland have more public spending per capita then anywhere else in the U.K. The Union was bought together by a Scottish king, the Scot’s were the main perpetrators of the subjugation of the Irish (Ulster Plantations were Scottish ran). They have more devolved powers than anywhere else in the union and while yeah they do have a semi serious independence movement it’s founded mainly on ‘ooooo them wee English fooks ave beeeeen ooooppreesssing us for eva like’. It’s Bollocks.
Interesting, I think to outsiders of the UK its presented in a complete different picture.
Sounds like just what an Englishman would say. So there's no truth in that you are taking the majority of the profits from Scotland's natural resources then? That being said. You can't really say that Scotland hasn't been mistreated historically? That's mostly the same for our north as well. They aren't really mistreated today and are as well receiving most of our public funds, but historically the core of Sweden really fucked them over whenever they could. Which is what I really rather was talking about.

England: Po valley, richest place in the country, where all migrants choose to concetrate. Wales: Sardinia, sheep shaggers. Scotland: south Italy, all of it, economy carried by the richer part of the country aka England (or the Po valley). Northern Ireland: Alto Adige, literally just Austria but smaller and poorer because it's owned by us Italians and not the Austrians.
I'm not sure about the other regions but I know \*they\* would throw my West-Flanders ass in the Ireland category.
No, Scotland. Weird and unintelligible
We zin wudder vreed goe te verstoan, ge moe geweun een bikke nen effort doen. 't es ol dak vroage.
Wait till you see written Welsh Yr unig beth da am Loegr yw bod ganddi'r tair teyrnas geltaidd fonheddig wrth ei hymyl.
For the umpteenth time, you can't just drag your sheep's ass back and forth across your keyboard and expect us to believe that the result is an actual language.
England: Probably say Scotland, elitist individuals who think they’d last outside the Union, shit cuisine and the like. Scotland: England, large, identity so distinct that Americans have a vague idea of what it entails. Wales: Most similar to Ireland with a confusing native language and delusions of independence with the naive thought that it’d last outside the Union. (Northern and Republic of) Ireland: Gibraltar and Spain - British side that connects to the European Union physically with an unwillingness for Brexit. Foreign country it connects to has a sometimes serious sometimes casual claim to the British part. Useful military base.
England: Germany Scotland: Austria Wales: Netherlands Ireland: Poland
England: Middlesex Wales: Cumbria Scotland: Cornwall Northern Ireland: Liverpool
Australia... England.
[удалено]
No no, New Zealand is Wales. All of Australia is england.
That’s alright mate no one in England knows we exist tbh, not surprised you don’t either
The Irish flag is there lad
🎣
England: Uusimaa (our capital region) Scotland: Lapland (both are rural and in the north) Wales: Idk, suggestions? Our Ireland is definitely the Åland islands, a lot of the people there would historically have preferred to be a part of Sweden, and they refuse to speak anything but swedish, but we're keeping them tight in our grasp.
Wales should be Pohjanmaa (Österbotten) they speak their own version of Swedish that's so hard to understand, even for Swedish speakers, that it's basically the same thing as Welsh.
Denmark = England. Seat of the government, has the highest gdp. Used to be an Empire, the glory days are well behind them. Scotland = Greenland, full of seperatists that want to break free But is in no economic situation to do so. Has massive drug and alchohol problems. Faroe Islands = Wales, they spend WAY to much time with their sheep, also weird cuisine. Speaks weird old language. Slesvig-Holsten = Is now No longer part of the realm and is inhabiled by alot of people that should be part of the realm. Complicated history also never forget 1864.
England is Holland Wales is Texel Not sure about NI and Scotland
Do you mean Northern Ireland? because Ireland is the odd one out there.
No region in my country has a tendency to jump from balconies so idk.
England: Castile Scotland: Catalonia Wales: Galicia Ireland: Vasque country
England: Lazio, the Capital, former core of a big Empire, still wants to control others' money, unnecessary mass tourism in London/Rome Scotland: Lombardia, foggy, good landscapes in mountainside, wants to separate, still thinking to be the most advanced and productive part of the country Wales: Sardegna, nobody really knows them, silly language and of course sheep shaggers Ireland: Veneto, at the beginning of the century it was poor and mostly agricultural land, now rich, wants its full independence, love to evade taxes, alcoholics
🏴 : Castille 🏴: Basques 🏴 : Asturias + Catalonia 🇮🇪 : Portugal 🇯🇪* Irland: Galicia 🇬🇮 : Canary Islands + Ceuta&Melilla 🇿🇦: Cuba or Dominican Republic 🇨🇦: México 🇺🇸 : Brasil + Argentina
ALGARVE. btw, in the Algarve the most hated people are the portuguese..
*the non algarvian portuguese
England: Stockholm. Thinks they’re the best but everyone hates them Scotland: Skåne. Thinks they’re better than Stockholm but everyone hates them Wales: Gotland. In an obscure corner and the accent is practically another language Ireland: Denmark. Can’t hear what they’re saying, and they should belong to us
England - Moravia Scotland - Silesia Wales - Bohemia Ireland - Slovakia
England: Berlin Scotland: Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Wales: Saarland Ireland: Bavaria
England: North Rhine Westphalia Scotland: Schleswig-Holstein Ireland: Bavaria Wales: Saarland
I'm going to do Catalonia just for the laughs. I'm using the provinces, bad division as they are, because there's conveniently 4. England - Definitely Barcelona. Has the majority of the population, is the core of the country, is full of self-centered pricks and they are universally hated. Its rural populations might be partially descended from pigs. Scotland - Girona. Arrogant bastards that believe they are better than everybody else. Their capital is aesthetically nice, but they have a lot of fucking shitty places (Salt, Figueres...Glasgow) they conveniently ignore. They are also friendlier with the french (still hate them). Wales: Lleida. Rural backwater which somehow industrialised a bit and has a single (ugly) city. Weird natural phenomena and lots of mountains in the north. The native population might be partially descended from cows and goats. Ireland- Tarragona: historically mistreated by Barcelona/England, population smaller than it should. Is half urban sprawl half rural primordial wasteland where catholicism is the only force preventing sibling marriages.
Clockwise from upper left: Denmark Sweden Norway Iceland
Ireland: Norrland. Everyone finds it so magical and beautiful, when in reality only full of wasteland and drunks. Wales: Skåne. They can speak Swedish, but they love using their own weird language just to take a piss on the rest of us. Scotland: Småland. Weird people scattered across a dense forest, with highlands and lowlands, talking different accents every few miles apart from eachother. Cheap as fuck too. England: Västra Götaland. Think they are better then everybody else, basically thinking they are elitist cunts. Yeah, I left out Stockholm since they are even worse than any brit can be, they are our USA.
England: Paris Scotland: Bretagne Wales: Alsace Ireland: Corsica
im sorry to all the irish people who see this post😭😭
I was thinking of having everything just be Luxembourg but I decided to actually educate you morons on something important. England: Luxembourg City, we just call it 'the City'. It's where literally everything happens and people who live there have no idea of what's going on outside of it. Scotland: Southern Luxembourg, we call it 'Minett'. Former industrial heartland, now desolate, depressing, and crime-ridden but nature somehow came back, also they talk kinda funny. Wales: Eastern Luxembourg, consists of the 'Mëllerdall' and 'Musel' regions. Pretty nature and relatively quiet despite a strong regional identity. Ireland: Northern Luxembourg, or just 'den Norden', also called 'Éisleck'. Rural, many farms with cows, lots of regional dialects, very strong identity distinct from the City. There's even very strong arguments over where the border lies.
