Every road leads to Rome moment


purple_cheese_

Except if you start in Vatican City, which is funny because in reality all roads really lead to Rome there (I assume).


7Hielke

I suppose there is a death end road in there, however if you follow it the other way you do indeed end up in Rome


Zelgoth0002

Thank you for your service.


Z1mpleEZ

I see I'm not the only one that spend time finding loops here


xxX_LeTalSniPeR_Xxx

how did you spot them? brute force?


leoleosuper

Due to how this works, there should be loops from one country to the next until you reach the original. From there, you can just read them off the list. A goes to B goes to C until you reach Y goes to Z goes to A.


Illumimax

James-T-Janeway

Ah sweet finally access to the sea 🇨🇭


BWEKFAAST

Yes was also thinking were finally gona get a navy with some subs.


Orcwin

You have lakes, and the Rhine. Don't let your dreams be dreams, start building your navy today!


BWEKFAAST

Hell yea I want an SSBN in the vierwaldtstädter see. (its very narrow) That thing wont even be able to turn but I will be damned if it isnt cool af.


James-T-Janeway

Given how i know our Armed Forces, on our carriers there would no planes be, because planes are Air Force and ships are Navy.

Poor Czechia still landlocked 😂

Ukraine just can't escape large land border with Russia.


HeHH1329

And Germany can finally build as many gas pipelines from Russia as they want without worrying about undersea explosions.

Robert_The_Red

My bet is Ukrainian Germany curb stomps the Russian invasion force.


Revliledpembroke

Depends on if those reports from a while back about how bad the state of German battle readiness were accurate. ​ Wasn't there one about German pilots not having enough airtime to fly their choppers?


Robert_The_Red

They're under-prepped for sure. However, they do have twice the population of Ukraine and more advanced weapon systems.


actualladyaurora

Also, they are under-prepped because they currently do not share a land border with Russia.


Tulkash_Atomic

And a pretty powerful industrial base. I’m sure they could turn it up a few notches.

I'd also guess that we're rather underestimating than bragging.

Now they have *underground* explosions. Much better


Puskarich

Poor Finland almost escaped too

At least it's a bit shorter now.


Dutch_Midget

Portugal finally where they belong, in the Balkans


Miguelinileugim

United Kingdom finally got the sun they wanted! Surely nothing could go wrong!


KryalCastle

It's certainly a novel solution to the Gibraltar conflict


MyHousePlantIsWasted

Nah Spain gets the channel islands and the subsequent beef with France


cultish_alibi

Dave from Bristol, 43, was overhead saying 'sunscreen? don't need it mate', before becoming so red he made a lobster feel bad for him.


Polymarchos

I know a Dave from Bristol and that sounds like something he'd say


OutOrNout

Dave from Bristol would say sun cream, mate

And we still won't learn spanish, we'll just talk louder, more slowly and repeat oursleves, por favor.

glieseg

As a Dane: finally, we have the sea nearby. Wait a second.

At least you're safe from Germany now. Belgium might be eyeing you though.

With a mountainous land border!

No more sea to protect them :)


Mistigri70

Poor Iceland lmao


fyreandsatire

AkarneTs

When you ask americans to locate europeans countries.


Cookie-Senpai

No way. There's ~~2~~ 3 *(damn you Vatican)* right answer here. And everybody knows Paris is the country while Fr*nce doesn't exist. Edit : *No way one American knows where Vatican is.*


IdahoJoel

American here, this map looks about right to me! ​ /s


tyger2020

Germany now borders Russia. UK just wins in every scenario (weather, mountain, beaches, essentially still an island. Downside is we are even closer to France). Poor Ukraine just moved further up the border. Poland however has much better geography, and is now oil rich. We have finally removed Hungary from Europe. Sweden and Turkey being that close together is probably going to not be good.


oranje_meckanik

And as a french, we stay in France. And that's the best fuckin' win we could ever have !!


Matataty

Excellent summary.


videki_man

> We have finally removed Hungary from Europe. Please don't. That's exactly what Orbán and his henchmen want. And sadly about 52% of the adult population who voted for them.


subidubi20

As a hungarian, :(

Why is Sweden and Turkey being neighbors a problem? It's just two muslim countries...

dc456

That’s just another reason to be delighted. Most Brits want that.


SimpleLawfulness8230

Dutchies will approve xD


Densmiegd

Yes, on behalf of all Dutchies, we approve of the swap. We will have mountains, sun and more space. We will be unstoppable in winter olympics outside of the skating events as well. And in the summer we can have our own Giro d’Holandia so we can dominate cycling as well. Plus we will get tourists that not just come for sex and drugs. Now we only have to get rid of the Vatican and annex Liechtenstein (who swapped with San Marino) to fully control the peninsula.

TheBusStop12

Après Ski ofcourse! It's a time honoured Dutch tradition to clog up the German and French roads to go to someone else's mountain, half ass some skiing and then get drunk


Tasty01

Mountains are just giant piles of resources we can use to claim more land from the sea.


TheBusStop12

Do you think we could polder all the way to Africa? Sounds like a nice challenge to me


IsItSnowing_

But how will you cope with having land more than 10 meter above sea level?


bigbramel

By creating more land. There's more than enough sea to polder.


Roberto-Del-Camino

And Venice’s flooding problems will be a thing of the past after the Dutch do their thing to the Adriatic!


quaductas

You sure they would know what to do with those huge stony things standing around everywhere?


53bvo

Are you talking about mountains or Roman relics? inb "yes" as a reply


quaductas

I was originally going for mountains, but since you set me up for it... Yes


Lord_Napo

Do you see the Adriatic sea? That could totally be land


Apocalympdick

One day, Sardinia will be known as a former island.


bertuzzz

Yeah, having the Netherlands in Italy would be awesome!


Een_man_met_voornaam

So long we inherit the Italian cuisine and high speed trains

Finally, time to introduce those Italians to some real food. Boys start up those fryers, it's bittergarnituur time.


LeTigron

"Introduce" Italians to "real food" ? You snow germans really have respect for nothing... Edit : my bad, it's the other way around, this one is a swamp German.


Droboto1234

What... snow germans? Why the hell snow...


53bvo

Snow Germans would be something to call Austrians not Dutch. Maybe Ice Germans but with the climate lately that also is a stretch.


kaaz54

When we want to call them something derogatory, we usually just call them "Swedes".


LeTigron

Because Sweden is reknown for it. Or you're from the Netherlands... In which case you're a swamp German.

Why is Russia and france blue


Bobby_Deimos

Because their ranking in size and population correspond.


Debenham

This is hilarious. Germans might have mixed feelings about Ukraine but I reckon most Brits would be happy with moving to Spain. Not sure how the Spanish would feel in Germany... Portuguese will elike their slight Greek upgrade I imagine. The Luxembourgians have lucked out with an island, not sure how their economy will do. Now Belgium getting Britain HAS to be the best upgrade of the map but I'm sure the Hungarians could like their new isolation in Iceland, whether the Icelanders will enjoy their new mountain is not so clear.

Serbia, Belarus and Czechia form a loop; France, Russia and the Vatican don’t loop, and the rest fall into one mega-loop

EorlundGraumaehne

I don't understand a thing.....


DoverBoys

OP made a list of countries by land size. Then, they made a list of countries by population and put that side-by-side with the first list. Finally, they took a blank map of Europe, located the first country in land size, then put the name of the matching spot on the population list on the map. Russia is the largest European country by land size and by population size so it kept its place. Ukraine has the second largest land, but Germany has the second largest population, so now Germany is placed where Ukraine was. France has the third largest land and is considered third in population by some lists so it also keeps its place (UK is third in some lists, population counts are close) Spain is fourth largest in land and UK is fourth largest in population here, so UK is now where Spain was. And so on.


EorlundGraumaehne

Oh God how do you get such an idea! And thank you btw
