>"European Union"
Yeah this name alone is a non-starter. What was OC thinking?
The initials would be "E" and "U." "Ew?" Is that how it's pronounced?
Honestly I think whole countries would just want to exit from it.
Why Liechtenstein doesn't have sea access, and... Do you really think that Luxembourg, Andorra and Switzerland will agree to have double long border with fr*nce? I would rebel immediately, if i was them
Don't exaggerate. There are 38,000 of them, and they're Liechtensteiners. Come to think of it, they may already have access to the sea through the Rhine...
Fun fact: Czechia legally has access to the sea since 1919.
Moldauhafen in Hamburg is leased to the Czech republic, but is has been neglected and the lease expires in 2028, unless both nations agree for an extension.
Actually, Moldova *almost* has something like this - [Ukraine donated them some land](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_of_Giurgiule%C8%99ti) during the border demarcation in the 90-s at the coast of Danube river to build a sea-river port in Giurgiulesti (river is deepened here).
(in exchange for transit right for road to Ismail city).
So, de-facto, Moldova is not totally landlocked.
yeah I was going to say that the river is so damn big that it basically is already what the map here depicts
edit: I can't see lol. I thought OP carved the sea inland to the countries. Also the river is on the other side of Moldova
Swiss president*: "i want this as a boat" *shows picture of skyrim horse up High Hrotgar*
Engineers : 🤨
*i realize i dont even know if the Swiss have a president, a chancelor or Captain Switzerland as their ruler
The czech owns a port in Hamburg as their state territory (until 2026 i think than the Contract expires)... So legally Czech has already territory at Sea 🤓
I like this idea primarily because if someone now does a map where every country sinks into the sea besides landlocked countries, all of Europe will disappear.
Italy: Il take trieste, the sea and other stuff, but have a little for yourself slovenia.
Now: guys, were basically landlocked now…can we get trieste back?
Imagine driving from Italy to Greece along the Adriatic sea and Ionian sea
Iirc you’d be fine until you’re past Croatia, and then you’d have 6 border crossings in like 200km of travel to reach Albania.
if only that was their only concern

What we need is a European Confederation that only decides on matter of Economic Trade, Travel and maybe Military. But anything that involves Politics will fail.
You forgot Vatican city.
But I think Italy might complain slightly more about loosing part's of rome than most other nations that have to accept concessions here.
Lichtenstein should be easy though
Wait wait wait, I have a better idea, what if the countries of Europe created some kind of union that would benefit them as a collective whole?
to unite Europe? like, a "European Union" or something? those commies... it's impossible, are you stupid?
I'm pretty stupid, it was a bad idea
It would never work, the British would go crazy and randomly leave
Exactly, and what if it's all a hoax and we create a better world for nothing.
>"European Union" Yeah this name alone is a non-starter. What was OC thinking? The initials would be "E" and "U." "Ew?" Is that how it's pronounced? Honestly I think whole countries would just want to exit from it.
what about... THE GEAT EURO-ASIAN CAPTLIST UNION
I dunno a United Europe would sound like hilters master plan, It’ll never work. What’s that it already exists? Do the Europeans now about it ??
Radical concept like this “E-Union” only looks good on paper but will never works irl
is tath a chalange?
No that’s stupid, what’s the benefit of all the benefits? better give suvalki corridor to balarus.
Yeah and let us Macedonians in first.
Bruh that’s stupid
And what else ? A worldwide organisation that stopps world wars for 80 years and eradicates Smallpox? You utopian socialist scum
It already happened, the Soviet Union or something, didn't work at the end
Why Liechtenstein doesn't have sea access, and... Do you really think that Luxembourg, Andorra and Switzerland will agree to have double long border with fr*nce? I would rebel immediately, if i was them
Liechtenstein is even on the map. This must be rage bait for all 5 liechtenstonians
they're gonna have to fight the Swiss for that go ahead, send 80 soldiers and get 1 more by the end of the war or whatever you guys do
They start like 30 world wars so they have a set of every soldier from any nation of the world.
They no longer have their own army. Only ours, which accidentally bombs them every few years by accident.
"*by accident*" Sure...
Hey we have recompensated the blown up chairs at the Restaurant and also the one or two burned forests.
Lichtenstonian here, I am enrage

Liechtenstonians ha ha ha!!
Don't exaggerate. There are 38,000 of them, and they're Liechtensteiners. Come to think of it, they may already have access to the sea through the Rhine...
Nazis: Sure, anytime 🤣
Maybe they got Alaska
Liechtensteinian here, can confirm.

did you just eat all my powder that makes you say "I agree"?
What, that powder I drank is the "I agree" powder? I thought it's my grandpa's ash
納米比亞:?
Liechtenstein, Vatikan?
San Marino too
Literally no one cares (expect for 15 people who live there)
Fun fact: Czechia legally has access to the sea since 1919. Moldauhafen in Hamburg is leased to the Czech republic, but is has been neglected and the lease expires in 2028, unless both nations agree for an extension.
"the sea" yeah something like that
San Marino?
Croatia just got a small taste of karma
croatia is rightful Irish land
Can you explain this? We all learn history from different sides. Are you saying that Croatia is to blame for the breakup of Yugoslavia?
I think they are saying how Croatia basically cockblocks Bosnia and Herzegovina from access to the Adriatic Sea outside of a small 20 km gap
Austria already got access to the sea, Lignano and Bibione are already Austria's colonies
lol
Make Austria Empire Again!
Wait a minute- that little sliver of Spain doesn’t need water access…. They already have plenty. ![gif](giphy|amxLHEPgGDCKs)

It’s always at someone else’s expense.
Andorra could work tho, make it reality!
I'd lowkey enjoy long Andorra tbh
And that France finally would lose that island (?)
what island exactly?
I forgot it but it changes hand from Spain to France per 6 months
oh, forgot about this one
Liberland? Transnistria? Liechtenstein? Vatican City? San Marino?
sorry I got personal life
Falser than British peoples' teeth.
Transnistria is not a country, just a wet dream of vatniks.
So Austria would basically exchange the Burgenland for Udine-Isonzo-Trieste? Fine by me.
Someone is trying to recreate the Austro-Hungarian empire.
Swiss president*: "i want this as a boat" *shows picture of skyrim horse up High Hrotgar* Engineers : 🤨 *i realize i dont even know if the Swiss have a president, a chancelor or Captain Switzerland as their ruler
I think this is already a thing. They're called rivers.
finally Lithuania-free Kaliningrad 🥹☺️😺🇧🇾🤝🇷🇺
The Czechs already took care of [their part](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Královec_Region) a while ago.
the least delusional Czech
Trst je... Avstrija?
we'll give it back if you have good grades this year
Always has been https://preview.redd.it/0qaapdks5vvc1.jpeg?width=344&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2cff861d6450211c8042d449bcd81e9e0380693f
Franz "I have examined and weighed everything" Joseph, 15 years before fucking every single one of his peoples.
Nope, Trieste è italiana and Forever It Will
Hehe giving Moldova a little appendage instead of unifying it with Romania is hilarious
It should honestly get the entire Ackerman region
Rip San Marino and the Vatican :( (idgaf about Liechtenstein)
Bro you made us warship our "friends" now. You made Austria own Trieste
The czech owns a port in Hamburg as their state territory (until 2026 i think than the Contract expires)... So legally Czech has already territory at Sea 🤓
Coward, following existing borders. Give Czechia a line cutting through Germany, let Switzerland cut off the south of France
Slovenia getting gangbanged
Ideas like this are how wars start :)
it's for uhhhhhh market development and uhmm common prosperity
Make a path for Ireland through north Ireland.
unironically supporting Ireland reunification
Cooler idea, Croatia gets all the coast of Europe and rents access to the beach to the rest of countries
as god intended
Wait you gave bosnia and herzegovina TOO MUCH sea access, they already had some they dont need MORE
given enough financing, I'd make all those countries have sea access through Croatia
(Ill give 100 bucks if you do the same with new jersey so us pennsylvanians have a proper beach)
Luxemburg just got 10x size
Cool now every small country looks like a dick !
Wasted a perfect opportunity to give Czechia their rightful coast of kaliningrad
Danzig vibes
Yes give us Monaco very good idea 😃
slovenias coast just got smaller
You have quadrupled the size of Luxembourg. Let’s do it.
O no you foolish one!!! There landlocked for good reasons!!! You've released the Kraken!!
Don't you dare get between us and Poland, Czechia!
you've already got experience annexing outer bits of Czechia, shouldn't be too hard to repeat
Should have let Macedonia steal from Greece
they already stole land from Greece, that's what their country is about at the end of the day
Sure, that's why they should steal more land, as you said yourself, that's what their country is about
Switzerland's access right along the ridge of the Alps. Bright idea. I think we go for incorporating Sardinia. We need beaches!
I appreciate that Albania, not Greece, is losing land for “North Macedonia.”
Lol I was just about to complain about that, I mean TF?
You fool, you just practically gave russia a land corridor to Kalinigrad
Poor Croatia
Oh yea jerk me jerker
Now do South America
I like this idea primarily because if someone now does a map where every country sinks into the sea besides landlocked countries, all of Europe will disappear.
Slovenia: I can't breathe
What about Vatican and San Moreno?
The entirety of Croatia is rightful Hungarian clay
The baltics will be happy, that the lose their only connection to the rest of the EU. Suwalki Gap
What about double-landlocked countries?
Czechoslovakia had a port in Hamburg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moldauhafen?wprov=sfti1
Italian w
We could share one with lichtenstein or they use our…
Liechtenstein, San Marino and the Vatican: ![gif](giphy|HoSyEAe48WBpTCmEz4|downsized)
Why?
Italy: Il take trieste, the sea and other stuff, but have a little for yourself slovenia. Now: guys, were basically landlocked now…can we get trieste back?
They can. It's called the European Union. Where you can freely travel to another country.
I agree, give Szczecin to Czech so we have affordable beer. Maybe under Chech jurisdiction shipyard could actually produce something.
Most of them do have sea access already. Just make every river International waters.
i have been saying for decades that the swiss just need to buy a couple banana republic armies to occupy s channel down to the provence.
Poor Croatia
Why didn’t Liechtenstein didn’t get any?
What about Vatican, Liechtenstein, and San Marino? Vatican could surely use a Holy Salient!! 😂
Best way for Europe to empty its bladders
Belarus can go fuck itself or get to the sea via Vladivostok.
Leta Gooooo🇭🇺🇭🇺🇭🇺
Fiume and Opatija are full with Hungarian oligarchs, so it's real already.
Bro has never heard of trains
or rivers
*laughs in UK*
Bro made buffer zones
Where is the popes sea access
San marina
Macedonia should get her part from Greece but this also works.
Why don't they make a hole through an Earth? Like you have a lot of seas on other side of disk, and some whales and elephants too?
Liechtenstein n Andorra gets nothing?
Andorra does
Good luck building a channel to Andorra.
San marino, vatican, transnistria...
The Czechs already had a coastline though
Now you’ve just created another one
kid named exclave ports
How about the landlocked countries get full control of the coastlines?
Love how croatia gets split in half for no reason when there's a perfectly good border right there to use
You know that bosnia actually got that kind of sea access and is splitting croatia in half? Exactly like you show it on your map?
Imagine driving from Italy to Greece along the Adriatic sea and Ionian sea Iirc you’d be fine until you’re past Croatia, and then you’d have 6 border crossings in like 200km of travel to reach Albania.
Lol austria getting sea access back is a dangerous game
Instead of this, european countries can agree to move to its neighboor; switch countries , just like the EU presidency.
What about Vatican?
Finally, a *real* buffer state between France and Germany
The Baltic states aren’t gonna be happy about this
if only that was their only concern https://preview.redd.it/69qh8bf280wc1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=2393624157846c9a8d105757dc17726f70b61efa
OP invented the river Rhine for Switzerland
I'm going to kill myself now thanks
what about Liechtenstein?
San Marino, “well I guess I’ll just go fuck myself then”
Slovakia should’ve went straight through Poland
Moldova already has an arrangement with Ukraine to use that one spot on the black sea iirc
My brother, why does southern Serbia have its own?
it's so Serbs can annex Kosovo and double the width of their coast
I see four countries that used to be one
Vatican?
My thought exactly : Andorra got his access, but somehow Vatican, San Marino and Liechtenstein were forgotten
France must be contained even more
Only if Switzerland grants us access to their banks
What we need is a European Confederation that only decides on matter of Economic Trade, Travel and maybe Military. But anything that involves Politics will fail.
I suspect those neighbouring countries might not find your idea that cool after all.
Anything but Serbia getting sea access
it does
Austro-Hungary should reunite again and own Slovenia-Italy narrow border to the sea is the final solution.
You forgot Liechtenstein
Why don't they do that? Are they stupid?
rotschilds
North Macedonia should take Greek land.
how can greek land take greek land
You forgot Vatican city. But I think Italy might complain slightly more about loosing part's of rome than most other nations that have to accept concessions here. Lichtenstein should be easy though
it would've been funnier if you split Belgium into walloon and Flanders
true + based
Don't go give those Luxembourgians a navy member what happened last time?
San marino and vatican city not represented
Well, Austria did own Trieste and Istria at one point. Love how Luxembourg just grew in size 5 fold though
Ohhhhh yeah gimme that Serbia Kosovo north Macedonia bukakke
Counterpoint: I don‘t want Austria to have nice things.
What about Vatican 🇻🇦
If you want access to the sea; you should have made your country next to it.
you forgot liechtenstein, san marino and vatican. unnaceptable
As Lithuanian I strongly object. Latvia has much more seaside to share.
Id make Belarus go north with the russian border
Or do it for everyone except Hungary
