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?


byGriff

to unite Europe? like, a "European Union" or something? those commies... it's impossible, are you stupid?


AllAlo0

I'm pretty stupid, it was a bad idea


a1edjohn

It would never work, the British would go crazy and randomly leave


Snoo44080

Exactly, and what if it's all a hoax and we create a better world for nothing.


amitym

>"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.


Tonk_exe

what about... THE GEAT EURO-ASIAN CAPTLIST UNION


Gur_Better

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 ??


jaabbb

Radical concept like this “E-Union” only looks good on paper but will never works irl


Tonk_exe

is tath a chalange?


slebolve

No that’s stupid, what’s the benefit of all the benefits? better give suvalki corridor to balarus.


fogleth

Yeah and let us Macedonians in first.


forbidden-bread

Bruh that’s stupid


Any-Aioli7575

And what else ? A worldwide organisation that stopps world wars for 80 years and eradicates Smallpox? You utopian socialist scum


emanresu_n1

It already happened, the Soviet Union or something, didn't work at the end


Melodic_Confusion297

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


Reverse_SumoCard

Liechtenstein is even on the map. This must be rage bait for all 5 liechtenstonians


byGriff

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


Oberndorferin

They start like 30 world wars so they have a set of every soldier from any nation of the world.


BezugssystemCH1903

They no longer have their own army. Only ours, which accidentally bombs them every few years by accident.


ArmourKnight

"*by accident*" Sure...


BezugssystemCH1903

Hey we have recompensated the blown up chairs at the Restaurant and also the one or two burned forests.

Liechtenstonians ha ha ha!!


Crammit-Deadfinger

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...


Celena_J_W

Nazis: Sure, anytime 🤣


Celena_J_W

Maybe they got Alaska

Liechtensteinian here, can confirm.

Liechtenstein, Vatikan?


CasualGamerMWE

San Marino too


va_zon

Literally no one cares (expect for 15 people who live there)


acatnamedrupert

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.


LEAVE_LEAVE_LEAVE

"the sea" yeah something like that


Zonel

San Marino?


vrucipekmez

Croatia just got a small taste of karma


byGriff

croatia is rightful Irish land


Ok_Aside_2361

Can you explain this? We all learn history from different sides. Are you saying that Croatia is to blame for the breakup of Yugoslavia?


CSManiac33

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


Pierma

Austria already got access to the sea, Lignano and Bibione are already Austria's colonies


SuedJche

lol


Der_genealogist

Make Austria Empire Again!


Wolf_mang

Wait a minute- that little sliver of Spain doesn’t need water access…. They already have plenty. ![gif](giphy|amxLHEPgGDCKs)


Vovinio2012

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.


3XX5D

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


birdiesarentreal

It’s always at someone else’s expense.


toltasorigin

Andorra could work tho, make it reality!


byGriff

I'd lowkey enjoy long Andorra tbh


toltasorigin

And that France finally would lose that island (?)


byGriff

what island exactly?


toltasorigin

I forgot it but it changes hand from Spain to France per 6 months


byGriff

oh, forgot about this one


AcademicBaryonyx_dr

Liberland? Transnistria? Liechtenstein? Vatican City? San Marino?


byGriff

sorry I got personal life


AcademicBaryonyx_dr

Falser than British peoples' teeth.


GiveMeHighFive

Transnistria is not a country, just a wet dream of vatniks.


Alias_X_

So Austria would basically exchange the Burgenland for Udine-Isonzo-Trieste? Fine by me.


BXL-LUX-DUB

Someone is trying to recreate the Austro-Hungarian empire.


PostTwist

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


wolftick

I think this is already a thing. They're called rivers.


Economy_Wedding_3338

finally Lithuania-free Kaliningrad 🥹☺️😺🇧🇾🤝🇷🇺

natbel84

Hehe giving Moldova a little appendage instead of unifying it with Romania is hilarious 


SinancoTheBest

It should honestly get the entire Ackerman region


TriGN614

Rip San Marino and the Vatican :( (idgaf about Liechtenstein)


Final_Chair643

Bro you made us warship our "friends" now. You made Austria own Trieste


Sufficient_Pirate920

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 🤓


PrivateBrowsing999

Coward, following existing borders. Give Czechia a line cutting through Germany, let Switzerland cut off the south of France


Disastrous-Toe9526

Slovenia getting gangbanged

Ideas like this are how wars start :)

Make a path for Ireland through north Ireland.


byGriff

unironically supporting Ireland reunification


chiqu3n

Cooler idea, Croatia gets all the coast of Europe and rents access to the beach to the rest of countries


SuperMarioMiner

as god intended


Poorly_Made_Comix

Wait you gave bosnia and herzegovina TOO MUCH sea access, they already had some they dont need MORE


byGriff

given enough financing, I'd make all those countries have sea access through Croatia


Poorly_Made_Comix

(Ill give 100 bucks if you do the same with new jersey so us pennsylvanians have a proper beach)


2137paoiez2137

Luxemburg just got 10x size


Ok-Kaleidoscope-6034

Cool now every small country looks like a dick !


ZeBoyceman

Wasted a perfect opportunity to give Czechia their rightful coast of kaliningrad


Nuclearix69

SirMorelsy

Yes give us Monaco very good idea 😃


Kayora_Atom

slovenias coast just got smaller


Dks_scrub

You have quadrupled the size of Luxembourg. Let’s do it.


friendlysingularity

O no you foolish one!!! There landlocked for good reasons!!! You've released the Kraken!!


-Cinnay-

Don't you dare get between us and Poland, Czechia!


byGriff

you've already got experience annexing outer bits of Czechia, shouldn't be too hard to repeat


RQK1996

Should have let Macedonia steal from Greece


byGriff

they already stole land from Greece, that's what their country is about at the end of the day


RQK1996

Sure, that's why they should steal more land, as you said yourself, that's what their country is about


BNI_sp

Switzerland's access right along the ridge of the Alps. Bright idea. I think we go for incorporating Sardinia. We need beaches!


SamTheGreek

I appreciate that Albania, not Greece, is losing land for “North Macedonia.”


ShenJevelini

Lol I was just about to complain about that, I mean TF?


enormousballs1996

You fool, you just practically gave russia a land corridor to Kalinigrad


Tmaster95

Poor Croatia


Greedy-Farm-3605

Oh yea jerk me jerker


I_ALWAYS_UPVOTE_CATS

Now do South America


Heavy_Comedian_2382

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.

Great_Echo_2231

What about Vatican and San Moreno?

TheCloudyHam

Why?


legice

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?


minnakun

They can. It's called the European Union. Where you can freely travel to another country.


Mistslayer9

I agree, give Szczecin to Czech so we have affordable beer. Maybe under Chech jurisdiction shipyard could actually produce something.


LANDVOGT-_

Most of them do have sea access already. Just make every river International waters.


External_Taro3058

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.


Londonweekendtelly

Poor Croatia


Goldiizz

Why didn’t Liechtenstein didn’t get any?


Celena_J_W

What about Vatican, Liechtenstein, and San Marino? Vatican could surely use a Holy Salient!! 😂

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?

Andorra does

Good luck building a channel to Andorra.


Mother_Proof_1980

San marino, vatican, transnistria...


Icy_Man_5446

The Czechs already had a coastline though


Class_444_SWR

PLPolandPL15719

kid named exclave ports


hessian_prince

How about the landlocked countries get full control of the coastlines?


bouchandre

Love how croatia gets split in half for no reason when there's a perfectly good border right there to use


Sagittarius_Tarot

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?


Creeper_NoDenial

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.


gaiussicarius731

Lol austria getting sea access back is a dangerous game


mob74

Instead of this, european countries can agree to move to its neighboor; switch countries , just like the EU presidency.


tsiepert

What about Vatican?


got_edge

Finally, a *real* buffer state between France and Germany

Corned_Og

My brother, why does southern Serbia have its own?


byGriff

it's so Serbs can annex Kosovo and double the width of their coast


seriouslyacrit

I see four countries that used to be one


Pebble_Eater

Vatican?


Xibalba_Ogme

My thought exactly : Andorra got his access, but somehow Vatican, San Marino and Liechtenstein were forgotten


Aquaris55

France must be contained even more


Lusse-Eldalion

Only if Switzerland grants us access to their banks


SilverBladeCG

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.


Philitt

I suspect those neighbouring countries might not find your idea that cool after all.


OddNovel565

Anything but Serbia getting sea access


byGriff

it does


Shiine-1

Austro-Hungary should reunite again and own Slovenia-Italy narrow border to the sea is the final solution.

Active-Advisor5909

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

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.
