Nothing could possibly go wrong.
-
And since they are all the same anyway, just make up some new borders. Worked great in the middle east.
-
Yes, and make them go in almost perfect straight lines like in Africa. Cut through important places and cultures like a knife.
Cynicism aside, it's great to see them and the EU trying to establish peace and lasting unity despite everything.
-
-
That's certainly never been tried before. I predict zero consequences.
-
I think a lot of them would actually be very supportive of this idea, however I don't believe any of them agree with how it should be merged.
-
"Who wants to be the leader of this new country?"
"Me!" Said everyone.
-
-
😬
-
Uuuuuuh yeah about that, Chief.
-
Maybe call it something like southern slav land.
-
Oh! Thanks for that, I never saw it until now. In one slavic language that is more familiar to me it would be "jiho" - close enough.
-
Interesting. I'm a language nerd and that made me curious.
Plugging "jiho" into Google Translate and selecting "Detect Language" doesn't give me anything Slavic.
But if I try "jiho" specifically from Czech, Serbian, Macedonian, Croatian, Bosnian, or Bulgarian, they all translate to English "south." (Trying "jiho" with Albanian, however, translates to English "yes.") But none of those options were provided when it tried to "detect" the language? Wtf.
It gets weirder. If I type "south" and translate it into any of the above languages, not a single one responds with "jiho." The closest I see is an option under "more translations" for Czech, which provides "jih."
I know translation is a tricky business, but how does any of this make sense? Google's got enough power, capitol, and access to information to be able to figure this stuff out. Or is this just what enshittification looks like when it's applied to translation services?
(Side note: I'm open to suggestions for other translation sites. The more information they provide, the better.)

lets call it "Austria"
-
Let's not.

Oml why is Croatia enclosing Bosnia like that that’s so mean 😭
-
Because they stole the whole coastline of Yugoslavia.
-
Cuddles 🥰

Countries are so dumb
-
the nation state and its consequences have been a disaster of humankind

Don’t make me roll a naval mine down a hill at you, OP.
-
Wait, didn't some madlad over there actually do that?
-
Yup, some Croatian forces IIRC.
-
Ohh, there were more inventions in that war
Rolling naval mine downhill
Boiler bombs
Gun made from steering wheel that used shotgun shells as ammo

Merge them? You'd like that, you git.
-
Push off, you're not my master
-
Just a other bad faith comment. Entirely mercurial.
-
and we certainly know who to blame
-
-
-
Serbia agrees.
-
Serbia thinks that the last name was the problem and this time it should just be Greater Serbia so there will only be Serbs in it... One way or another.
-
-
Maybe name the merged country after some sort of footstool?
-
How about no.
-
Never again! It went awful the last time.
-
i think trans siberian orchestra made a song about that
-
Actually great concert experience seeing them
-
-
How to start a flame war.
-
flame?
-

-
Don't worry. Croatia is already eating one of them.

This time fr

How is the EU going to handle the conflicts once they are all members?
-
Violently

Don't mind me, just fixing the rule:
It's ok, the Russian Federation of USA will take care of that!
This but unironically, go democratic world federalism
I propose we get rid of all of them to lower the number of countries
2 countries: United States of Earth, and Belgium.
Zero is a good number, indeed.
