1. The Saarland.

9. Still cannot believe we gave South Tyrol away but pretend Burgenland is part of Austria. You probably never heard about it. For good reason.

10. Rockall is blameless and therefore much less pointless than Paedophile (Pitcairn) Island.

11. Not useless. Would extend UK’s EEZ further west.

18. Africa
    (Remember this sub is stupid).

19. Gibraltar, its riddled with “brits” as proved by this gif:

    

20. I present to you Bangor, Northern Ireland. The most recent city to gain city status on the island of Ireland.

    Hey Barry, if you give us Northern Ireland back we’ll let you keep Bangor as a memento. What do you say? (Barry’s reaction: Uh… Fuck off you’re taking every last square millimeter of Bangor with you.)

21. Everything south of Rome.

    And I’ve not said south of the po river just because I would be outside by just 50km.

22. France has the [Clipperton atoll](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipperton_Island) in the Pacific ocean. No real use except some nice EEZ (the same size as the French Hexagone) and a nice spot for biology nerds.

23. Belgium.

24. The former GDR tbh

25. Berlin

26. ^… ^no ^comment

    This is the only rock on planet earth I’d be willing to kill a man stone dead. All other rocks can get fucked.

    Does this look spanish to you? No? It’s because it’s not! That beautiful Portuguese Manueline architecture seen in places like Geronimos’ Monastery and Belém Tower in Lisbon complemented by the magnificent azuleijos.

    OLIVENÇA IS OURS AND WE’LL HAVE IT BACK SOONER OR LATER!
