1. They wanted to give most of Italy to Catholic Church?

2. Despite the many wars in Europe, some of which speaking to the inherent divisions within Europe, the Napoleonic wars and the two World Wars starting in Europe; I admire the green optimism.

3. Good luck with Tuscany in the Papal States

4. Flag is better imo

5. He made a nice map, for the fact that the idea sounds like it was created as a joke together with drunk friends late at night.

6. I love the Russia-Finland border, very clean!

7. Huh? Spain gets Sardinia?

   Is this some consolation prize for being left out?

8. What imperial dissolution and post WWI chaos does to a mf.

9. That flag will give r/vexillology either hard-ons or seizures

10. >Serb.-Alb.-Reich

    Nothing could go wrong with that

11. Gott bewahre…

    ​

    I’m gonna wear this on scarf next time I see an Hungarian. 😀

12. Kanton Haag is the [Bakker Schut plan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_annexation_of_German_territory_after_the_Second_World_War) on steroids

13. *The Central European Union*

    I thought that’s just a myth.

14. there are some issues with this map..

15. That one time the swiss went mad?

16. Hey, they left out weed and vacations, can’t be!

17. What a clusterfuck…

18. Living just outside Vienna, I think living in Canton Marseille sounds rather cool. But I guess the Viennese suburbs would become an legal and administrative nightmare.

    While it may look Austrocentric, I’d argue it is the oposite. Just imagine, building a ring highway around the capital or having to live in the area.

19. Lasting how many weeks exactly?

20. Hey why did they leave us out? Not cool, Vienna. Even if it’s a shitty mess, we want to be included.

21. Artificial borders worked so fine in Africa and the Middle East /s

22. I wonder why there are so many Greek islands that appear Turkish on this map , I’m pretty sure they would have already joined Greece at this point in time.

23. Germans and making up weird plans for Europe, you love to see it ❤️

24. I would’ve called it “The European Empire”.

    IDK it sounds nice i think.
