Sorry Pedro but if I have to change flag I'd rather go back with my red white red old "friends" due to vicinity, you never know, it may be the right time to create the glorious kingdom of the Alps.
No, you guys are the most God-complex, arrogant, stuffy, moralist people I have ever met and I am French.
Except of course if your flair is what I think it is, Ticino.
Very true, when I go to south of France it feels very familiar compared to Paris for example. Also centuries ago it was occitania and was part of us. Andorra too, so yeah.
Fastest internet? Wow. Do they also have beautiful girls? Asking for a friend.

Belgium, AUSTRIA, Romania, France.
None of them fully work in the GUNS vs PIGS line.
One could argue that Austria belongs to GUNS through Germany, just like Denmark, Norway and Finland belongs to GUNS by just being independent parts of Sweden, but the Austrians are far more PIGS- and slav-esque than any serious member of GUNS.
France is weird. Romania is weird. Belgium is just the name of an area of which about half is Dutch and half French, so it's also weird in that sense.
Interestingly, that fits. Austria was conquered sometime in the middle ages by christian forces. It was, more or less, a border fortification before becoming a duchy.
>but the Austrians are far more PIGS- and slav-esque than any serious member of GUNS
Austria has good food, beautiful cities and towns, a laid back attitude, Catholicism and a fully dysfunctional government, we're basically Belgium's sister.
People who clown on belgium always clown on flandes and Brussels. I feel sorry for the Waloon people living in the small cities and villages, being mocked because of us while being the most down to earth people ln the planet lol.
~~Unwanted~~ Unclassifiable. We are neither truly Northern Europe in the north nor truly Southern Europe in the South, we are Latin, Celtic and Germanic, we have all possible European climates from Temperate Oceanic to Mediterranean, Semi-continental, Alpine, Semi-Arid...
We are unique. We are the perfect mix. We are the quintessential Western European country. Face it.
Forgotten ? Adored, hated, but never ignored...
France is probably the least forgotten country, my guy. Anyway, countries of < 20 M people don't get to have a say in that topic.
It was what we in <20 m people countries (and UK) call "a joke", pretty much based on what you said. :)
Anyway, good luck ignoring Sweden.

Imagine having such awful kings you consider him a great one. Leave it to the Spanish to go bankrupt over and over even as you plunder all the gold and silver from America lol
Some people invented French fries, others became famous because of them.
What else the countries have worth mentioning and where they belong is as unclear as the question of whether cats have 7 or 9 lives.
I say PIGS on the ground that Italian and French grandmothers store their sewing kit in these little metal-sheet biscuit boxes, and apparently it's a core memory for both nations.
I have a vague recollection as a very young child of a box of Danish cookies appearing my home and having actual cookies in it. Every other time I opened one it had needles, thread, pins etc inside.

The argument is strong, but if you want the approval of Spain, Segolene Royale must eat Spanish tomatos for a year, and Macron must drink only Spanish wine for that year too.
I'm preparing the wine for Macron. One of our most famous and exquisite.

France is a bit if both rly. But Belgium is a full on Northern country lol.
Beer instead of wine
Butter instead of olive oil.
Clouds instead of sun.
Cold glares instead of warm greetings.
Imagine if there were two countries that were primarily ethnically celtic and spoke a language that was influenced by Germanic tongues and Latin.
Imagine if neither one of them held the majority of its languages speakers, and Imagine if they both larped as their own former empires.
FUK
France is obviously Latin Europe🤌 so PFIGS
As Switzerland and Austria aren't included (?) in GUNS we should start an own club and Belgium can join us:
BÖS 🇧🇪🇦🇹🇨🇭
South of France goes with pigs, north goes with guns. The other flag, I'm not sure what it is and I'm pretty confident someone just made it up.
based and Occitanepilled, they are just italians speaking french.
Isn’t Lombard and other northern dialects closer to Occitan than to southern dialects ? That would make it the other way around, just saying…
yep, many words in south italian dialects also, came from the french too.
I can confirm. In 2 days in Barcelona I understood 70% of Catalàn and 30% of Spanish (I learnt german for more than 10 years💀).
My condolences.
Yep, also Venetian is similar to Catalan
Every single dialect or language is similar to catalán at this point.
It's the new Lingua Franca. No more English, ara parlem tots català. Glòria a l'imperi català!
So Esperanto is basically Catalan with extra steps?
We are everywhere, prepare to be assimilated
North Italy is Spain confirmed. Please, Meloni, evacuate in a week.
Sorry Pedro but if I have to change flag I'd rather go back with my red white red old "friends" due to vicinity, you never know, it may be the right time to create the glorious kingdom of the Alps.
Unfortunately, Veneto doesn't have a focus tree.😔
Time for another round of italian wars? I will ready the pike
Got it the other way around mon ami, you guys all speak our language
In Marseille too? French Napoli.
Basically yeah
Or catalonians speaking french. I wish they are italians tho
Fuck off, we're Catalans, or Basque, we would never switch sides like you
And where's the line? Careful now we wouldn't want the division of France to spark a great war.

No deal Paris is included
Deal! Paris is not included.
Tou can have marseille with it
Yeah we don't have to deal with Marseille. Perhaps we can build a wall. Many big rock pile.
https://preview.redd.it/0felqmed349d1.png?width=538&format=png&auto=webp&s=d6d29ca3198624d03169eeb68b4d5efedb93c48c
Absolutely not. Where you going Brittany? You think you can leave your fellow Celts so easily?
With the Galicians... You can join but not your oppressors
😂 oh man Oppressors, man we have the best fucking PR team.
Your PR team was on fire in the euros I hear. Personally, I enjoyed trainspotting more, more accurate too I feel like.
Hi! Let's create a mussel eating empire
We don't want Paris tyvm
Neither do we
If no one wants it, can't we just bomb it and start over?
If we are going to get planes in the air let's do a two for one and bomb Brussels too.
Give this man some planes
A little detour to Madrid can be included?
Why not
Once again, Lyon is on the separation line. Like with every map of Europe ever.
Can we participate too? We speak Italian :)
Also, we hate Italians :)
No, you guys are the most God-complex, arrogant, stuffy, moralist people I have ever met and I am French. Except of course if your flair is what I think it is, Ticino.
That's Romanian flag sir, the real Roman
Half your family came here to work in the mines. Stop pretending you don't know us and get that coal.
It is a drunk German lying on her side
They are their own group BF, ~~Bastard Fiends~~ Best Friends.
And where do you put what's in the center ? I'm from lyon and we seem to fit neither with pigs not guns.
Sideways germoney
Very true, when I go to south of France it feels very familiar compared to Paris for example. Also centuries ago it was occitania and was part of us. Andorra too, so yeah.
Second flag is our hard drugs import region.
B.A.R.F Belgium. Andorra. Romania. France.
Like the dog food, I like it. I am just sorry for the Romanian guys, but they don't have internet there so they won't read this message.
Doesn't Romania have the fastest internet speeds in Europe? They aren't too shabby at stealing wiring.
[удалено]
Yeah, them and Bulgaria are basically our India. So many companies moved most of their IT departments there.
I don't know, they are adept at posting Daco-Roman continuity favoured ramblings. What else is the internet used for if not rampant nationalism?
Fastest internet? Wow. Do they also have beautiful girls? Asking for a friend. https://preview.redd.it/r92tc7k8p49d1.jpeg?width=644&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=afdba8535e6eaaf83beafb0d184b10e6658c9145
They're good guys. I sent them a telegram earlier, they're willing to take one for the team.
Belgium, AUSTRIA, Romania, France. None of them fully work in the GUNS vs PIGS line.

You forgot to mention the part where Austria ruled over Germany and Benelux for 500 years.
>but the Austrians are far more PIGS- and slav-esque than any serious member of GUNS Austria has good food, beautiful cities and towns, a laid back attitude, Catholicism and a fully dysfunctional government, we're basically Belgium's sister.
Hear, hear
Replace Romania with Luxembourg and you get FLAB
Nice. I tried to make F.A.R.T but couldn't get it to work. France. Andorra. Romania. Turkey. But that wouldn't fly for obvious reasons
Is it just me who immediately thought of Russia as the ‘R’ in Barf…
Im offended to be considered 🅱️elgium and be in the same category as Fr*nce
Poor Belgium. They come with us, in our glorious Benelux paradise. For France... don't know.
> ~~Be~~NeLux paradise Not with Belgium, that's for sure.
People who clown on belgium always clown on flandes and Brussels. I feel sorry for the Waloon people living in the small cities and villages, being mocked because of us while being the most down to earth people ln the planet lol.
you weren't even mentioned in the meme my dude
Moreso I can comment, as external objectiv viewer.
We are probably more related to France than to the other PIGS. But this is 2we4u, so fuck them, we don't want them, send them to Antarctica.
You're just like us, João. The Miño is an artificial border. ![gif](giphy|Uz5ekwaEIQHfi)
Well not artificial but yea they come from us
Gib money, paizinho!
We are also poor, João. Ask the lisboetas, they are rich.
>We are probably more related to France than to the other PIGS. Least delusional João
🤨🖕🏻
Cala a boca que vides da grande Galicia
*Galiza, se vais falar Galego então que fales corretamente
At least Belgium gets Benelux. Only Pierre is truly unwanted.
~~Unwanted~~ Unclassifiable. We are neither truly Northern Europe in the north nor truly Southern Europe in the South, we are Latin, Celtic and Germanic, we have all possible European climates from Temperate Oceanic to Mediterranean, Semi-continental, Alpine, Semi-Arid... We are unique. We are the perfect mix. We are the quintessential Western European country. Face it.
Well, we are superior, we cant bring ourselves as low as being a part of something.
Europes most forgotten country.
That's definitely Moldova
Moldova has only taken that spot from Georgia just now.
Forgotten ? Adored, hated, but never ignored... France is probably the least forgotten country, my guy. Anyway, countries of < 20 M people don't get to have a say in that topic.

Mine was banter too Jensen 😊
As a *Svensson,* I got license to be autist. Not German level, but still.
That's fair. If you notice my flair, I too, share the Germanic trait of not doing "humor"
France goes with their old Frankish cousins: Germany, Austria and Switzerland in the F.A.G.S. We go with the based BeNeLux 💪🏻
Yeah, fuck them. We don't need them
BeNeLux stronk 💪🏻
So you're telling me France is a lonely cat ? Sign me up!

Are we "welsche" too?
Belgium can into PIGS. They still have the magnificient city of Charleroy honoring our King Carlos II.
You mean karel?
Yes, Karel II, the last great King.
You mean Karel V.
No, I mean Karel II van Spanje
Yes, Karel V.
Imagine having such awful kings you consider him a great one. Leave it to the Spanish to go bankrupt over and over even as you plunder all the gold and silver from America lol
The only king with a built-in pluviometer!
And they also have roughly the same level of development
You should visit it sometime..very picturesque.
We have some Spanish royalty and everyone has some Italian blood, we wanna be pigs. We also love bacon!
I doubt if you were from the Flemish side you would say that.
I can confirm that

Euro-pa-pa-pa
De wittekoppen in my area deny any claim of italian blood. Shit, i grew up looking like Jommeke myself.
They won't allow us in GUNS. Why won't you be DUNGS?
Sweden is the default scandinavian country and represents you, so your letter is not welcome 😘
Doesn't the S in Guns stand for Scandinavia? I'm voting for renaming the Frugal Four to NADS (Netherlands, Austria, Denmark, Sweden).
Germany Luxembourg Austria Netherlands Denmark Sweden GLANDS
Why Latvia when you can use Luxembourg?
Some people invented French fries, others became famous because of them. What else the countries have worth mentioning and where they belong is as unclear as the question of whether cats have 7 or 9 lives.
They? I only see the French flag.

belgium has benelux, give france to quebec
We love you too 🥹
I say PIGS on the ground that Italian and French grandmothers store their sewing kit in these little metal-sheet biscuit boxes, and apparently it's a core memory for both nations.
Everybody does that
I have a vague recollection as a very young child of a box of Danish cookies appearing my home and having actual cookies in it. Every other time I opened one it had needles, thread, pins etc inside.
>a box of Danish cookies appearing my home and having actual cookies in it. Straight up psycho shit, better check the basement/attic for corpses
oh fuck this is the bag of bags all over again.
I mean, where would you keep your bags otherwise?
I keep my bag of bags in a box of course.

I think that goes beyond just PIGS, it’s the same in the UK at least
The argument is strong, but if you want the approval of Spain, Segolene Royale must eat Spanish tomatos for a year, and Macron must drink only Spanish wine for that year too.
If you want to torture both of them, just say so and we will happily deliver them to you.
I'm preparing the wine for Macron. One of our most famous and exquisite. https://preview.redd.it/4ngx2ic4249d1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1dc851bff4a185f4589d2d2a3420504401dbc2c6
Does "tinto" mean it's dyed?
In the wine world, tinto means red. All the red wines in Spain are call it 'tinto'.
It's the same in Portuguese.
Can you mix it with this ? I want him to suffer. https://preview.redd.it/j21y2a4kt49d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f511083e91f2373042cb90710050273ee364881
Damn bro, you dont even need to ask, make them do all you want, no one in France will defend them !
I though that was our thing. 😢
We do that
In the trash
forgot that Belgium doesn’t exist.
Belgium? Is that a brand of chocolate?
No it is a type of beer.
With everything that's going on there right now, they will soon join the PIGS.
Crazy idea Hans: we can split up France. You take the north and we take the south. Deal?
I'd be happy with Alsace. But I'd also take the north, if required. But I don't want to have to do anything with Paris.
Careful Luigi, you were lucky the last time, dont push that luck.
Was he lucky last time?
Lucky he didn't lose more despite trying to stab us in the back and failing miserably at it, relying on Hans not to be completly humiliated.
France is mixed. PIGS, GUNS and AFRICAN.
Know your place, trash ![gif](giphy|QVP7DawXZitKYg3AX5)
We belong alone because we are far superior to you all meanwhile Belgium can join the Us for all I care
We are peak Western Europe.
France is a bit if both rly. But Belgium is a full on Northern country lol. Beer instead of wine Butter instead of olive oil. Clouds instead of sun. Cold glares instead of warm greetings.
French speaking countries with Switzerland and Luxembourg maybe? The only problem is that they don't work in a word...
Luxemburg has four languages (German, funny German, Portuguese and French) so they don't deserve to be grouped with Jean-Abdel.
What are those fake flags?
If belgium gets annexed by luxemburg and france splitts in the middle, we can integrate them into both.
