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.


Iskandar33

based and Occitanepilled, they are just italians speaking french.


Ok-Education-1539

Isn’t Lombard and other northern dialects closer to Occitan than to southern dialects ? That would make it the other way around, just saying…


Iskandar33

yep, many words in south italian dialects also, came from the french too.


Lost_Uniriser

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💀).


deeznutsdontbite

My condolences.


Kurdt93

Yep, also Venetian is similar to Catalan


eziocolorwatcher

Every single dialect or language is similar to catalán at this point.


Loud-Host-2182

It's the new Lingua Franca. No more English, ara parlem tots català. Glòria a l'imperi català!


mbrevitas

So Esperanto is basically Catalan with extra steps?


Grand_Ad_8376

We are everywhere, prepare to be assimilated


ZombiFeynman

North Italy is Spain confirmed. Please, Meloni, evacuate in a week.


VrwHenet

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.


deeznutsdontbite

Unfortunately, Veneto doesn't have a focus tree.😔


Zeppy_18

Time for another round of italian wars? I will ready the pike


MonsterRider80

Got it the other way around mon ami, you guys all speak our language


Gloomy-Chest-1888

In Marseille too? French Napoli.


WelpImTrapped

Basically yeah


Ok-Winner-6589

Or catalonians speaking french. I wish they are italians tho


ArcaneMitch

Fuck off, we're Catalans, or Basque, we would never switch sides like you


smackdealer1

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


GurthMgee

Deal! Paris is not included.


Lecteur_K7

Tou can have marseille with it


Henghast

Yeah we don't have to deal with Marseille. Perhaps we can build a wall. Many big rock pile.

Absolutely not. Where you going Brittany? You think you can leave your fellow Celts so easily?


Kohel13

With the Galicians... You can join but not your oppressors


smackdealer1

😂 oh man Oppressors, man we have the best fucking PR team.


Vlad-the-Inhailer

Your PR team was on fire in the euros I hear. Personally, I enjoyed trainspotting more, more accurate too I feel like.


ZombiFeynman

Hi! Let's create a mussel eating empire


Crohn1e

We don't want Paris tyvm


Kohel13

Neither do we


JapaneseMachine99

If no one wants it, can't we just bomb it and start over?


ZombiFeynman

If we are going to get planes in the air let's do a two for one and bomb Brussels too.


Crohn1e

Give this man some planes


Grand_Ad_8376

A little detour to Madrid can be included?


ZombiFeynman

Why not


amojitoLT

Once again, Lyon is on the separation line. Like with every map of Europe ever.


Hellvetic91

Can we participate too? We speak Italian :)


Hellvetic91

Also, we hate Italians :)


WelpImTrapped

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.


lo_dfh

That's Romanian flag sir, the real Roman

Extreme_Tax405

Sideways germoney


SirCrocodile_2004

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.


youloosethatgame

Second flag is our hard drugs import region.


Starwarsnerd91

B.A.R.F Belgium. Andorra. Romania. France.


Zerestrasz

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.


Buriedpickle

Doesn't Romania have the fastest internet speeds in Europe? They aren't too shabby at stealing wiring.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pytheastic

Yeah, them and Bulgaria are basically our India. So many companies moved most of their IT departments there.


Buriedpickle

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?


Zerestrasz

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


Starwarsnerd91

They're good guys. I sent them a telegram earlier, they're willing to take one for the team.


Dirac_Impulse

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.


Myfeetaregreen

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.


mainwasser

You forgot to mention the part where Austria ruled over Germany and Benelux for 500 years.


mainwasser

>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.


WelpImTrapped

Hear, hear


LookitsToby

Replace Romania with Luxembourg and you get FLAB


Starwarsnerd91

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…


Xayahbetes

Aquiladelleone

Poor Belgium. They come with us, in our glorious Benelux paradise. For France... don't know.


WelpImTrapped

> ~~Be~~NeLux paradise Not with Belgium, that's for sure.


Extreme_Tax405

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.


CoteDuBois

you weren't even mentioned in the meme my dude


Aquiladelleone

Moreso I can comment, as external objectiv viewer.


Radiant_Ad_6192

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.

Moaner_The_Vampire

At least Belgium gets Benelux. Only Pierre is truly unwanted.


WelpImTrapped

~~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.


Llanistarade

Well, we are superior, we cant bring ourselves as low as being a part of something.


boomerintown

Europes most forgotten country.


Belgian_Stella_

That's definitely Moldova


zyygh

Moldova has only taken that spot from Georgia just now.


WelpImTrapped

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.


boomerintown

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. https://preview.redd.it/8qkio6a7m59d1.png?width=645&format=png&auto=webp&s=ddf447c752bcc6b47e945df2fc783b52245226e4

Mine was banter too Jensen 😊


boomerintown

WelpImTrapped

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 💪🏻

Yes, Karel II, the last great King.

They won't allow us in GUNS. Why won't you be DUNGS?


Wardaner

Sweden is the default scandinavian country and represents you, so your letter is not welcome 😘


Stravven

Doesn't the S in Guns stand for Scandinavia? I'm voting for renaming the Frugal Four to NADS (Netherlands, Austria, Denmark, Sweden).

Stravven

Why Latvia when you can use Luxembourg?


Whichwhenwhywhat

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.


Kriswa78

Everybody does that


Kuivamaa

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.


Kriswa78

>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

I keep my bag of bags in a box of course.

EngineNo8904

I think that goes beyond just PIGS, it’s the same in the UK at least


Phosquitos

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.


Morning_Routine_

If you want to torture both of them, just say so and we will happily deliver them to you.


Phosquitos

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


Cy83rCr45h

Does "tinto" mean it's dyed?


Phosquitos

In the wine world, tinto means red. All the red wines in Spain are call it 'tinto'.


Live-Alternative-435

It's the same in Portuguese.

JaDasIstMeinName

French speaking countries with Switzerland and Luxembourg maybe? The only problem is that they don't work in a word...


mainwasser

Luxemburg has four languages (German, funny German, Portuguese and French) so they don't deserve to be grouped with Jean-Abdel.


Y_drawsNew

What are those fake flags?


Luzifer_Shadres

If belgium gets annexed by luxemburg and france splitts in the middle, we can integrate them into both.
