Germany is the same but without the bullet trains and the robots wiping your ass.
we have plenty of bullet trains - 367 last I checked, plus bullet trains from other countries - they're just chronically late because of car-focused policies over the last decades causing the infrastructure to basically rot away.
still no ass-wiping robots though, maybe one day...
yeah we have a bunch of ICEs, but no transrapid for us. japan has a bunch of maglev trains.
Japan has one maglev line under construction with a completion date set for 2045.
Well, also plus random homeless guy yelling at you about Vladimir Lenin, the roads looking like Romania ca. 1983 and a cadre of stern government employees showing up out of nowhere to shout "NEIN!!" and disappear. Very futuristic in a sort of Metro 2033 way.
As a Romanian, that would be overestimating our ability to maintain roads.
Roads? Where we're going we won't NEED roads!
It's Romania, we're going to Romania.
Yeah, when I think of Germany, I think of papers.
Germany doesn't have bidets? France does.
Bidet as it may
