Polandball

Wiggly mouse-drawn comics where balls represent different countries. They poke fun at national stereotypes and the "international drama" of their diplomatic relations. Polandball combines history, geography, Engrish, and an inferiority complex. God knows how the hell we’re supposed to do a wiki without using another website here….

Hey we welcomed you, but you guys didn't like it here apparently! Meh it's fine, you'll be back eventually if we don't get ww3 first.

To be fair about 30% of us said we didn't like it. the rest of us were either too young to vote, swiftly positive or thought remain would easily win and couldn't be bothered to get out to the polls

And if this bizarro world ever happened, it would open the door for the US to join the EU by bordering an EU state and let hundreds of millions of Americans take advantage of the Schengen zone.

How’d you figure out our plan so quickly?

Came here to say this. St-Pierre and Miquelon ftw.

Now they gotta let Brazil and Suriname get in as well. French Guiana ftw.

This would be huge for both the EU and Canada. The EU would gain a major economy and a strong presence in the Americas, and Canada would gain all the benefits of the euro and EU membership. Both entities would be stronger for it, especially in a world where the US is an increasingly unreliable ally.

I would really want to live in canada then. Not that I wouldn’t now, but damn if I could travel freely around the rest of the EU it would be amazing.

If Australia can be in Eurovision, Canada can be in the EU. Checkmate

Ah yes. The same logic that makes France a country in both North and South America, Africa, Oceania, and Antarctica (in addition to Europe obviously).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Well... yes.

Americans with technically American soil bases bordering almost every country.

Now everyone is American!
