But Switzerland has line???

Should add a few more lines to Switzerland. We do play nice with EU.

I get it, and lol or whatever, but Ireland is getting two ferries(?) from entirety of the mainland, and the UK is still connected via the tunnel which looks to be a major link-hub for the new system. I guess if it weren’t for Brexit there might have been an Edinburgh-Amsterdam or -Brussels link, but it’s not like Aberdeen or New Castle was going to get any love.

As a heathen Yank, I don't have an actual stake in the whole thing. However, I can't escape the following, as my considered opinion:

EU Proponent: "Hey, you know how it's really easy to govern, fund, and defend nations and empires?"

Skeptical European: "Ummm...are you joking?"

EU Proponent: "Well, some of us were thinking.: what if we carve out a nebulous, constantly shifting middle-ground between a single nation, a group of nations, and an empire. Ya know, some kind of cobbled-together, mutated entity, possessing some characteristics of all those things, but never truly being any of them. That might be EVEN EASIER to manage."

Skeptical European: "What the...what? Fucking WHAT?"

EU Proponent: "We figure the most important aspect would be a constant vagueness, regarding the enforcement of laws, standards, and regulations that all the nations in the semi-pseudo-super-nation group would have to follow."

Skeptical European: "Come again?"

EU Proponent: "Well, it's simple: maybe all the countries in the quasi-ultra-state would be bound to obey laws passed by the mega-parliament. But also, maybe they would still be sovereign states, and they wouldn't have to obey those laws. But, then again, maybe they ARE supposed to obey them, technically, but there isn't an effective method of enforcement. If everyone has to keep guessing, that will make sure everyone pays attention, and everything will go really smoothly."

Skeptical European: "Ohhhhhkay. But we'll still bully the shit out of Greece if they have financial problems, right?"

EU Proponent: "Oh, fuck yes. That's 90 percent of why we're even doing this."

Skeptical European: "Alright, I'm in."
