What's to follow Brexit? Czechout?

[Vorond]

well damn, there goes our third attempt at the german dream. Next time we're doing things the old way again...

[Teemant]

who came up with these names they sound like jokes.

Seriously who came up with the word 'Brexit' ?

I don't know but they are catchy. If Estonia would have a referendum we could call it Exit but Estonians are not going anywhere any time soon.

What's with the all the Crusades-related user pics lately? Is that some new meme?

Sorry could not resist, that one always make me laugh

Yeah it is a meme, but ive also seen some people use these memes and genuinely think there should be another bout of crusades because they are ultra radical Christians and or right wing zealots.

But its mostly memes from my experience.

The irony is the crusades failed. If you want to emulate somebody, why not somebody who actually won?

This time we'll win. It'll be Crusade 'o Clock.

Brexit works because it is British-Exit. Same reason Frexit and Grexit "work".

Half the shit on the first page is garbage by comparison.
Czechout though, that's funny and actually also works.

Keep it to HOI.
Oh now there's an idea, make Paradox games an international competition so we can all put our super-patriot hats on for a couple months.
"And the German team has beaten their real-world equivalents by capturing Paris in half the time the Wehrmacht did, the French team has apparently ragequit."

Why not use this guy as the meme instead?

Fun fact, the French actually captured Berlin in 1806 in half the time the Germans captured Paris in 1940.

France used to be tough, and the best army in the world. The disasters of Napoleon III and WWII destroyed their image, their image has never recovered.

[The Portland Territory]

Probably not tbh. I could see a Polexit though

Oh there image was destroyed in the early parts of WW1.
Marching in straight lines into machine gun fire will do that.

Well that did not help, but it did not look cowardly. Just stupid.

The big blow before that was the Franco-Prussian war.

Reminds me of a line from the series 37 Days.
The German ambassador sits next to the French ambassador outside the British Foreign Secretary's office.
The German ambassador says "Been waiting long?"
The French ambassador says "Only since 1871."

France was the greatest land power prior to the German unification.
Germany dwarfed everyone, even Britain unless you included the wider empire.

And it was very young, ambitious and felt like it had something to prove.
Not a good combination.

[Great Feng]

Can Germany have the monarchy back?

Yes please.

It felt like it had something to prove, because the concert of Europe denied it access to empire, to resources and to oil.

[Chkalovsk]

I believe Merkel has expressed interest in Syria taking Britain's place.

It makes sense that the other nations with the strongest Eurosceptic movements would be able to push for a vote next. The nations that put the most into the Union project but receive the least in return.
So I'd guess that the Netherlands and France will hold votes in the next 2 to 5 years, and if they leave there might be referendums in Sweden, Denmark and Italy.
Of course in this hypothetical situation, after each nation leaves the Eurosceptic movement can expect to grow elsewhere, but the EU will keep making it harder to leave, maybe by applying economic pressures to nations that leave. That is until the project collapses and is abandoned.

The EU has more than cash value.

Judging by how the whole Brexit referendum seems to turn more and more into a colossal joke at the expense of gullible British voters, I doubt we're going to see similar referendums in other countries anytime soon.

Only the media and middle class Brits seem to treat it as a joke. And Brexit voters are not gullible or idiots.
The movement is strong and seriously worrying the political establishment in countries such as France. I'd be most surprised if we were the last nation to leave.
