For the non EU-residents, here's the TARRIST ATTACKS ZOMG chart of 2010:
[snip/]

Oh, jolly good show!  How very British of our terrorists to be so understated that they don't explain what they're fighting for.  They're probably queuing up (literally! ...and with no pushing or grumbling!) to commit atrocities, but don't want to cause a fuss by actually taking up people's time any further to explain their position.  (And as with any sufficiently refined retailer establishment's price-list, if you have to ask you don't want to know!)  Do you think we could work it out from what ties they're wearing?  Or the exact pitch and style of their pin-striped suits?

Of course, it's always possible that the sub-department of the terrorist cell responsible for the passing on their reasons didn't get the chitty.  They may have got a D450 docket, of course, but you can't do anything with just a D450.  There needs to be a counter-signed FG920.  Both the pink and the blue counterparts.  Remember the white slip goes up a level and the yellow goes to Filing, along with a Filing Request (a 220G properly stamped), or it gets bounced back to Receipts, who then has to call Reg on Green, as long as that new girl at reception hasn't tied the line up, or some idiots gone and blown up the exchange...

Great work, Bay 12. We went from a completely unified Europe to a completely hacked-apart Europe in ten pages.

Or possibly a Europe divided around nationalist lines held together under a a European federation?

It actually makes sense to have more diversified member states under one umbrella federal government. Especially in the "border" areas between languages, people speak the same dialect on either side of the border. The current country borders are just as made up and archaic as the state lines in the US or Africa. The fact that europe's borders look "more natural" is just because they've been fought over more, eventually devolving into a fractal nature. Still arbitrary, though.

It needs to be around 740 million micronations, with fully fluid territorial claims and freedom to create and evolve Benelux-style unions between any arbitrary number of these nations as each head of state deems fit.  Any international disputes and claim transferences to be arbitrated by a council of selected nations who specialise in such things, according to guidances and supra-national regulations developed by another set thereof.

Right?

I'd totally go for it. And then distribute humanity according to their beliefs, so we get an all-white racist state, an all-black racist one, one with capitalists, one with communists, one with libertarians, one with assholes and, of course, one for myself. :P
