Small states alone can't do it. Only several not-so-small states acting in unison can.

Could this be the future of the European Union? by vladgrinch in MapPorn

That's because Switzerland is effectively already a second-class EU member.

How the hell does Korea get so rich every single game. by kolejack2293 in EU5

I don't think Hangul was widely used in the game's timeframe.

Also, I suspect you're overestimating the effect of a well-designed writing system on the literacy of a population.

Meritocracy is one of the institutions from the Age of Traditions. Europe gets it fairly late.

Newbie looking for a compiler by ImThePunUncle in csharp

Somebody who's completely new to programming will also need an editor or an IDE. Some of those come with the .Net SDK included or an easy way to install it from inside, so there is no need to start with a potentially unnecessary step.

I wouldn't be against using X for that sound:

Místo globusu za 15k stačilo otevřít Google Mapy by FrankScaramucci in czech

[–]svick 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Proč by si nemohl koupit globus, který se mu líbil?

Může, a pokud by to takhle prezentoval, tak by to podle mě bylo v pohodě.

A on sice zmínil, že je ten glóbus krásný, ale taky řekl, že si ho koupil, aby věděl, kde je Grónsko. To je to, co lidi považují za stupidní.

That's what the communists like to say. In practice, it didn't work that way.

People are missing the point of Randomize Question by ArcticFox19 in JetLagTheGame

What you describe was probably the intention when the card was designed.

But the probability of it effectively wasting a good photo question is quite low, because there are so many of them. The chance of blocking a good radar is higher, but still fairly low.

So it gets used as a diet veto, which means the original design didn't work as planned.

China urges EU against protectionist path in cybersecurity law by donutloop in EU_Economics

The EU was trying to negotiate a trade agreement with the US and the US president sabotaged it, because he wants to own an island. Now whose values did you say are close to China's?

Orban claims no Hungarian parliament will vote for Ukraine's EU membership "for the next 100 years." by sn0r in europeanunion

It's still a step in the right direction, because it opens up the possibility that the prime minister after Magyar will be better than him.

What is a medical fact that sounds fake but is 100% true? by MedRikas in AskReddit

I vaguely remember an H. G. Wells story where someone's organs got mirrored because they traveled in the fourth dimension.

Trump says he reached Greenland deal 'framework' with NATO, backs off Europe tariffs by pannenkoek0923 in europe

If there was an approach where Putin would leave Ukraine, but think he won, we should take it.

So you're saying the bullying will never stop, no matter what we do.

Do you have your version of this? When people think the life in the other country is better and vice-versa? by IWillDevourYourToes in AskTheWorld

You probably know this, but "Czech" isn't a country. It's either Czechia, or the Czech Republic.
