Why dont they just fuse together already? Their GDP together is the same as Russia

because they are different ethnicities and speak different languages? it makes no sense, even NZ and Aus are different countries yet both are english speaking and anglo populated
So flanders and wallonia speaking different languages isnt a problem, but flanders and the netherlands is?
NZ and australia are only different countries because NZ is too far from australia
Flanders and Wallonia should be split between the Netherlands and France
its only a 3 hour flight there are many countries where it takes much no longer to get from one side to another
>different ethnicities
in what century are you living in?
Taxevasion and asset manipulation. It's the perfect crime. 3 completely irrelevant countries with no economic output leeching on Europe. Thanks friens
Benelux is a pretty cool name too.
Netherlands is relevant
hi luxo
I'm actually one of you. Lol
The netherlands alone is one of the biggest agrarian exporters in the EU and the world.
Not just one of the biggest, the biggest in the EU and the second biggest in the world
I remember you

Ohnonono
Not as powerful as NZ is in Dairy
i always wonder how we do that when almost our entire country is urbanized. Where are all these massive farms?
We only produce expensive stuff like dairy, meat or flowers. A lot of big agricultural countries like brazil produce animal feed which we don't do
Also we are the most efficient at agriculture. We have the highest produce per square meter so even with small land we can still grow a lot
We'll all be together when EU finally federalize :)
How big would that economy be?
22 trillion
ok so since we are all confessing, I have a question
so the dutch bring their own food when they travel right, instead of consuming locally.
but do you do this when you travel WITHIN the netherlands? like if you go from amsterdam to maastricht, do you bring your own food?
usually yeah, it's cheaper that way and you never know what's available.
Also i'm on a cut at the moment and even most of the "healthy" options have 200 kcal in oils or fats alone. No thanks
same reason why people take their own food to lunch or work saves lots of money
Is everybody a millionaire in Luxembourg?
ok because this is mostly perceived abroad as a nationalistic thing, like "they don't want to participate to the local economy so they bring their own food"
but my theory is that maybe it's a sailor atavism, when you travel by sea you bring your own food in your ship and it became cultural.
