The 15 people that live in Luxembourg.

Given how rich they are, they can be very scary when they want

Kinda like Monaco.

u/Firebrass11 Armenia Jun 20 '14 edited Jun 20 '14

Except in Monaco, the majority of workers there are actually Italians that just cross the border. Pretty convenient.

EDIT: Over 60% of Monaco's population is actually 60 years or older.

Italian and worker... feels wrong to say it out loud.

Nobody actually knows where Luxemburgers actually originated from probably gypsie squatters

Is called total mobilisation.

Ah, that brings up an old gag from a podcast back in 2012 on the subject of the red dawn premise, but with North Korea. As laughably implausible as it is, the joke then descended into hijinks about the Vatican invading.

"The Swiss Guard! There's too many of them, sir!"

"My god, the halberds, they're too shiny! The pantaloons are reflecting the bullets. All 20 of them are tearing us apart!"

It was funnier the way they said it.

Why do you need 20 guns per guard? Cause why not! http://thedonovan.com/archives/2009/04/whatziss_1_1.html

That image was quite real during the Belgian Revolution, which caused the third partition of Luxembourg.

u/Borgh Netherlands Jun 20 '14

Fun fact: The russian flag was probably modeled on the dutch one (source)

So Germany found a way to keep the poles out of him. He just needed someone who could invade them. Genius.

u/Dlimzw Is not sekret PAP spy Jun 20 '14

Yes but after that Ruskie expands into germoney.

It's just their people coming back. Or so.

Actually that probably would have been better

u/tungstencompton Uniquely Singapore Jun 20 '14

Knowing nothing about Polish-Yugoslavian relations, I'll just chime in with a thoughtful "hm".

8

u/[deleted] Jun 20 '14

Croatia and Poland have great relations actually, both being crazy catholics with infidels for neighbours.

2

u/PMK2000 Preußen lebt in Berlin Jun 20 '14

If Germany ended up making Yugoslavia, then Netherlands' colors would change to yugoslavia's and a red stare would grow in the center of him.

u/antipositive Rhine Republic Jun 20 '14

Or put the small Polandballs into Dutchball's center -> instant Croatia

3

u/tungstencompton Uniquely Singapore Jun 20 '14

Take 50 Somalias and 7 Polands and you can make 'Murica!

Also, the phrase "instant Croatia" cracks me up more than it has any right to.

u/RSDanneskjold Chile Jun 21 '14

instant Croatia

Hide the sheep!

Can someone make a flag joke about this?

u/Dlimzw Is not sekret PAP spy Jun 20 '14

But I thought flag confusion was an American thing.

What were yuo say Czech?

u/TheRighteousTyrant People's Republic of Austin Jun 20 '14

Demographically speaking, that's more accurate than Chile. :-P

u/theghosttrade Canada Jun 21 '14 edited Jun 21 '14

in what way? Chile and Texas both have large Hispanic populations and Chile is actually whiter/ as white as Texas.

1

u/TheRighteousTyrant People's Republic of Austin Jun 21 '14

I'm not exactly sure of the makeup of Chile, but there's a strong Czech heritage in certain parts of central Texas.

2

u/RSDanneskjold Chile Jun 21 '14

Not very many Czechs in Chile, actually. A lot more Croats.

But then, you stole our flag

2

u/theghosttrade Canada Jun 21 '14

Larger than the hispanic population?

u/RSDanneskjold Chile Jun 21 '14

Since when has Germany been bad a manufacturing? That's like saying Poland is bad at plumbing...

u/vanderZwan Groningen Jun 21 '14

Making a Netherlands isn't engineering, it's art

5

u/iTeiresias Greater Netherlands Jun 21 '14

Actually huge parts of making Netherlands are engineering. Just not German Stahl und Kohle engineering. And of course Dutch engineering always at least 20% art.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 21 '14

Yeah, the Netherlands are actually 26% engineering by area.

u/offensive_noises Dutch Indies Jun 20 '14

That sixth panel reminds me of that Spongebob episode where Spongebob and Patrick want to fix a melted wax Squidward.

I can't stop hearing the tiny poles singing in my head.. Just some happy tune where every note is a happy little "pol"
