Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence

A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.

Here we toast:
πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
πŸ§€ The freest of health care
🍷 The finest of foods
πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ The liberalest of liberties
🌍 The proud non-members and honorary cousins πŸ’Ά And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.

Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream β€œonly in YUROP.”

Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

Scandinavian banter 101:

  • When one country rips on another country, the 3rd country usually joins on the side of the offender.

Scandinavian banter 201:

  • It's usually between Danes and Swedes, with Norway either getting the popcorn or joining the offense.
  • We rarely see the Finns join in, but they're welcome if they want to.

Scandinavian banter, graduation:

  • Sweden is obviously the inferior country.

EDIT: But if anyone outside of Scandinavia were to mock, for example, the swedes, we've got their backs. I recall something said a while back when Sweden wanted to join NATO, and Erdigan was raising a stink: "Sweden sucks balls. But Erdogan can gargle more of them".

Just for the record: I know many swedes, most of whom are wonderful people.

Swede here, I don't agree that we are the inferior country, but we are absolutely the teachers pet of Scandinavia, and deserve to be mocked like hell for that.
