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:
πͺπΊ The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
π§ The freest of health care
π· The finest of foods
π³οΈβπ The liberalest of liberties
π The proud non-members and honorary cousins
πΆ 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 βonly in YUROP.β
Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

MODERATORS
The European Union, commonly known as the EU, is a partnership of 'democratic' countries that work together for shared political and economic benefit. All member states are bound by treaties that set out the rules and principles of how they will work together.
China, officially the People's Republic of China, is a country in East Asia. It is not a democracy; it is a one-party state governed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which does not allow for free elections or multi-party politics.
Democracy is predicated on the Citizens that have a right to all information sources, the right to skepticism, the right to error, and the right to dissent in all nonviolent forms.
The right to information, skepticism, and to error, is the right to communicate freely, albeit directly, public commons, or press.
The right to dissent, is the right to offend when it does not cause substantive harm to others.
Calling it a Democracy, while destroying the foundations is spurious nonsense. No one will make you a slave in name: "You will own nothing, and you will be happy about it." They redefine the word Citizen to be functionally equivalent.
