Europe itself would look nice and orderly with some rectangles. Luxembourg can become a square! So exciting!
Reminds me of the guy who was deported for making fun of Luxembourg's size too much.
Judge: you have 24 hours to leave the country
That dude: I have a bicycle, give me 10 minutes
For reference, you can get from the center of town to the other side of the border in about an hour on a bike.
That's priceless lol, thanks for the laugh
You're very welcome 😁
Rectangles are nice, but our borders are more similar to african borders than you might think. They're still completely arbitrary grouping different cultures into countries.

But we have to remember hexagons aren't real, okay?
They're still real to me, dammit! 😭
Hexagons are bestagons
They are, it's science
But we gotta promise to remember borders aren't real
