Which of these five is "vanilla Europe"? Like, if aliens decided to make a video game about Europe, which European faction would be the "all-around standard European" one? Which one is quintessentially European?

The Greater Netherlands

I'd probably pick Belgium because it has traces of Dutch, German, and French culture.

definitely not Italy or Poland, its probably either Germany or France

Germany or France, as the most mutt countries in Europe.

>Poland is now more relevant than Spain

This is sad

germans

France. It literally encompasses most interesting parts of european history
>Early hunter gatherers
>Gallic tribes
>Roman Empire
>Germanic Frank migration
>Early Frankish monarchy, birth of medieval feudalism
>Defending against muslim hordes
>Charlemagne Empire and creation of Holy Roman Empire and spreading Catholic church power
>Kingdom of France, best example of medieval world
>Crusades
>Hundred Years War, best example of middle ages
>Spreading of Renaissance and spread of French culture which would become de facto european culture
>European Religious wars of reformation
>French age of Absolutism under Louis XIV and building an Empire
>Seven Years War, first giant global conflict
>French Revolution and spread of Enlightenment
>Napoleonic wars and growth of Nationalism
>Age of Enlightenment and French transformation from Empire to Monarchy to Republic
>Age of European Colonialism and industrialisation
>Revanchism and Nationalism and the Great war
>Social decline and apathy, rise of socialist thinking of 20th century
>WW2 "resistance" and Experience of totalitarianism and fanaticism
>Decolonisation and creating of European Union

>now

NO, that would be Italy (Roman history, Renaissance etc)
fuck off, france is a germanic spawn

iberians are moors thats not really european my wannabe m*diterranean friend

>Roman history, Renaissance
France literally has all of this and more
>france is a germanic spawn
>t. ostrogoth/lombard/frank/hre spawn

Italy becomes irrelevant post-renaissance

>french aka germanic mutt tries to appropriate roman heritage because some of peasants of his germanic kingdom spoke our proto language
o im laffin
face it, your country is a larping scourge of europe almost as bad as germans are
you always tried to ally ottomans and support their conquest of christian europe, you supported protestants and you eternally tried to larp as romans

pay up, asSpain

France is the generic europoor country.

when will poland pay BILLIONS to ukraine for occupying them?

ukraine never existed.

Im not french lmao.
I just see that France has every interesting moments about european history.
While Italy is always divided among foreign powers even more worse then Germany

>shit on french mutt
>he immediately denies being french
LMAO

England

>Read about Italian history to understand European history as a whole
>Reads about how Italins lost to abyssinian niggers
Woah... so this is best example of Europe...

>Poland and not Spain listed

Lmao. Slavs

whatever makes you feel better.

spain became irrelevant after colonialism ended

even poland is more european than moor-m*d mutts

Germany. It has been the test laboratory for european modernity for at least 150 years.

>poland
Just why
To answer your question, without a doubt its Germany

>even poland
sadly it's more european than 98% of Europe and i say that with a heavy heart.

fuck e*ropeans and fuck wh*Te subhumans

France without a doubt

Germany is the most vanilla. It had different languages, cultures, religious differences, art of fighting. All the other four have too much local specificities to qualify as "vanilla".
France and Great Britain however are close.

its not sad, just wrong

>make a bunch of haplotype maps
>arbitrarily pick the ones that fits the modern political map best
>arbitrarily pick the gene that is most prevalent in where you think is the most european place based on modern culture
>declare that is the "european gene"

Kraut autism strikes yet again.

This is literally England. Just replace Charlemagne with King Arthur

I am Russian so you can consider me an alien
when I think of Europe, Britain is first what comes to my mind, not G*rmanic barbarians

>anglo-SAXONS
>not germanic
educate yourself vasili

France, maybe Italy

When has Poland been relevant?

Poland has a lower GDP per capita and population than Spain.

i said fuck off you butthurt m*d-moor
spain is ZERO percent nordic, its closer to arabs than to europeans
fuck off

What you are saying is that Juan fucked your wife and made you watch how a real latin alpha male does it right? Sucks to be you

>spain is ZERO percent nordic
How much of a newfag are you?

>composite of Mediterranean and Nordic types

>Mix of celts, romans, anglo-saxon jutes, viking, normans and french
>60% of english language is romance, french in particularly
>m-muh g-germanism is still relevant

Probably Romania. Think about it: Dacian Warriors, Roman legions, Medieval Lords, Epic Battles... hehe, we had it all.

>fuck off, france is a germanic spawn
Italy aka Longobardia has nothing to do with the Roman Empire.

you forgot federal republic germans

>ITT: bunch of niggers telling each other how their country is the most white and ebin
[spoiler] probably everyone here is a burger [/spoiler]

You are just bunch of brown Gypsies LARPing as Europeans. Give us Transilvania back, cigan.

Spain got all that before france, you got ahead in industralisation, revolution, and eu

Honestly, i hate frogs, but i'd give it to France

Obviously France

For some reason Spain is like girls, it doesn't exist in the internet. For every Spanish poster you got like 15 Poles. Even Swedes are easier to find that Spaniards. Which is weird, considering Spain has like 20% youth unemployment, Veeky Forums should be full of Spanish NEET shitposting.

Spanish forums are huge on their own.Forocoches is just a forum for Spain (85% of the users are from Spain proper) and is the sixth biggest in the world

France or germany
But mostly france

Anything other than France.

That's because the French kings owned England for centuries.

unironically belgium

This or Vienna

>implying the listed countries are not all overrun with non-germans

King Arthur either wasn't real or was a shit-huffing savage.

France: A bit of celts, a bit of germanic and a bit of latin. Perfect middle ground

ZERO southern europe influence therefore desclassified

>One is very known historical figure who built Frankish empire and founded feudal system infused with catholic church, know as literally Father of Europe
>The other is some irelevant legendary figure, only known from celtic mythical fairy tales and only historical evidence of existence is writings of some monk in middle of nowhere...
woah...

Nah Englands the most boring of the five
Unless the aliens are American they wont chose it

>shit-huffing savage.

That dude is big!

Your most important king was a Romanian, and today you are basically a rump state. Go home back to Mongolia.

Was also gonna post this

No. The French kings fought English kings for their lands in France (such as Phillip II and Richard the lionheart), although they were technically French. Like all English monarchs they were foreign.
>Romano-British leader who fought against barbarian Anglo-Saxons
>Savage
Okay
>Irrelevant
Ok well let me know when you find someone who knows who Charlemagne is but doesn't know King Arthur
Protip: you can't

Netherlands + Belgium is where you always film when you want to depict Europe

Where?

Yes but the English are disgustingly boring in every respect

KYS stupid weebfaggot.

“What is a European? Someone with the industriousness of the Spanish, the sobriety of the Irish, the palate of the English, the sense of humor of the Germans, the generosity of the Dutch, the modesty of the French and the courage of the Italians. In other words, a Belgian.”
— Antoon Pardon

This.

Fuck you, England is, by far, the best part of Europe.

This is an anime imageboard, user.

Germans. They're the biggest economy, have much of the central land, most populated, have the most recognizable architecture, and since they rarely spread out German names are more recognizable. They even have a strong history of determining the powers and power structure of Europe (past the 600s at least)

Poland in medieval times, Austria in modern times since they stroke a fine balance between Eastern and Western culture and influences.

As a sidenote, Austrian high culture > Prussian autism.

Don't lump us in with (((them))). England is part of the continent of the British Isles which has accomplished more than all of Europe collectively

Moors didn't bred with locals and Iberians did more for Christianity and civilization than Poland ever did. The only relevant thing Poland did was to fight off the Turks in the siege of Vienna. Apart from that, polacks and slavs in general were just a underdeveloped nuisance to the civilised West.

>has accomplished more than all of Europe collectively
>England
Please. Compared to Italy you are nothing and you will always be nothing. R O M A N E M P I R E, barbarians!

Meanwhile in reality, Italy's most popular name is Germanic while France most popular name is Greco-ROMAN.

Only French and Spaniards are the true heirs of Roma, Italy is merely a mix of Goths and Lombards.

lmao poolacks had it coming

ukraine is doing worse than african countries.

lmao poolak subhumans cant even defend themselves against literal niggers
should have been genocided

France Germany Greece Britian Italy
That's 99% of yruop history right there.

Definitely France
there are so many spanish netizens that they make their own internet, sort of like Russians, Chinks, Japs, etc.
>being this autistic

>Meanwhile in reality, Italy's most popular name is Germanic

"The name Francesco is a Latin baby name. In Latin the meaning of the name Francesco is: From 'franciscus' meaning Frenchman. Famous bearers: St Francis of Sales who is patron saint of writers, St Francis of Assisi who founded the Franciscan order of friars, navigator Sir Francis Drake, and philosopher Francis Bacon." t.google

>Only French and Spaniards are the true heirs of Roma

meanwhile their most popular name is (((daniel)))

"Daniel is a masculine given name and a surname of Hebrew origin. It means, "God is my judge", and derives from two early biblical figures, primary among them Daniel from the Book of Daniel. It is a common given name for males, and is also used as a surname."t.google again

As a Briton, probably France with maybe some minor influences from the others.

Fuck off back to pol, animal!

The region of Alsace-Lorraine/Elsaß-Lothringen on the German-French border.

>vanilla europe
>modern states

Definitely France.
