Leaders of France, Germany, Spain and Italy have called for a European Union which allows groups of member states to advance at their own pace, in a joint effort to cushion the impact of the Brexit.

French president François Hollande hosted his counterparts on Monday evening in Versailles, near Paris, to prepare for a larger EU meeting later this week.

“Europe must be able to draw the consequences of the Brexit,” he said in a joint statement with the other leaders of the European Union’s major economies. […]

Advancing at your own pace is difficult with the currency union.

What about Lichtenstein?

Do they have to go fast or slow or half slow or half fast?

Always remember Lichtenstein’s motto:

“We’re Bigger Than Monacco!”

Liechtenstein isn’t a member of the EU. It’s in the European Economic Area and Schengen zone though, which makes it a de facto member to a degree; they use the Swiss franc as their currency. Being landlocked would mean that the German bloc would drag them along with their plans.

And yes, 62 square miles certainly beats 0.78 square miles.

I’m so confused!

They use Swiss French money and they get drug around by Germans.

What language do these Liechtensteinerarians speak?

Austrian?

Ha Ha!

I know all about the Allemann Tribe!

I know about the Vandals and the Lombards and the Cleveland Browns.

They speak German, and in particular the Alemanic dialect of German, which is mostly spoke in the German regions of Baden-Wurtemburg and Bavaria, parts of Switzerland, and the Austrian region of Tyrol. Remember of that Liechtenstein is between Switzerland and Austrian Tyrol.
PS. The demonym is Lichtenteiner. The suffix -er is standard in German. "Deutschlander" means German person. Österreicher means an Austrian person. Berliner means a denizen of Berlin or a jelly donut. Weiner means a denizen of Vienna (Wein), and other things in different languages.

Coming to a location near you;

There is nothing more beautiful than Paris in the spring time! Make that Paris in the Arab spring time.

PARIS AT WAR - MEDIA SILENCE - The Muslim Invasion continues.
