Wat if Austria and Germany merged again?

Well, yes, but the Balkans are a pretty small part of Europe

No; Europe is this small thing hanging off the edge of the Balkans (As many there will happily tell you repeatedly and loudly while rioting on the way to a football game)

Some damn fool thing in the Balkans happens all too often.

Totally unacceptable, you've gotten rid of the Netherlands. Okay I suppose we could throw France a bone and give them Belgium, I mean seriously who'd miss it?, but definitely not the Netherlands. :)

There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch!

In whose opinion? The Balkans have been very, very important in history (Rome, Byzantium, Ottomans, Austrians, finally independence and they're still getting screwed over by each other today!!).

They are as much European as someone in France or Italy.

Yeah, but that doesn't change the fact that they are still comparably small part of Europe
 
The black-white-red flag was createted as the flag of the Prussian dominated (Northern) Germany. It is an amalgan of the Prussian and the Hanseatic flag
 
Plus ethnic nationalism in Europe is dying in the first place

Unfortunately that is a fairly common and highly dangerous myth.:( There is a distinct danger that one group of nationalists [for the EU] and various il-liberal groups who automatically attack senses of national identity are helping the hard right. Coupling the growing frustration of many with an establishment that is corrupt and complacent and the hostility towards moderate national identities there is a danger that the extreme right will continue to gain support.
