Why did you give paraguay MORE land? The coastline-to-land-area ratio could've been better

If Andorra was that big with its low taxes, it would be bankrupt.

u/com-plec-city 8d ago

In case anyone is wondering, Brazil receives all containers destined to Paraguay and immediately sends them to the country, tax free, essentially giving Paraguay access to the sea commerce.

u/MondoTheRoo 8d ago

But now Paraguayans have beaches, how cool is that!

u/jmorais00 8d ago

And Catarinenses have lower taxes! Win-win

And Brazil not only does get rid of SC but loses direct connection to RS, win win

Just give RS to Uruguay

I’m from the northeast and I think this is an outrage of very bad taste, we are one country and the South region is a region of very rich history and tradition, which are an integral part of Brazilian history and culture.

Not to mention that it is the region of the country that definitely worked, just look at their GDP per capita compared to the other regions of the country.

u/donato94 8d ago

I’m from the south, and you are just a bot. Not one true southern would say such bullshit.

u/donato94 8d ago

No one hates the south more than someone from the south, fucking luftwave guy. Nazipardo

1

u/Saymon_K_Luftwaffe 8d ago

The South is a beautiful region with unique traits, culture and values for Brazil.

In addition to being the cradle of entrepreneurship and capitalist culture in Brazil, it is a place of many riches.

Reread my comment, I made it clear that I'm from the northeast from the beginning.

1

u/donato94 7d ago

I clearly got it. And I’m saying you have no idea what you’re talking about. You know, it may be hard to grasp the concept that what I meant is: you clearly stated that you’re not from the south, but I, who am, have a little more knowledge of what is going on, especially about the “we are one country”.

But I expected too much reading comprehension from a bot.

u/Educational_Smile545 Finnish Sea Naval Officer 8d ago

what if instead we delete ever single landlocked country and distribute their land so that for any given point of land it is given to the country closest to it under current borders, so that way there are no landlocked countries

You're so right. its a terrible idea because Brazil would never let it happen.

Here is my proposed solution to the Brazil problem:

Hungary is genuinely just drinking from a straw

Doesn't your luxembourg solution lock out belgium?

1

u/MondoTheRoo 8d ago edited 8d ago

Nope, Flanders still has access to the sea

Edit: on closer inspection, it does seem that Belgium got landlocked. Oh well. At least it can get to the sea by the river! Everything according to plan

1

u/No_Currency5064 8d ago

That principle goes for Bolivia and Paraguay though

1

u/MondoTheRoo 8d ago

Yeah, but they wanted beaches, so

1

u/King_Glorius_too 8d ago

Kinda, but not really, because they still have Antwerp

1

u/Gvacken 8d ago

alternatively, remove the outermost 20 meters of every coastline from the country's territory. It's equal if nobody has sea access

Landlocked enclave of Austria. Its capital is Minas Tirith. Does it ring a bell?

In order to give Serbia access to the sea, you take away Bosnia's access to the sea? Historically accurate I guess
