[Blog update] - Germany is playing an impossible game (EU)

Photobucket


Original post here, the translation is now complete. It's only a quick draft and I'm not exactly an expert on the EU politics, so I will gladly add a better version if you could provide it.

Thank you [livejournal.com profile] spaceinvaderdud for the help!


■ Germany is playing an impossible game

Photobucket

Germany let everybody rely on him a bit too much and is now playing a lost game.
"You have to help those who depend on you!"
"Good luck, Germany, we will cheer for you from the outside!"
And the like, he alone  is now carrying on his shoulders the hopes and expectations of all EU countries.

■ Target of the assault

Photobucket
Greece

Main culprit of the "impossible game".

The whole problem started as he joined the Euro zone.
Thanks to Greece, Germany had to mobilize all his resources, and he is now fully dependent on him.
Despite this situation, he's mostly eating good food, sleeping, thinking about philosophy and is generally happy like usually. 
Greece brings up old stories of how they used to beat him up, so he can be a bit difficult to handle when he tries to interact with them.

Spain

Real estate bubble is his main problem.

His house is full of beautiful places and the service is excellent, and thanks to that he has the world's second largest incomes from tourism.
He is very optimistic and when he sees the hardships Germany has to overcome, he sings songs for him so that he gets better. Germany would love to hit him for that, but that would mean game over, so he just puts up with it.


Photobucket
Italy

Poor fellow in an unfortunate situation. In reality, the GDP of the Northern part of Italy surpasses the EU average, but even being the secret top-student doesn't help him very much since he is grouped with the incapable lot.
From the countries presented he is the most favoured one and he is willing to work hard, so the fact that he still looks cute is mainly due to the buckets of seawater coming from his eyes.

Italy (South)

Spain used to take care of a lot of things for him, but after the unification his house is falling apart a bit. His bosses weren't really good and combined with other matters,  he lost his spirit and since then rejoices in indleness. Once helped, he relies on someone even with taking out his garbage.

Other countries

Photobucket

France

Lately the friendliest of all EU partners. He cooperates on many levels, but...
He can be quite stuck-up and stand in a way of a lot of matters!
The France-Germany tandem is a very troublesome thing.

Photobucket
Austria

A reliable country that likes to approach things with a sober seriousness.  
He approves of and supports lots of Germany's ideas so he may look like one of the helper countries, but in reality the level of his dependency is pretty high.
So high that when Germany catches a little cold, Austria goes straight to high fever and eventually collapses, and so he doesn't have much of a choice than to take good care of himself.
 

Photobucket
Switzerland

The forever independent country who maintains his cool air of complete indifference. His assumed safe capital attracts a lot of attention.
He will listen to those who want to consult with him their hard situation, but don't expect any consolation.
That he won't hang up on you is nice enough.

Finland
A nice country that is cooperating like an honour student with a permanent smile on his face.
Right now he is taking various measures to help Greece.


America
Maybe it's because he's still young, but he tends to overlook a lot of things, which in turn causes new wrinkles on Germany's forehead.

The Netherlands
Usually he is a pleasant coworker and a reliable business partner, but this time, but he's losing his patience with Greece. Right now he looks as if he would want to make Greece do somehtin
His showed his typical stinginess as he complained that the aid plan that Finland proposed wouldn't bring him any profit. (currently completely refusing Austria's plan)



Russia
Currently outstretching his tentacles towards Greece.
But if Greece would be won over by Russia, that would mean a new problem...
This is completely random but is it really true men in Russia greet each other with a kiss on the lips? Is that an assault oder what.


>Please add Hiroshima to your prefecture-tans!

Only Hokkaido, Chūbu and Chūgoku are left!


>The mochis must have been so cute as babies!

They were strangely cutely-uncute...

I WOULD LAUGH IF THIS WASNT SO SAD

I think it's not a matter of politics anymore that is the sad thing.
The markets are going apeshit and no one knows what to do.



Let's have a drink and keep hanging in there.

Damn it and I just ranslated an article about the economic growth in our country till 2012 this week. FFFFUUUUUUU.
And I still love the Euro and I love the concept of the EU even though no doubt not all is dandy but damn it with so many different countries how can one expect it to be T_T. We have to somehow sail this stormy sea because there is frankly no alternative.
I always love how some "experts" say everyone should just go back to their former currencies.
Oh yeah, that would work fast and fantastic *epicfacepalm*.

Just curious, what is the current proposed plan for Greece? And how will it affect Germany and France? I read something about the banks buying Italian and Spanish bonds a few weeks ago, but am not completely sure what that implies for the Euro.

hang in there! ;A;

I apologize for my random barging in on your conversation, but... I agree so much. They have no idea what they're talking about, and this statement is coming from a kid who only briefly studied economics in a unit in a consumer education class. In high school, no less. OTL Part of it is stupidity, and part of it is greed. And the news fails, too. Let's hope things work out for the best, no? =A=;

Lol, when din_84 said "hanging in there", I thought of those posters with the cute animals/person hanging on to a wire. XD
