>The perfect Europe does not exi--!!!
Thoughts? It is my personal belief that the smaller a country is the more valued the individual is and the more power he has to influence government to ensure his values are upheld which he shares with his immediate community and maintaining social Harmony.
A big country like the united States has constant conflict between the religious more conservative south + Midwest and the more progressive coasts + north about many topics like transgender people, sexual orientation, religion, laws regarding divorce, abortion, legality of drugs etc etc, all this fosters destructive discord.

That might be true but direct democracy on a municipal level can also achieve this. And it is also a common phenomenon that most people don't give a shit about politics and just refuse to engage in local participation programs - not out of malice but simply because they don't care.
>all this fosters destructive discord
And smaller states are easier targets for larger states or coalitons. There is a reason why all states evolved into larger consolidated entities.
Also your large Bavaria is cringe. If you go through the effort of balkanising every state at least create a Franconian state as well (plus the Palatinate).

except there will be always one country that will start taking advantage of this situation and eating up other countries, growing bigger and bigger, triggering the snowball effect and finally taking them all over
that's what literally happened after all

Not if you too have ballistic missiles to dissuade foreign invasions and treaties in place to foster peace between you.
The EU in itself does a fantastic job at making sure all members get a long and current western Europe is extremely demilitarized already.

This is what the HRE wanted. Countries as big as my backyard.

You're danish, you best square your ass down and shit me some tasty danish butter cookies and grow a bony cone in your forehead or I'll do horrible, HORRIBLE things to you.

such small countries are not able to develop and maintain expensive military equipment, that's the point

>>213903444
Fine then, create a a fair, independent, transparent international entity what all the equipment it takes to maintain a strong military tasked solely with making sure no country invaded another.

Nice map, I especially like Solo

eventually it will be back to being big countries because that's what inevitably happens in these areas
so fucking retarded

I mean, the current peace in Europe also hinges on everybody playing nice. But it does help that there are fewer actors than in a total balkanised world (and the multiple treaties and joint organisations).
>>213903223
Not every state would have the ability to rely on its military as a means of deterrence. Especially when it comes to complex hardware.
>The EU
Every member plays nice and NATO and the looming threat of the Soviet Union did their part in creating some measure of unity in Europe.
>>213903562
So an even more impotent League of Nations?
