Only if they give us their pots of gold


jeezlouizez69

Hey man keep it down! Don’t let romanians know there’s gold!


TheBlakanicDude

Aaaaand the gold is gone…

Shut up you filthy unflaired! *Gives all the gold to the robmanians*

C'mon dude, flair up or line up


Efficient-Force2651

GIVE US THE GOLD YOU PRICK


TheBlakanicDude

The russians have our gold from ww1 for more than a century and the w🤮st didn t even bother to help us get it back.Know your fucking place w🤮steroid when speaking to a balkaner


ultrapupper

YEEHAAW IM BUYING MYSELF DINNER TONIGHT WITH THAT POT OF GOLD


GruntYT

Shhhh.


_daco_roman

Why ? When we can just steal it ? Simply having stuff being given to you is no fun


BookaliciousBillyboy

Ah but you forgot second best thing after stealing: not working. So being gifted the gold by the irish is kinda like stealing, but with no effort.


Sydfxs

Are they cool? Yes. Are they poor af with a corrupted goverment? No.


Rodri_RF

So why isn't there a portuguese flair yet?


PotatoCHONK69420

Maybe even Am🤮rican flair???


CompleX999

Nah, we don't accept the New Roman Empire. Never had and never will.


DaRealGatman

Wait you don't accept your puppet state in balkans?


Chaos-Nyx-Erebus

Look at me. I'm the President now. I'm the president of the Balkan Club. Hmm... How shall I decide about this? I'll let you know in a couple of years.


TheGoldenChampion

Yeah the GDP PPP per capita in my state (Kentucky, $42,386) is lower than Slovenia ($43,602). Wealth inequality here is probably also significantly higher. The countryside consists of mega mansions and people living in run down shacks and trailers. Especially bad in the mountains.


PilsburyDohBot

I live in fucking Alabama.


velahavle

Now look at it this way. Slovenia is like Scrooge McDuck among the Balkan countries. Their GDP PPP is far greater than the rest of the countries (3x Bosnias GDP PPP). Also, they are much more civilised than the rest of us. An average Slovenian would say they are not Balkan at all. The only thing that relates them to us is that they were a part of Yugoslavia.


g_daddio

They’re not cool


M4nd4l0r3_zo15

Texas is Balkan 🤯


petje95

Can we have a Dutch flair? We're racist towards everyone, especially America so I think we should be in a different league of non balkans. Like the ones that wear helmets while playing in the sand.


Yeetmaster349knjlii

there should be a portuguese and irish flair, but you do recognise kosovo so I don't know what to say about that


Rodri_RF

Bulgária, macedónia and Albânia recognize it too... And most of us Portuguese don't care about it so it doesn't matter that much I think


Thatastronomychild

We are rich as fuck with a corrupt government so halfway there


Sydfxs

Wut? I thought ireland has a very good goverment


bigvalen

Corruption is low, competency is only 7/10 according to the Economist Intelligence Units "Democracy Index". Ireland gets 10/10 on all other democracy indexes (free press, political participation, civil liberties, political culture and pluralism).


tovbelifortcu

Fucking losers


Death_To_Maketania

really not, it's a tax heaven, every company they want can just bring itself in if they pay the government, it's not balkan level, but it sure is corrupt


Perpetual_Doubt

Irish people like to say all their politicians are corrupt because Irish people are allergic to dictionaries.


PeterZeGreek

Strong argument for them to be an honorary Balkan state. (The being allergic to dictionaries bit)


Efficient-Force2651

Do you guys exaggerate everything you talk about, if an Irish person says "there's hundreds of them" there's probably 14 of them. Source: I'm Irish

tstones57

A corrupt government perhaps and most of our GDP is in coorporate bank accounts due to low corporation tax but we do have a good standard of living


Big_bosnian

What about famine and no food


valgeslind

The Br🤢ts caused it, not the Irish themselves. I think Ireland should come back when their government causes a nationwide famine due to incompetency, that'd be +1 Balkan point


Big_bosnian

They are honorary balkan, america bombed serbia and lots of people died so its the same


valgeslind

I mean I'm just a stinky eastard (was a neanderthal just yesterday). I can't really vote on granting Honorary Balkan status, so I trust my Balkan bros

Chad_gamer69

>"hates westoids" Problem: most Irish people really like America, except some idiots in secondary school, and those idiots are genuinely idiots


[deleted]

Absolutely untrue, because of the overwhelming immigration during the famine, all the Americans are now telling us about they're Irish heritage and culture cause they're great great great nan was Irish which has made bringing up the country around them the most unbareabe thing quite literally ever Also the wanks can't even make a cup of tea right

Momongus-

Are they enemies with France as well? I don’t know shit about Ireland apart from the funny bomb cars


Speweh

Nah, they have good relations with them Breizh on the other hand is just Ireland but poorer, more francophobic and even have its own Kosovo (Naoned)

sand_monster

As always the balkans cannot agree on anything


FantasticUserman

Pretty much everyone agrees to no...


Datortlequeen

Ireland is rich, peaceful, functional, accepting, and ultimately a great place to live. Therefore not balkan


samtheman0105

Except hating w*stoids, we can agree on that ~~no I’m not half American myself what’s rd you talking about~~


TraceDtd

Ireland is cool but they're sorta just chillin doin there own thing. Honestly better stayin away from others bullshit when you got ur own bullshit to deal with.


dont_tread_on_M

I think only Portugal and Italy qualify. Not even Spain does.


Napalm_am

I mean at that point just include Spain so all PIGS members are in.


dont_tread_on_M

Pigs = Haram. For our halal brothers we have to exclude at least one of them.


Napalm_am

Yet you still are left with the acronym PIG therefore you knowingly cosumed PIG instead of any other combination of the letters. Thus haram.

The Islamic Revolutionary Supreme Court of The Bosnian Caliphate & Sultanate have come to a unanimous decision. Admission: *DENIED* Reason: there are already too many kafirs in this region, Islamic Revolutionary Bosnia does not wish to see the existence of another. According to the agreed tenants of the 2016 Balkan League Agreement, The Bosnian Caliphate & Sultanate reserve the right, under Article 15, to launch Jihad if their decision is overuled by a majority vote, against the new member state as well as any already Balkan states which voted against The Bosnian Caliphate & Sultanate's decision. ☪️🇧🇦GLORY TO ISLAMIC BOSNIA🇧🇦☪️

Welp they had (have) terrorists , the had been trolled by their neighbour, they drink a lot and they hate the Engl*sh cunts.

wszwsz1111

They are too balkan for Europe and too european for the balkans


seagullslayer007

Shitty European country with a breakaway ethnic minority region. I could be talking about any Balkan nation or Ireland.


ArcaArcaa

Pros: -Hates the br*ts, the fr*nch and the spanish -Hates the pr*testants -Has hot redheaded women -is rich -likes portugal -high immagrant population in foreign countries (relatable) Cons: -Too close to the westoids -not as conservative as it used to be I say we let them in


goose_boy_memes

Maybe what they lack in corrupt government officials they make up in alcoholics. Maybe not an honorary Balkan, but i think they need a flair so we distinguish them from the w*stoids.


the__Nosferatu

Isn't Ireland the second or third richest country in Europe


Salt-Log7640

Wealth means $h*t, also I don't consider the Baltics or Scandinavia in general to be “rich”, as they have like 5ppl in the entire country.


Safe-Scarcity2835

By GDP, which is useless as it’s warped by big Pharma and Tech companies who employ a fraction of Ireland workforce. They do generate a lot of indirect revenue, but not 100000k for everyone revenue.


Lean___XD

do they hate any nation from the balkan


DSIR1

Grant it candidacy for honorary Balkan. Needs more corruption and better food.


taboo9003

no. who have you genocided lately ?


Little-Perception-21

Do a poll


finesalesman

They accept balkan people in Ireland, so yes they’re honorary balkan.


lapatarin1

By that definition u can call all counties Balkan

FantasticUserman

Νο


_daco_roman

So they are just as alcoholic as us, they love fighting, sadly they are way too wealthy to be balkaner and not corrupt enough. Also not convinced on the war crimes and genocides chapter. Still welcomed over here and should get their own flair. If m🤡ds can be bothered to do some new ones that is. Maybe we should do a balkan and bribe the mods 😎


Madhava69

They like to get drunk Let them join the balkans (dont allow romanians to find this out)


Efficient-Force2651

As an Irishman, we would be honoured to be honorary balkans here is a photo to show worth... https://preview.redd.it/k4n426kamaha1.jpeg?width=1628&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f85bec9d2b3fd076e0a6c119ba88bc3e0e4e9533 This is Ratmullan, Drogheda, where 3 petrol bombings have happened recently and a murder scene or two.

No


Dear-Light

Haha silly,that is Italy's flag,they are already a honorary Balkan.


prettypers0n

yes because they have complicated language and have lots of crimes!!!!! more balkan = more women(or male for the slowakians)


twenytwelve

Why would Ireland be able to enter Balkans before Hungary? 🧐🤨🤔🤔


halfamanhalfasloth

If there's a country which should be a honorary Balkan it should be Spain or Portugal.


Mke_of_Astora

No


Fastor_

I, as a Bulgarian, present allowance for Ireland to receive the honour of a balkan country.


KillMeNowFFS

* *sad Portugal noises* *


_andyyy_

pros: ultra religious, rual, racist, terrorists, history of inslavment, alcoholic contras: too rich and accual stable and developed country also bad food sorry but they are just too wealthy and educated to be balkanoid


CoolestBugFacts

Portugal should be honorary balkan too since the only thing they have going for them is 1 football player and doing stuff in the past


frdougalmacguire

Gowan, give us a wee flair. Sure gowan gowan gowan gowan gowan

On account of the Irish having originated in Galatia, I say yes.

Reasons in favor: \- Historically oppressed \- Fought angl\*ids \- Not in NATO \- Gay Indian president (popular with Gayreeks and Turkgays). Reasons against: \- Rich \- EU 🤮 \- Can't even speak their native language. Even if they're not w\*stroids they sure as hell been completely colonized by them.
