            London? Too foggy.

            Paris? Too gay.

            Rome? Too eternal.

            Brussels? Too sprouty.

            Berlin? Too Nazi.

            Moscow? Too cold.

            Madrid? Too full of bull.

            Barcelona? Too Guggenheimy.

                Frankfurt or Krakow would be better than the current Luxembourg/Brussels combination we have now.

                Think of the EU as the Fourth Reich...
                EU hasn't got enough balls to be a Reich.

                  But it does have an abundance of krauts.

                    I know! I know! Build a new city at the top of the Matterhorn to be the capital! Or build a city in the middle of the English Channel or the Baltic Sea or Lake Geneva a la Tenochtitlan!

                      "Paris? Too gay."

                      Yes, of course. What was I thinking?

                          Screw the EU as the Fourth Reich, put an eventual capital in Roman and call it the new Roman Empire . Eventual full-time presidents of the Union (it's coming) can be refered to as Caesar. The Parliament can be refered to as the Senate. It'll be all good fun.

                              Nope. Europe's capital should be on Pluto, Quaoar, or...

                              Europa! duh...

                                We should rename the EU the
                                "Heilige römische Reich deutscher Nation"
                                (holy roman empire of the german nation)
                                and move its Capital to Vienna (AFAIK the last Residence of the Emperor before the empire was officially disbanded in the beginning of the 19th century)

                                This way we could also have an Emperor (much better than a king like the british have ) although we would have to sight family trees to find out who the heir to the last emperor is
