That land is shared between Monaco, Liechtenstein, San Marino, and Andorra. They all control all of it simultaneously. As such, everyone speaks Catalan, French, German and Italian (so, 100% of the population is quadralingual). Also, it's the richest territory in the world with a GDP per capita bigger than that of the rest of Europe combined.

So what's it called? Macroland (because it's massive compared to the micronations that control it). Also, everything in between the parentheses is part of the name.
Man, when I watched the first episode of the reboot with my kid and Josh called Steve and Joe and Steve talked to us, like the grown ups that watched him when we were little. I teared up. No shame.

That land is shared between Monaco, Liechtenstein, San Marino, and Andorra. They all control all of it simultaneously. As such, everyone speaks Catalan, French, German and Italian (so, 100% of the population is quadralingual). Also, it's the richest territory in the world with a GDP per capita bigger than that of the rest of Europe combined. Because of this, everyone is a millionaire, and 20% of the population is a billionaire.
So what's it called? Macroland (because it's massive compared to the micronations that control it). Also, everything in between the parentheses is part of the name.
