    1. If you follow the countries you almost always end up in the french/swiss loop. Or the Den,Nor,Swe loop.

    2. italians be like, “fuck germany if we move is to go to a place that is even more relaxed than here”

    3. I would agree but there is no way Italians would like to move to Spain. Switzerland or Germany would be a more predictable choice.

      I always liked following the chains here.

      Someone from Poland wants to go to Germany, someone from Germany wants to go to Switzerland, someone from Switzerland wants to go to France, and then gets trapped in a loop of infinity between Switzerland and France.

      Russians end up in Kazakhstan

      British, Irish, Maltese, Cypriots, and Lithuanians(!) end up in Australia

      Danes, Norwegians, Swedes, Estonians, Finns, and Icelanders get trapped in a loop of infinity between Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.

      Everyone else gets trapped in that loop between France and Switzerland

    5. I have found that there are loads of Italians in Spain, working professional jobs. It always surprised me. Italians, any particular reason why? (I don’t see similarity of language and culture to especially explanatory factors, as much of the rest of this map shows)

      as an italian that emigrated to switzerland I’m always baffled by the phenomenon of italians emigrating to spain despite the fact that there seem to be no obvious differences in terms of living standards, cost of living and wages between the two countries.

    7. Italy is wrong. Italians are not moving to Spain, but Argentines with Italian passport. Italy and Spain are very similar when it comes to economy, Argentines prefer to go to Spain because of the language of course.

    8. European countries: if I leave my country, I’m still staying in Europe. 

      UK: Let me leave. I don’t even want to stay in this hemisphere. 

    9. It’s interesting, as a Canadian, French is of course what we learn as a second language (if English Canadian). It was a surprise for me how much more common it was to learn German than French in many European countries, but it makes sense I guess.

    10. The longest path without cycles is probably Albania -> Italy -> Spain -> Germany -> Switzerland -> France

    11. So there’s a few outcomes. Nordic loop, France-Switzerland loop, Australia or… what is that flag on Russia? Kazakhstan?
