I had dallasbullar once on a business trip, and got the explanation that it refered to the tv show. It's named a bunch of random stuff here in Sweden, at least.

Someone who was a second generation immigrant who had no experience of America outside the Poconos just named their pizzeria after some far away exotic land: Florida. They would've failed at some point but they invented a new fried dough and are now rich as balls. Never heard of this and I now fear it

Why wouldn't it count? Lots of people who work in Luxembourg City live in Germany because it's so much cheaper...although many of those are either German themselves, or don't have the Luxembourgish nationality regardless.

Luxembourg doesn’t count because even if the Luxembourgers are a plurality nowhere, that would only be on account of the nation’s size. It doesn’t reflect their good judgement.

Platystemon posted:Are France and Denmark two of the “Other”s? There’s definitely French people on the border, lots of them are my cousins. I assume the Netherlands border is just a lot less populous than BaWü or Saarland thus get fewer immigrants. It’d be interesting to see people born with two citizenships v actual foreign immigrants.

It makes sense that West Germany has a lot more Turkish immigrants than the East, since there DDR didn't import Turkish labour.

Despite the BRD making GBS threads on them non-stop a lot of them stayed after reunification. Perhaps a lot of them naturalised.

There is barely any foreigners in rural East Germany and the few ones that are there would be randomly assigned refugees in refugee centers. two of the biggest areas for refugee resettlement in the US are Erie, PA, and Bowling Green, KY. Putting refugees in the places nobody else wants to live is a time-honored pan-atlantic tradition.

Note that refugees in Germany are assigned to states according to a formula that takes into account the wealth of the state and its population. The former GDR states are allocated ~15% of all refugees in 2020, excluding Berlin which is allocated 5,14%. Those ~15% were enough to become the largest foreign group in a lot of Landkreise in the east. Where I live refugee centres existed only for processing and were pretty close to public transport within the city. Though afaik a lot of the more conservative states put their centres in the sticks (and wondered, like absolute imbeciles, why a lot of refugees went crazy being in some centre in bumfuck nowhere all day with no way to do anything)

I shouldn't be saying this because these maps make Flanders look really good, but there are of course several caveats. Mainly 1) it doesn't take cost of living into account 2) the produced wealth only partly flows back to the people who produced it :cryingmarx: 3) with some of the smaller, commuter-heavy regions, most of the wage-earners producing the wealth don't even live there. The Brussels Region contains some of the most impoverished municipalities in Belgium (Sint-Joost-ten-Node is the poorest municipality).
