Knock A Shining Dog

Microstate, ministate –  no asshole, Luxembourg is a humungo-state

May 14, 2025

Luxembourg is not smallLately there have been some memes and online discussions, not all of them kind and some full of ridicule, about the size of Luxembourg, with people sharing images of Luxembourg compared to Andorra, Malta, the Vatican – even a Renault Twingo!

Some assholes have the nerve to call Luxembourg a ministate, while others (who want to get a serious beatdown!) have dared to call the Grand Duchy a microstate. 

But guess what, fools? Luxembourg is way bigger than a ministate. It’s bigger than a macrostate. It’s a humungo-state. Don’t believe us? 

Look. What’s that inside Luxembourg? That’s France, the Netherlands, and the Great Wall of China. Did you like that? Want some more? 

Size of LuxembourgGuess what? Here’s Russia, North and South America, and Australia – all up inside Luxembourg, with room to spare. You can beg for us to stop all you want. Ain’t no one coming to save you. 

Luxembourg compared to other countriesTake that. All the planets of the solar system, and Luxembourg is bigger than them all. They’re nothing but specks of dust on our glasses! They mean nothing to us – as meaningless as your little map memes!

Luxembourg is not a microstate There’s only one entity that Luxembourg ain’t bigger than, and you already know who she is, so we ain’t even gotta say it.
