Yeah, Austria should annex Südtirol because they are just Austrians, and Germany should annex Austria because they are just Germans! And what's with the Sudetenland still belonging to Czechia? And like all of modern Poland was German land too, so might as well grab that! And Alsace-Lorraine was given to the French for no good reason too.
I feel like I actually need a /s here. But in making sure I got Alsace right I found out about the Alsace-Lorraine Soviet Republic which is pretty cool.
Factory workers went on strike, demanding higher wages; the Soviets (councils) raised wages by decree against the opposition of the factory owners. The Social Democratic Party leader in Strasbourg, Jacques Peirotes, then asked the French generals to send in their troops to restore order.
Why am I not surprised?
Edit: Also I really wanna play Hearts of Iron IV now...
Monaco and Liechtenstein really do suck, though, as they aren't so much actual places where people live as they are mere tax loopholes, which are literally independent by accident. Liechtenstein in particular is known as a hub of organized crime.
While you're at it, correct some other historical accidents like Südtirol, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Andorra, and Belgium.
Ditto for Republika Srpska, Moldova & Romania, southern Slovakia, Åland Islands, Gibraltar, and Northern Cyprus.

Obviously I am being completely serious.

I've been to Liechtenstein. It felt like an expensive tourist trap.
