I'm thinking that Germany & Netherlands maybe the only neighbors the French should want to keep divided in the near future. I don't see them picking on the British, Italians or Spanish while they are down. (We know from 2300AD that Germany is divided for 200+ years.)

I never really fleshed it out, but part of my T2K world always had Luxembourg as a hotbed of anti-French partisan activity. I've always had this kind of World War 2-ish image -- a French unit makes their way down a street in Luxembourg, not knowing there's a gun barrel in every window about to open up on them...

I'd like to hear everyone's opinions about how accurate the idea of the Luxembourg partisans might be from everyone.

Why not but not too strong. Luxembourg doesn't have any animosity with the French and you don't shoot at the guy who are putting their money into your banks (especially true for the Belgian).

Once, my uncle came to check on his luxembourg account, at the next counter was his tax controller also checking at his own account.

That is one of the few things I did look at -- then thought, "In T2K, what banks are there in Luxembourg?"

And I just thought about something else -- how much gold reserves are in Luxembourg?
