France, the UK, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands and Italy have each spent a couple centuries having fun destabilising the whole world for their own gain.

The US was a bit late to the game, but appears to have caught up quite well.

And while in Europe these people often first set sail for the western Balkans, it usually isn’t their destination.
