@HansThorLief@Nakhthor i'm sorry, if you're genuinely struggling to understand that there is room between "set in stone original" and "making random stuff up every time" you're beyond help.

Italians know for sure that it's not
@marwood_lennox If you want to be ultra pedantic the correct word is neither merger nor annexation but "accession"; east germany voted to formally join the jurisdiction of the BRD constitution
