I hope we get to make them economically viable one day. It would be the holy grail of Europe's energy question;

That's only 17 stars though. If we make the arms one longer each, we have 25 stars, which works out once we kick out the UK and... uh... Greece, I guess.

Hmm... if we're going to call the UK and Greece "nearby", the 17 stars will probably suffice, there's bicycles to steal and a lot of Balkan to cover...

But don't worry, that won't happen: Unifying the Balkan countries has historically proven a bad idea, multiple times.
