From a scenario where the Saarlanders wanted to be their own state rather being French or German. Uses the combined designs of the post WWI and post WWII Saarland flags.

Why should and old german state be indipendant, instead of being part of the biggest economical power of Europe?

well when they were independent, they had a rather good sport team, and it is area where steel and coal was/is strong, reasons to stay independent, as reasons they were put independent.
Not sure about independence parties but, I am all for alternative histories and seeing however small it, it might change things.
And because of without them, Germany would still be the same, and with them, Saarland is just another face in the crowd.

ah. well I like the underdogs, and the smaller nations,. no I do not like Belgium, as of EU HQ is there, and they make everyone pull their hair out but, I like other small or micronations.

And thanks for not ripping my head off and saying I am against Germany, I thought that when you mentioned " number 1 European economy". I dated german girls, nice. and my gransdfather has a german family while based there.
I like history and "What-If's" even if when I make them, they probably not make much sense.
I.E. French-Danish Empire conflict with England.

I find also the German Confederation interesting, and that they at one point had like 300 minor nations or states before they started to merge and unify.

Of course not, even when you donīt agree in any way, everyone can have different views^^
I only try to explain what I think, and when you donīt agree, well then not XD

I think itīs because of our history, during the 30-years war, Germany was splittered in hundreds of states, it lost a hundred maybe two hundred years of development, while the other empires in Europe conquered the whole world.
And after Napoleon, it was the national sacred aim of all Germans, to unite at last in a strong Reich, and itīs so sad, that still after all that, not all Germans are in one nation, so I dislike the idea of even more tiny german states that are not united. The unique culture can be safed, also when itīs part of a bigger land.

Well and so I dislike tiny states a bit^^
