      It usually isn’t this bad with neighbouring countries though. The reason is the late unification of Germany of course.

        I’m not sure late unification is necessarily the determing factor here. e.g. look at Italy

          Sure, but Italy also has the Vatican in it, and I’ve heard that place had and continues to have quite a lot of influence… Also, Italy was unified one before, the same cannot be said about Germany. (No, the HRE does not count)
