What about Ireland and Malta?
Also English is the language of international business. It's crazy not to support it.
Germany is a technologically backward, conservative and anti-innovation backwater. From refusing card payments to absurd "privacy" laws (banning Google Street View and use of CCTV, etc.) and no digital identification, stopping nuclear power, etc.
It's terrible how much influence such a conservative backwater has on the EU, and actually makes me skeptical of the EU as a whole. For example, the GDPR is a nightmare for startups - where a few angry customers can cause you hundreds of thousands of Euros in legal costs and implementation issues. It really destroys the ability to iterate quickly.
