The author disputes the Treaty of Versailles and doubts that it will bring eternal peace and prosperity.

The project gathers 24 European states under a single roof, as though anticipating the creation of the European Union. The borders of each country form a wedge, and all the wedges converge in Vienna at St Stephen's Cathedral; the capital is to be named Sankt Stefan.

The author of this European utopia, who remains unknown, recognises only four European nations: Romans, Germans, Slavs and Magyars. The nations are subdivided into kindred peoples, shown on the map in a single colour. The cantons, however, are not mononational, but consist of no fewer than two nations.

The map itself is an appendix to a rather detailed pamphlet, which explains it. The text proposes electing the president of this union for three years, with the nationality rotating. As for the colonies, it is specified that they are held in the joint ownership of all the countries.
