pre-saxon, so a bunch of Indigenous and vikings having a laugh

It's the central Europeans i tell you. The romans sucked, the Saxons sucked and the French sucked. Now it's all sausage rolls and racism.

Population aside it is a pretty nice island. Very green and verdant, several days of good summer weather a year. If you're a pre-modern colonial power there's alot going for it

Ah yes, the party with *checks notes* 6.09% of the vote and 7 seats in the Knesset are clearly role models for Kieth to aspire to
