Give all Spain to the Basques, give all France to the Bretons, give all Germany to the Sorbs, and give all England to the Welsh.

Glad we included the free city of Danzig. Which has always been allied with the caliphate of Kent.

I like how Switzerland is not changed at all except instead of a confederation of states it has turned into a union of states, and formally recognized that Liechtenstein is part of Switzerland, which it is already in all practical terms. Liechtenstein can even keep its own prince; the canton of Neuchatel was part of Switzerland while also being a princely state until like 1848 or so. Also rip Voralberg.

If it really were a troll-map, they'd have split Belgium into Southern Flanders and Northern Wallonia.

Given the frequency of "Emirate" on that map, it's probably a racist troll

Dear jpg: why would you split Denmark north/south? We can all pretty much agree that it should be Jutland/Zealand. Funen and the other islands go to our side if we're talking economy and their side if we're talking culture. Also missing independent Ærø.

Funen and the other islands go to our side if we're talking economy and their side if we're talking culture. Is 'Zealand' the proper anglicised term for 'Sjælland'? I thought it was unique to the Dutch province of Zeeland (they both mean the same thing in their native languages, AFAIK).

Maybe the English were influenced by speakers of Plattdeutsch in the Danish case?

English just tried to futureproof the names, since both Sjælland and Zeeland will be land under the sea pretty soon. (It's weird that they use the same name, yeah)

So far as we know, Sjælland comes from Old Norse selund "place of seals", the "land of lakes (seas)" etymology is spurious.

The Zealand in New Zealand is from the Dutch Zeeland, which etymologically does mean "sea land" though.

I went to Sweden and everything was like in Finland except all the people spoke a foreign language, and it cost 5 crowns to take a poo poo.

Aside from the lovely dog-whistles, I love this. It is full of studiedly stupid decisions. It reminds me of the quip that "it takes a very good actor to convincingly portray a bad actor".

Literally every Swede on SA not from southern Sweden treats people from southern Sweden like subhuman trash in the SAL thread, so there is clearly a cultural divide.
