i'd honestly buy it more if they declared themselves southern, at least there's something to go on there with 'we still kinda speak latin like spain and italy'

Tweet for context: https://twitter.com/alexsakalis/status/1683138115232313345 As others have said, they speak a Romance language, so grouping themselves with Southern Europe would make sense. But this is just pathetic.

Clearly the connection via Hungary is because of the glory of Austria-Hungary, therefore Romanian clay is rightfully part of Hungary. Nice of them to say so themselves. not being serious, Hungary can go gently caress themselves with their irredentism Private Speech fucked around with this message at 11:07 on Jul 24, 2023 |

Edgar Allen Ho posted:yeah this song is not about the beautiful taiga motherland. A few lines in the second verse are about Russia being pretty. Otherwise it's about how God told Russia to kick rear end. And always uses otyechestvo not rodina for gendering the parentland. Yeah, I guess people by into that stereotype of Russians saying "motherland" so much in pop culture that they think it's actually true, when in fact both are used, basically depending on the circumstances and context you are invoking the coutnry. Also, not a communist/post-communist thing, it's "fatherland" in the Soviet lyrics as well.

Platystemon posted:“No one can accuse of of bias if we let Moldova in.” Moldova's basically just the parts of Romania/Moldovia & Wallachia that Russia took after they beat the turks in 1812. Romanian and Moldovan have an Serb Croatian Urdu Hindi thing going on where the only real difference is the alphabet they use but unlike those languages it was mainly imposed by the Soviets to justify Moldova being soviet with little buy-in from the locals. One of the acts of post-independence Moldova was declaring Moldovan to just be a dialect of Romanian. And one of the big political questions in those countries is the possibility of Romanian Moldovan unification although its a minority opinion in both countries.

Germany is central Europe, but when you include Poland into central Europe, all of a sudden you run out of Europe before you have time to fit much Eastern Europe in so the entire thing ends up lopsided. If they want there to be more central Europe they should bring back Lotharingia.

Judgy Fucker posted:Considering no Australia, “Antarctica” may in fact be terra incognita australis Yeah also the fact that it's basically connected to south america. So I'm guessing... early-mid 1500s, it's about on par with the oronce fine map that does the same thing except I think his continents are a bit better, I don't think his suffers from post coital north america.

I am wondering why the cartographer has apparently confused Ireland with Ulthuan though. E: actually the entire med is hosed up too but yet still has the most detail... going to echo yeah maybe Sevastopol? It's the least wrong bit I guess.

I'm the Aral Sea going to fertilize the Caspian. Honestly that one's fun/depressing cos if you look on a modern map you're like "is that lake balkhash?" and then you think "oh no there used to be a big body of water east of the caspian, lol"

I'm saying Sevastopol, 1580 They didn't have complex systems for analyzing the shape of landmasses in those days, there was a lot of guesswork. It's common for people to "unspool" more complex shapes into straight lines, especially if you don't particularly know about certain bays or gulfs. The Waldseemuller map, which is the first recorded case of naming the new world America does a similar thing with north africa. If you don't know that Tunis is the same latitude of the Turkish coast, it seems like a simple idea that it's all a flat line instead of the whole mediterranean going diagonal.  Africa in particular has a tendency for a lot of pre-modern maps to get wildly wrong, because everyone back in the day all heard something about a number of rivers and lakes that don't actually exist that they regularly try to draw in.

That actually is interesting. There are plenty of Protestant supremacists in Scotland, but I thought they were usually unionists, just like their Northern Ireland counterparts.

Maybe he just hates southerners in general. Or prefers things that are generally north of other things. Ulster loyalist/Scottish nationalist/Juche admirer. "Anglicans are entirely too close to papists" is also likely, but by the time you're at that point it's not that hard to add like DPRK and Lega Nord.
