Should really be North Macedonia on there, not showing the proper respect for Greek feelings, can't have that.

e: We really should call England the Eastern Wales for fairness as well IMO, the English showed up around the same time as the Macedonian slavs.

This one is concerning. It affects everyone I know.

I find it interesting to point to different spots on the map where I was stationed in the military and remembering how much it cost to live there 20 years ago.

Are they really abandoned anymore? I thought gentrification has been a widespread and ongoing process for close to a quarter-century now.

Working class people are priced out of the urban core where young DINKs are moving in, and are getting pushed out to the suburbs where the lack of infrastructure makes holding job(s) even more difficult.

Just in the short term because of Covid. Long term it’s of course correct that the inner cities are getting more popular.

It’s also pretty difficult for a lot of working class people to afford a down payment and get a mortgage loan at all, which these ignore

This goes all the way down to basics. The valu-park of thirty tp rolls is 25 bucks and you have a kid and fifty bucks for groceries and gas till next check? You grab the four pack. Smart long term is hard and sometimes stupid from the bottom

Uhmm, kinda. Maybe more like if the Welsh demanded that England must stop referring to itself as being part of Britain and instead call themselves Western Angles or something.

Still the whole thing is very silly, revanchism past a 1000 years is a bit much IMO.

An exercise for the reader: using maximalist claims of currently existing nations, how few European countries can you get away with having? Claims may overlap (these are warzones) but all territory must be claimed. Europe ends at the Urals and Bosporus.

It's kind of boring if it's just claims based on a past empire or big kingdom that existed. I feel like it has to be actually existing irredentist claims as of today. With a cut-off that they can't be totally obscure and held by like 5 people.

Yeah, I agree with this. And also, Turkey (or Italy or the Vatican, lol) doesn't get to claim the Roman empire. I'm okay with Turkish claims on the Ottoman empire though.

Comedy option is Basque country, Hungary and Finland for the record.

If you add that condition, the question is really more about how many countries are fully claimed by another, starting from the total number of European countries and then eliminating a few like the Baltics and Ireland.

Rules lawyer option would be the full claims of the Union of European Federalists, which has at least 20 people.

More interesting one would be the Bonapartists, Reichsbürgers, and Putinists/Greater Eurasianists, but there's more fascist nonsense than maps for all those.

Last time I had a stoned geographic time I was watching TV and trying to figure out what the best world capital would be, based solely on location. I believe I settled on Dakar, which in hindsight seems a little Atlantic Ocean focused.
