It should be put the furthest away from where people live, to ensure the provinces don't get dominated by the capital. Possibly a South African solution?

I’m kind of surprised that Luxembourg didn’t have a fascist / pro Nazi party, despite being a bunch of German-continuum people under the cultural sway and domination of a French system, and yet somehow tiny Liechtenstein that doesn’t border Germany and whose local language isn’t being deprioritized in favor of a foreign language managed to have a pro-Nazi party.

I guess maybe some holdover of WW1 with Luxembourgeois particularly disliking Germans? It’s kind of interesting that they did not get Anschlussed.

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.

Gundam puts the political capital in Dakar and military headquarters in the Amazon because of geographical centrality and the need to be on the equator to reach space easier

Well, he used to be an actor, so maybe there's some embellishment to get to that 169.

These aren't photoshops.

Sunak in any photos where he hasn't deliberately controlled the perspective looks absolutely tiny, hes probably about 5ft5 / 165cm in real life.

When did Oswestry stop being in Wales because I've definitely heard some people be unironically revanchist about that bit of Shropshire.

Croesoswallt was last Welsh sometime in the Middle Ages I think? It's east of Offa's Dyke, which means it probably was originally English (in the Domesday book it was considered part of Shropshire) and it seemed to only swap hands in the Middle Ages when they were doing all the fighting.

This morning I woke up, checked the map thread. Hahaha, I love that thread, perfect mix of informative and slapfight, with maps!!!! I thought

Instead I learned I’m shorter than every european leader except Giorgia Meloni

And that I match Vova, for better or worse

E: so like if the collective West really needs a man to stare him down, really gaze into his eyes on his level and show our power…
