    As an American, I know for certain it’s not America. I feel no need to continue this game.

    What’s with these posts of adding random bits of land to a map and saying “derp Americans “? Try harder so we at least get a laugh.

    This is like adding random islands in the ocean sort of near Australia and saying “derp Euros think New Zealand exists”

        It’s only a country in the vaguist sense. It’s a historical artifact. Charlemagne’s last gasp. It’s beyond funny that they have a vote in the UN, despite being effectively a tax haven and ski resort.

        It’s such a bizarre thing that Macron is a prince there.

        Akshually it’s a Russian exclave. That means it’s disconnected from the main part of Russia. An enclave is like Vatican city which is totally surrounded by Italy. 🤓🤓

    • merc@sh.itjust.works ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      So, pre WWII that was more-or-less East Prussia. Does anybody know how Russian it is these days, in terms of language and culture? Is there any remaining hint of Prussianness vs Russianness? I would think that having no land route connecting it to the rest of Moscow might result in it having its own identity. But, I don’t know enough about its history to know if any of the people there feel a connection to the pre-WWII identity.

      OTOH, sometimes you get the opposite effect, like people in the Falkland Islands feeling even stronger connections to Britain than a lot of the people actually living in the British Isles.

      Also, since it’s the home of the Black Sea fleet, I imagine that means a lot of Russians in the navy moving there, which would tend to exert a strong Russian cultural influence on the area.

      • wieson@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Well all inhabitants were pretty much thrown out or fled to Germany in fear of persecution. Then Stalin filled it up with ethnic Russians.

        They do have their own identity afaik, but it stems more from the connections they made with the neighbours: Lithuania and Poland.

        I don’t know how deep it goes, but Kaliningraders were more against the war as it inconvenienced them in doing their shopping in Lithuania.

        Btw it’s only half of East Prussia, the southern half was given to Poland.

    This is Medici, where they speak Interligua, a sort of blend of Spanish, Catalan, French, and Italian and where the world’s largest natural source of bavarium was found. I remember reading about the revolution a few years ago that ousted the dictatorship that got powerful on the back of Bavarium mining. The US was caught blatantly supporting both sides, but the revolutionaries won and now they are a democracy again.
