I am very troubled by this inaccurate depiction of...

spoilerListenbourg

Ah, the ancient country Spance, which sank because its inhabitants disrespected the mighty god Nuggan.

[–] Sanity_in_Moderation@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

What you just posted is an abomination unto nuggan.

I just now realized I was justifying a 196 meme with a serious response. I need to go touch grass

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 14 points 10 months ago

i dunno, its kind of a mouthful but that is a pretty funny name for a country.

I was just going to say OP is a Basque separatist

Do Americans really not know about Gigandorra?

We're genuinely on France 11 or 12 already (at least one of those was explicitly provisional, so let's say 11), or French Republic 5 if counting only republics. That's not even counting West Francia, which is essentially the same thing.

Sugondia. The citizens are the Sugondese. Sugondese nuts.

I'm an American who is reasonably well traveled (though I haven't been to Europe yet) and really wants to be less ignorant about these things than most of my countrymates so I spent a amount of time trying to figure it out before looking at a map and reading the comments. I did not. I guess I'm still that American. But I'll keep trying not to be.

[–] Balinares@pawb.social 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well! Thank you for being a good sport about it. :)

[–] MiddledAgedGuy@beehaw.org 7 points 10 months ago

Of course! The first step to fixing ignorance is acknowledging it.

Bay of Biscay, I’ve sunk many a fleet here in HOI4!

United Kingdom.

🇬🇧 I may be biased 🇬🇧🫡

[–] arisunz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 10 months ago

We don't talk about that place. You will be intercepted for interrogation, please stand by.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 8 points 10 months ago

It's that country that is right next to Listenbourg.

[–] harmsy@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Foreskinia. IDK. Pretty sure there isn't supposed to be land there.

South Doggerlantica

[–] Hux@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago

That’s Rigel III, but it wasn’t always called that. It was the independent nation of Esperant before the Daystrom Institute was awarded the land following an extended military conflict with Staten Island 6.
