I'm unreasonably upset you added a "u" to iqeland.

Also in Icelandic!

In Ireland it's Éire, while Iceland is An Íoslainn, so it doesn't really work 😕

Not in Dutch however. There it's IJsland and Ierland. You'll have to go through several more character shufflings to make it.

Onward, men! Full sails to the horizon! On my oath, we'll make it to Ikeland by morning!

Oh, there will be Ikes as far as the eye can see, I tell you! Tall Ikes, short Ikes, God-fearing Ikes! Our coffers will overflow with the abundance of Ikes!

You who would doubt me, who would claim the impossibility of such a paradise, you cowards who hide from ambition and surround yourselves with the petty offerings of Steve Island or David Cove, why you would not know how to handle the Ikes of Ikeland!

But I am a man of greater mettle, and I will know this new land.

Raise the anchor. The Ikes await.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

I like Ike.
