Biscaynia, also there's ALOT of fishermen looking for jobs at border checkpoints for some reason.

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 9 months ago (1 children)

What you just posted is an abomination unto nuggan.

[–] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

You are an abomination in the eyes of Nuggan! But, so are peas ... so, meh.

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

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 15 points 9 months ago

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.

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 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] MiddledAgedGuy@beehaw.org 7 points 9 months ago

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

Andorra if it was a real country.

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

i would say the not racist part of france but we all know that's not true

[–] arisunz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 9 months ago

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

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 8 points 9 months ago

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

[–] harmsy@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

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

You son of a bitch

[–] Hux@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 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.
