bateman-business-card impressive, very nice... let's see the Hohenstaufens' HRE

the best kind of medieval border-gore is when the same guy owns territories that aren't contiguous, just everything being exclaves within exclaves on top of other exclaves sicko-yes

[–] DerEwigeAtheist@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is only a legislative map (circles) of the HRE, not a territorial one. Which used to be different things, back in the day. Each circle had an imperial court of law. Which was responsible for disputes in that circle.

And then there's the spanish-republican vuvuzela-flag aussie-flag-emoji USSR, all of the LGBT+ flags, and a bunch of ones that don't show up in the search engine because there's just too many.

Yet somehow we don't have Norway!

Edit: if a burning Norwegian flag emoji ever gets added I want it to be called :nei-vi-hater:

Damn, Australia is particularly on fire.

[–] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Those bush fires were absolutely brutal

The Swiss should turned into Cheese...

[–] PsychedSy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

Sounds like a manufacturing issue.

It's only spent ~107 years as a unified country and caused so much of the world's problems. Hell the most unified was when it included Austria, which was a 100% Nazi time period. 1991 was absolutely the farce to 1871's tragedy.

it's pretty amazing that for all the many, many things she was wrong about, margaret thatcher managed to be right about german reunification. or at least not-wrong. combination of staunch nationalism and having lived through the war i suppose

[–] sinstrium@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

As if the UK is not amongst the biggest supporters of Israel lol

[–] mushroom@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

make no mistake - fuck the uk too. i just think it's kind of funny that thatcher knew that the krauts could not be trusted with a unified state of their own, even if she was coming to that conclusion from a different set of priors than we are

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thats another country that should be balkanized

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In one case (Northern Ireland) it's not balkanization, but decolonization

[–] HexBroke@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Scotland, Wales and Cornwall too if you go a bit further back
