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

How big Brittany acted

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.

Froggerland.

Sugondia. The citizens are the Sugondese. Sugondese nuts.

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

I was going to say Andorra after a bit of military adventurism. Could be some deunified fiefdoms after some billionaires bought land and noble titles. France doesn't take shit like that well. Spain may not care much.

Nouvelle Aquitaine?

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

I was just going to say OP is a Basque separatist

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

Andorra if it was a real country.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

my bad. France 3 2 then.

That is just the highest quality french TV (it's the name of the localized stations from the national TV, so you get a different one in each region covering local news).

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

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

Must've been one of them countries that was isekai'd.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What you just posted is an abomination unto nuggan.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I thought it was the Curse of Goblin that sunk that land?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Obviously that's North Porulegal

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