As an American, I know for certain it’s not America. I feel no need to continue this game.

But you guys could catch this opportunity to bring some democracy 💦, right after identifying it.

is there oil?
I heard they were thinking of switching to * whispers * “the comie” side :0
eagle screeches ominously in the distance
Fun fact: that famous “eagle screech” is actually a recording of a Red-Tailed Hawk.
Eagles sound like fucking idiots in real life
Yep they sound like seagulls
We’re off that. We’re already the global captain of oil now. If they got lithium deposits we’ll fight China for it.
No oil? No tacos? No point…
I THOUGHT THIS IS AMERICA!
That’s Florin, it used to be divided by two countries, Florin and Guilder, but there was this horrible kidnapping incident which led to a revolution which merged the two.
William Goldman wrote the definitive book on the topic.
For everyone on here making jokes about this beautiful land, shame on you. My ancestors spilt their blood protecting the Principality of Pyren against the French and Spanish invaders in 1525. Shame on all of you.
I think it’s the clitoris?
No, that would be outside the straight of Gibraltar. This is the nation of G Spot.
I’m pretty sure it’s actually The Republic of Prostate
Aquitania?
France, I’m so sorry about your cancer diagnosis.
Clearly that’s Outer Spain
Spain’t
TIL France and Spain have a taint.
Greater Catalonia.
Sprance, duh!
Oh I thought it was Frain
Guys, guys, it’s clearly Fronaco!
The real secret european country. We just didn’t unlock it (Yet). Be a man and don’t look it up.
It’s a Russian enclave, but I don’t know what it’s called without looking it up. I’ll be the first to say “Oooooh right” when someone does post the name.
Akshually it’s a Russian exclave. That means it’s disconnected from the main part of Russia. An enclave is like Vatican city which is totally surrounded by Italy. 🤓🤓
Isn’t the Vatican a “country” with exactly one citizen?
There’s a bunch of staff there too. Wikipedia cites an estimate of 764 people.
I said “Oooooh right” before you. What now, buddy?
The guy’s clearly a fraud
Oh it is on!!!
Kaliningrad
Oooooh right
New Prussia
So, pre WWII that was more-or-less East Prussia. Does anybody know how Russian it is these days, in terms of language and culture? Is there any remaining hint of Prussianness vs Russianness? I would think that having no land route connecting it to the rest of Moscow might result in it having its own identity. But, I don’t know enough about its history to know if any of the people there feel a connection to the pre-WWII identity.
OTOH, sometimes you get the opposite effect, like people in the Falkland Islands feeling even stronger connections to Britain than a lot of the people actually living in the British Isles.
Also, since it’s the home of the Black Sea fleet, I imagine that means a lot of Russians in the navy moving there, which would tend to exert a strong Russian cultural influence on the area.
Well all inhabitants were pretty much thrown out or fled to Germany in fear of persecution. Then Stalin filled it up with ethnic Russians.
They do have their own identity afaik, but it stems more from the connections they made with the neighbours: Lithuania and Poland.
I don’t know how deep it goes, but Kaliningraders were more against the war as it inconvenienced them in doing their shopping in Lithuania.
Btw it’s only half of East Prussia, the southern half was given to Poland.
occupied Koenigsberg?
Maybe this is this Yugoslavia I’ve been hearing about. I can never find it on the map.

Few have talked about the Irafi miracle:
That is a very old article, i had no idea the onion had existed that long.
The fact that blew my mind is, they were a print publication long before they were online.
They’re starting to print them again I think
Apparently yes: https://membership.theonion.com/
I’ve always wanted to have a physical copy and apparently through this weekend they have 1y for $60, so fuck it, signed up. It sounds like they just restarted offering the print version? Message post-signup says start sending them for the Oct issue.
