Great Unexisted :goodjob: It'd be even better if you added the Blackfoot, the Sioux and Apache. But hey, it still looks wonderful :goodjob:

Russians of the Vanilla ones. The cossack rocks. :goodjob:

Conquests Feudalism is cool, but Democracy is the one I aim for using.

Yes, sure, but he wasn't Hindu, was he?! And if you've been to India, you'll know how important that is for the Indian identity of modern Indian Hindus. The idea of a "nation" is actually as old as history, it is not a modern phenomenon only. It arises when a culture feels a common threat. It...

Copernicus was born in Thorn. This makes a difference because Krakow was always part of the Polish heartland, Thorn/Torun wasn't. I don't think I see nations the same way you do. I couldn't give a cow how many states try to assume historical persons as part of the "national heritage"; but...

I'm not Canadian, testie, you moron :lol: Anyway, both North Americans and English people call themselves Anglo-Saxon, so your analogy is flawed! :goodjob: Yago, what you seem to miss is that modern states are just as fleeting as the older ones which proceed them. Copernicus may have been...

Do you want to argue or insult? If you want to insult, it's the easiest thing in the world to do, so I can do that just as easily as you can. Just what exactly has been revealed about my "ignorance"? Obviously something, since, obviously, you wouldn't have said it? otherwise? :p

Here is an old thred which has currently become topical once again. There are arguments on this topic that might be relevant :eek: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=1308205#post1308205

Since the topic has emerged as a news story, I thought that I really ought to revive this thread. :)

Actually, Italy and Bohemia (the Czech republic) weren't part of the original "Kingdom of Germany", although they were acquired by its Emperor. It's hardly meaningless. "Terrorist" and "liberationist" groups all over the world are currently fighting for the independence of their own ethnic...

Like Hitro said, Austria is not like those other places. Austria was part of the Kingdom of Germany. In the High Middle Ages, the Kingdom of Germany under the likes of the Ottos became so powerful that the ruler acquired additionl kingdoms like 1) The Kingdom of Burgundy, 2) the Kingdom of Italy...

Austria was part of Germany at that time. -1806: Part of HRE 1815 - 67: German Confederation 1938 - 45: Third Reich
