Altered Maps ΙΓ: To make a map larger than what it maps.

[Borachio]

Easy. Not a real Pole.

(Could be a German-Pole, or a... I dunno.)

 

[Heretic_Cata]

We can only hope the future leaders of the world don't hang around the internet much. Otherwise, Poland would be wiped out of the map. Can't you guys have a single "Poland stronk" thread and circlejerk there ? Do we really need pages upon pages of polish ultranationalism in every thread ?

There's already a thread for that, but containment failed long ago and its contents contaminate the other threads.

Anyway, a map:

[Kyriakos]

So... any cool maps of Westeros?

 

[TheLastOne36]

TheLastOne, you are such an unpatriotic Pole, I am horrified and flabbergasted that such a Pole can exist.

Unpatriotic? No, never. Patriotism is fine, Nationalism isn't.

I would gladly see nationalism eliminated from the planet.

 

[Arakhor]

Whereas the resident Britons haven't mentioned their empire's greatest extent, because that would be boring.

 

[Domen]

Nobody complained when our kangaroo mate posted a map of Germany extending as far as Moscow.

You only activated your aggressive rants when I posted a similar map of Poland-Lithuania. Nazis ???

Anyway, a map

This one is good, there is also a similar one showing Europe with Mordor located where Germany is.

 

[Borachio]

What exactly is the difference between a patriot and a nationalist?

And not at all the "done" thing, as you well know, old bean.

His name says it all. He... He's the Last One.

A bit off-topic: an extra-early congrats for 14k posts, TheLastOne.

Imagine someone's trying to make you read a book; here's what would happen:

A nationalist would tell you all the details, and once he did that, he'll repeat them until the world ends

A patriot would tell you - "Book's great, you would enjoy it.". And he'd leave it at that.

I'm keeping an eye on you. Something just doesn't seem right with this Polish fellow here. Something a bit off.


(As a total random aside note, if I remember correctly, you're half-Venezuelan, aren't you?)

 

[Domen]

Do we really need pages upon pages of polish ultranationalism

Don't forget about Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, etc. ultranationalism.

I have some Dutch ancestors so I like that map of Dutch East Indies.

(not that I only like maps of places from which I have ancestors, no)

Build gas chambers for nationalists. That's my suggestion.

[Domen]

Somebody is showing a clear absence of South-East Asian historical context.

So Borneo was not jungle and jungle ???

Russians eliminated the Polish Sejm and imposed their own political system!

No, no - Russia (not necessarily Russians) were restoring the old system against Polish attempts of reforming it.

Ever heard of golden liberties or cardinal rights (prawa kardynalne), and who was guaranteeing them?

Of course it was Empress Catherine the German who promised to restore golden liberties and cardinal rights.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Don't forget about Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, etc. ultranationalism.

I don't see tens of pages about those subjects. And it's quite bold to compare Poland to those countries.

 

[Domen]

Indeed comparing modern Poland to modern Portugal would be bold.

I see.

So, it's all in the quantity, then?

Nothing else?

 

[cybrxkhan]

Okay, okay folks, there's enough European ultranationalism to go around, but I guess we should have some more Asian ultranationalism. I present to you, the great Empire of Annam (yay Vietnam):

And Greater China! I don't see the difference with the current China:

Just kidding I do know the difference. Did take me a while to figure it out though.

 

[Domen]

I mean just look how much Poniatowski accomplished after the First Partition

How much did Poniatowski accomplish ???

He accomplished the dismemberment of his kingdom:

I'd say we're also missing South American nationalism; if anyone can provide any, please, share it with all of us!

Here you go -

Long live the land of the four quarters, Tawantisuyu!

All stand up for the glorious anthem of Tawantisuyu.
