What was so great about her anyway

 

[Kyriakos]

Well she did want to re-install the Byzantine Empire. Her useless german-loving son ruined that plan.

 

[warpus]

Her butt. The answer is her butt

 

[Kyriakos]

^Not in CivIII...

Maybe in CivIV?

 

[Takhisis]

As you can see, we need more countries in the region.

New Yu + Megáli Idea, I suppose?

 

[Traitorfish]

Vive Transylvania libre.

 

[Takhisis]

And reunify the Romanian principalities while you're at it. Also, on second thought the colour of Crimea suggests that it is a Khanate subordinate to the Sublime Porte.

 

[Silurian]

The map does not show the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic.

 

[Dumanios]

Spoiler :

The borders are very rough.

 

[Lohrenswald]

what warrants these changes?

 

[Dumanios]

what warrants these changes?

I wanted to toss as many of these factions as I reasonably could. That's really it.

 

[Takhisis]

I believe that the Roman Empire is insufficiently sized.

[Lohrenswald]

According to Mackinder, the Earth's land surface was divisible into:

• The World-Island, comprising the interlinked continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa. This was the largest, most populous, and richest of all possible land combinations.
• The offshore islands, including the British Isles and the islands of Japan.
• The outlying islands, including the continents of North America, South America, and Australia.

The Heartland lay at the centre of the world island, stretching from the Volga to the Yangtze and from the Himalayas to the Arctic. Mackinder's Heartland was the area then ruled by the Russian Empire and after that by the Soviet Union, minus the Kamchatka Peninsula region, which is located in the easternmost part of Russia, near the Aleutian Islands and Kurile islands.

"Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland;
who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island;
who rules the World-Island commands the world."
(Mackinder, Democratic Ideals and Reality, p. 150)

The heartland and the pivot area is the same

basically if you control that (and aren't dumb russians lmao us westerners are so much more advanced) you control the world

It's distorted in its own way lol :/
