You won't be seeing northern Macedonia for long

How is the Balkans not yet reality TV? Untapped market for sure.
This is not correct. Prussia and Eastern Pomerania were not parts of the HRE.
And a question for Kyriakos. Why is this tiny island south to Peloponese part of the Attica region?
The map of London indicated that most of the Muslim minorities live north of Thames, most of the non-Muslim minorities live south of it. The French and the Lithuanians are north of course, but at the very south and east. Punjabis are south, but on the verge too. And there are some Hindu, Sikh etc Punjabis.
The map post-1204 is wrong. Venice never managed to occupy Rhodes.
I don't know all the details of everchanging posessions at that time in that eastern part of Europe,
But there was the Teutonic Order covering huge areas in Eastern Europe at some and varying moments. The Crusades to the far East of Europe.

I know well about the Teutonic Knights. But they weren't part of the HRE as far as I know. And even if this information is true, that would mean the map is wrong in two cases. First, Eastern Pomerania (a.k.a. West Prussia) wasn't part of the Teutonic Knights at that time. And in fact, as of 1224, not a piece of Prussia part of Teutonic Knights too. They came to Kulmland, part of Mazovia, at the invitation of its ruler Konrad the Mazovian shortly afterwards. So the emperor could the same claim Egypt as his own, but well, it wasn't under his rule. On another hand, a separate (later united) monastic order that conquered Livonia started out a bit earlier. Still, I have never heard it was included in HRE. And it is not part of HRE in this map too.
yes
So even if they technically were for some period, I do not think it played a big role.
I think what is important to outline, what you did, is that the traditional HRE was typical without this Prussian-Pomerian-Teutonic area.
That whole area pretty much neglected in many ways in todays international history discussions. Just like that Hanseatic-Baltic trade up there.

Ooh, edgy...
I'm surprised Ben Shapiro hasn't used that image unironically since it combines his two favorite things: questionable supplements marketed to stupid men and Israeli ultranationalism.
Since when do you read DuffelBlog, @Kyriakos?

Yeah, I know. I read the American military-themed comedy blog that served as its original source.As Lexicus said, it is an old pic

Nice map
The balkan-like background of Europe, overwhelmed by the traditional nation-states, for good or worse.
Belgium...
Here two maps of Europe showing how big that divide is in Belgium (not only the language divide of the North speaking Flemish (like Dutch, but more rich poetic) and the South French).
The first (above) trust in national government, the second (below) trust in EU.

I wonder how much of that is just the simpler hate of your current government as opposed to love of the EU. It's a further-away government so it's less intricate, less detailed, there's less to hate - it's not in the news as often with specific scandals or opposing parties.
