Took me a while

 

[Takhisis]

And you're German…

 

[Kyriakos]

Poland cannot into set space.

 

[warpus]

Speaking of Germany, somebody made one for Germany too

I took out a symbol I don't like

 

[hobbsyoyo]

I heard the upcoming reboot is set in the EU-Universe.

 

[Kyriakos]

There is one film scheduled after the eu one. As a rule of thumb, you get a new film after a world war. This time it will be released straight to video, though

 

[Arwon]

Back for good

Describing that country as "Christian" seems... optimistic. In both countries a fairly bare majority, both in the 52-53% range (It's extremely close which is a fun bit of synchronicity), actually identify in the census as some form of Christian.

The "amazing" original is a bit small though

 

[warpus]

I think that's the north german confederation, isn't it? Correct me if I'm wrong, but when the southern German states joined in, that's the 2nd map i.e. the sequel

 

[The_J]

HRE should be the original

Yeah, I know, which historical entity belongs to which one, that discussion we have for millenia in the civ forums.

 

[warpus]

HRE wasn't really a coherent political entity, plus it included a whole bunch of non-German elements. Thinking about it though, I would have probably included it here.. but.... thinking about it some more... excluding it works better with the rest of the "franchise" IMO

Exactly ^^

 

[Kyriakos]

No, that's Prussia, two wars through the three-war unification... season finale.
The NGC would fill in all them holes (plus Saxony and whatnot).

The Prussia before these wars would be this one:

Spoiler :

And the actual original of lore and legend that should be in the first place as per the merits of this joke (-> your argument with J) would be this one:

You know, because the dude.

So, why was it called Prussia instead of Brandenburg, or something other, like the very original Prussia-Brandenburg?

 

[warpus]

We've all heard of Greater Hungary, but what about...

 

[Kyriakos]

I love how the smaller Hungary inside current Hungary is shaped as the Greater Hungary

Yeah I think this is a satirical political party in Hungary making fun of those who want a greater Hungary.

'Greater Hungary' is shaped like an Ohmu:

Prussia was in IIRC 1701 declared as a kingdom, which Brandenburg wasn't, and basically over time people ended up calling the whole thing "the kingdom of Prussia" because it was easier

 

[Arakhor]

Well, they were Kings in Prussia until Prussia's defeat of Austria under Frederick of Great, whereupon he claimed to be King of Prussia.

 

[Lohrenswald]

you may noticed I talked about the kingdom rather than the king
