Altered maps

[Pannonius]

I'm proud to be from eastern Europe and Balkan. I don't know why some people have complexes about it.
BTW. I thought this thread was about alternative maps.

I'll stick to the traditional definition of Eastern European which is all of the Warsaw Pact states. Thus Poland is Eastern European.

The Traditional definition is that we are in Central Europe. it has always been like that before WWII. After WWII when we were absorbed up by the Warsaw Pact, we were called Eastern Europe, but that was then, Please start calling us Central Europeans again.

Also you western Europeans don't understand it. I'll try to compare, You know how blacks get all round up when a white guy calls him the N word? Well Eastern European is the N word for us. Yes it is that serious.

France was under foreign occupation for a very long time. So was Belgium and the Netherlands, and the rest of "Western" Europe under Nazi occupation. Italy is as corrupt, if not more than most "eastern" European nations.

Well, you cannot really compared the 4 years occupation of France or Belgium with 40 years communist occupation of the Eastern Europe.

 

[Gooblah]

Meh, point noted.

 

[Séamas]

And we Western Europeans also see you as The-E-Word because you speak Slavic languages, American propaganda taught us that everything Slavic = Communist.

(Oh, 700 years of foreign occupation)

Well I could if I divded the effect of the communist rule by 10 then we could compare them.

No, it's clearly about the definition of Eastern vs. Central Europe. Can't you read a thread title?

That is one of the most stupidest things i have heard. Since when does Slavic = Communist. China is Communist, Vietnam is Communist, Russia was Communist, Romania was COmunnist, Hungary was Communist, Albania was Communist, Belarus was Communist, Latvia was Communist, Lithuania was Communist, Estonia was Communist, Georgia was Communist, East Germany was communist, Armenia was commie, Azerbaijan was communist, Kazakhstan was communist, rest of Central asia was communist. what 800 year of foreign occupation? Do you know Polish History? Besides, the average citizens were not communist, only the govornment was. Also, You let the Americans teach you something?

Sorry, but one word of Eastern European = Poland causes the next 10 pages of Polish posts, All of you CFCers know that and i'm very dissapointed in you, all of you, for bringing it up knowing this would happen.

No.

Iron Curtain=Communist=Eastern European

Thats how its been.

And you really need to get over this self hating complex of yours.

Hey I have a better idea. Why don't you exercise a little something called self control?

 

[Steph]

Anyway, you have the real world maps, where you can read "E A" other Poland (and S T E over Belarus, and R N E U R over Ukraine, and O P E over Russia), and the alternate reality map, were you can read C E N T R A L E U R O P E over Poland, Belarus and Ukraine, with no visible boundaries on this area....

 

[Zarn]

Okay, so long as I get a nice really cool title and cushy job with all the perks like a CEO in a large company in America. Then Ill help ya to Europe.

I'm probably going to end up hooking up a lot of CFCers. I have governor of France down to three people, though. Don't know who to pick.

Most CFCers are going to want to do minimal work for maximum benefit. Someone is probably going to offer me 5 US dollars in order to become governor of Portugal.

Yes. iron Curtain = Communist = Eastern European between 1945 and 1989.

That's an error of logic. Everyone slavic is communist doesn't imply that everyone communist is slavic... but that everyone not communist is not slavic.

You're right to be ashamed of us for mentioning geography. We should have known you would do this, it is definitely our fault.

Lousy Eastern European Catholic Russians . . .

 

[Séamas]

TheLastOne36 obviously completey misinterpreted me, I was pointing out that given Anglo-American culture is dominant in Western Europe, its tenents were taken to heart. Do you know Irish history?

 

[TheLastOne36]

I DON'T CARE NOW WE ARENT COMMUNIST, WE ARE CENTRAL EUROPEAN DEAL WITH IT.

Nope. Not according to the maps I've seen. Germany and Austria is western. The rest are all Eastern.
