I am very troubled by this inaccurate depiction of...

Listenbourg

[-] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 39 points 9 months ago

Ah, the ancient country Spance, which sank because its inhabitants disrespected the mighty god Nuggan.

[-] Sanity_in_Moderation@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

What you just posted is an abomination unto nuggan.

[-] _cnt0@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

You are an abomination in the eyes of Nuggan! But, so are peas ... so, meh.

France 3

[-] Eagle0600@yiffit.net 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

We're genuinely on France 11 or 12 already (at least one of those was explicitly provisional, so let's say 11), or French Republic 5 if counting only republics. That's not even counting West Francia, which is essentially the same thing.

I'm an American who is reasonably well traveled (though I haven't been to Europe yet) and really wants to be less ignorant about these things than most of my countrymates so I spent a amount of time trying to figure it out before looking at a map and reading the comments. I did not. I guess I'm still that American. But I'll keep trying not to be.

[-] Balinares@pawb.social 9 points 9 months ago

Well! Thank you for being a good sport about it. :)

[-] MiddledAgedGuy@beehaw.org 7 points 9 months ago

Of course! The first step to fixing ignorance is acknowledging it.

That’s Rigel III, but it wasn’t always called that. It was the independent nation of Esperant before the Daystrom Institute was awarded the land following an extended military conflict with Staten Island 6.
