As an American, I know for certain it’s not America. I feel no need to continue this game.

But you guys could catch this opportunity to bring some democracy 💦, right after identifying it.
🫶🙈🥺🥰😍🫦💕
is there oil?
I heard they were thinking of switching to * whispers * “the comie” side :0
eagle screeches ominously in the distance
Fun fact: that famous “eagle screech” is actually a recording of a Red-Tailed Hawk.
Eagles sound like fucking idiots in real life
Yep they sound like seagulls
We’re off that. We’re already the global captain of oil now. If they got lithium deposits we’ll fight China for it.
No oil? No tacos? No point…
I have an app on my phone that identifies America or Not America and it says that is not America.
try scanning an obese person, curious what it’d say
I THOUGHT THIS IS AMERICA!
Don’t catch you slippin’ now
Look what I’m whippin now!
I think it’s the clitoris?
No, that would be outside the straight of Gibraltar. This is the nation of G Spot.
I’m pretty sure it’s actually The Republic of Prostate
It’s called The Human Prostate Republic! Read a book or something!
At least after the Human State Republic annexed Prostinia in 1991.
Ha easy! That’s Genovia, the country Anne Hathaway is a princess of.
I still fucking remember its goddamn anthem for no fucking reason. Can’t even remember the last time I watched it, but it must be at least 18 years or so.
Read this comment with the SO over my shoulder and we both go in unison 🎵GEEEEENOOOOOVIAAAAAAA 🎵😂😭😂😭
It’s too similar to the Canadian anthem. Every time that plays my brain goes
Hail hail Genovia! A land I didn’t maaake up!
The princess is Mia Thermopolis
Famous for their pears
Maybe this is this Yugoslavia I’ve been hearing about. I can never find it on the map.
Yugothesenuts got em
Yougoslobmynuts HA
I’ll give you a nickel if you say it out loud.
U.S. Ambassador To Bulungi Suspected Of Making Country Up
https://theonion.com/u-s-ambassador-to-bulungi-suspected-of-making-country-1819564610/
That is a very old article, i had no idea the onion had existed that long.
The fact that blew my mind is, they were a print publication long before they were online.
They’re starting to print them again I think
Apparently yes: https://membership.theonion.com/
I’ve always wanted to have a physical copy and apparently through this weekend they have 1y for $60, so fuck it, signed up. It sounds like they just restarted offering the print version? Message post-signup says start sending them for the Oct issue.
I use to get the actual newspaper in the early 2000s, I miss those days
They were free! You could just take them! It was amazing!
See parent comment, they are back :o
U.S. Shocked Andorra Not In Africa
Few have talked about the Irafi miracle:
Okay so geography is my second worst subject, but I’m about 60% sure that’s not real.

So New Zealand then? Got it!

That’s the fucking Feywild, bro. Those borders aren’t going to stay where they’re at. France needs to look out.
Makes me think of The Fractured Europe series
I mean, you made up a whole continent. Why stop there?
Sprance, duh!
Oh I thought it was Frain
Guys, guys, it’s clearly Fronaco!
Fronaco, Enclave of Mance
France, I’m so sorry about your cancer diagnosis.
Oh that’s easy. Connecticut
Monaco got stung by a wasp.
that’s the holy roman empire
Exactly.
You can tell this by it not being holy, not Roman, or an empire. It’s just their thing.
The real secret european country. We just didn’t unlock it (Yet). Be a man and don’t look it up.
It’s a Russian enclave, but I don’t know what it’s called without looking it up. I’ll be the first to say “Oooooh right” when someone does post the name.
Akshually it’s a Russian exclave. That means it’s disconnected from the main part of Russia. An enclave is like Vatican city which is totally surrounded by Italy. 🤓🤓
Isn’t the Vatican a “country” with exactly one citizen?
There’s a bunch of staff there too. Wikipedia cites an estimate of 764 people.
Having been there, that’s a lot less than I would have imagined it to be. But that means nothing.
I mean, there may also be plenty of non-citizens there at any given time.
Mr. Vatican VII
Kaliningrad
Oooooh right
Ooooh right
I said “Oooooh right” before you. What now, buddy?
The guy’s clearly a fraud
Oh it is on!!!
New Prussia
occupied Koenigsberg?
I cheated and looked up a map of Europe, and that country is named “Russia”. Haha!
So, pre WWII that was more-or-less East Prussia. Does anybody know how Russian it is these days, in terms of language and culture? Is there any remaining hint of Prussianness vs Russianness? I would think that having no land route connecting it to the rest of Moscow might result in it having its own identity. But, I don’t know enough about its history to know if any of the people there feel a connection to the pre-WWII identity.
OTOH, sometimes you get the opposite effect, like people in the Falkland Islands feeling even stronger connections to Britain than a lot of the people actually living in the British Isles.
Also, since it’s the home of the Black Sea fleet, I imagine that means a lot of Russians in the navy moving there, which would tend to exert a strong Russian cultural influence on the area.
Well all inhabitants were pretty much thrown out or fled to Germany in fear of persecution. Then Stalin filled it up with ethnic Russians.
They do have their own identity afaik, but it stems more from the connections they made with the neighbours: Lithuania and Poland.
I don’t know how deep it goes, but Kaliningraders were more against the war as it inconvenienced them in doing their shopping in Lithuania.
Btw it’s only half of East Prussia, the southern half was given to Poland.
Königsberg
Samland
This is Medici, where they speak Interligua, a sort of blend of Spanish, Catalan, French, and Italian and where the world’s largest natural source of bavarium was found. I remember reading about the revolution a few years ago that ousted the dictatorship that got powerful on the back of Bavarium mining. The US was caught blatantly supporting both sides, but the revolutionaries won and now they are a democracy again.
Bavarium for making donut filling right?
Sounds ripe for liberation
