    That’s Florin, it used to be divided by two countries, Florin and Guilder, but there was this horrible kidnapping incident which led to a revolution which merged the two.

    William Goldman wrote the definitive book on the topic.

    Ah, Khura’in! I admit, I was always curious whether the locals were offended by the way the Ace Attorney series depicted them as corrupt.

    This genuinely got me. I’m from the UK, so I know Europe roughly, but looking at the image I spent way to long trying to figure out what it could be until I realised it was a joke… I’m not a smart woman.

    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.

      No kidding, I’m tired of people acting like I’m an idiot because I don’t have the European countries and their positions on the world map memorized. It’s a continent I’m unlikely to ever visit, why would I need to know these things?

      “Europeans know these things about America, why don’t you learn them about Europe?”

      I never asked y’all to learn about my country. I’m not gonna judge you if you can’t pinpoint Sedgwick County, KS on a map. I live here, I have plenty of reason to know it. Someone living in Avignon doesn’t

        euro heads don’t understand the sheer scale and basedness of america, the entire american country covers the entire geographical region of basically ALL of europe collectively. It is quite literally a country on the scale of no other country.

        Except for maybe russia, but thats mostly ice so nobody cares.
