What's with all the rare flags on such an obscure board? Turkmenistan, Armenia, Fiji, etc.

>>398

>Turkmenistan

This one is obvious: it's a literal shill.

>Armenia

Either a burger in Armenia or proxy. If proxy, I say it's Borat: compare the density of "kek" in their posts.

>Fiji

Probably a proxy.

>>399

I am not a shill and I am not scared. Communism has never failed and all the examples posted in this thread are merely examples of the failures of leaders who could not implement communism for they were too weak, too soft on the people's demands. They did not give the people what they needed but what they wanted, and this is the hallmark of a failure in leadership.

I like haphazard stuff. I think it would look much better if it had more tall buildings.

It's always disappointed me how flat england insists on being with no tall mountains or tall skyscrapers. We can and should fix that.

It wasn't so much stagnatiom as it was taking a nosedive and then recovering to a similar level.

To return on topic, I'm thinking about hiking to Mongolia more or less along the Russia-China border. How should I prepare?

>hiking to Mongolia more or less along the Russia-China border.

Good luck.

>How should I prepare?

First you must understand that what you're thinking of doing is impossible. Then you must accept that it's impossible and grow up. You can't hike from Kazakhstan to Mongolia along the border because the border region is very mountainous so you'd have to climb, as in you'd need all the gear for mountaineering and you'd also have to get a professional to go with you because it's very dangerous as fuck. If you are sure you want to go alone, make sure to tell as many people as you can where you're going and make sure they'll be reachable by phone if you get arrested. And yes, you will get arrested even if you have all the proper permits to cross the borders however you wish because the Chinese government gives no fucks. On the Russian side you can explain yourself away most likely since you're Kazakh, maybe on the Chinese side too since many Kazakh live there, but good luck if the Chinese Chinese border security catch you. You'll be handcuffed, thrown in a cell that's colder than Natalia's cunt and left there until somebody comes pick you up. Now that's the best outcome assuming you get caught. There are also Uyghur terrorists, and if they get you, you might just end up being held hostage or killed. Not only that, there are the nameless cannibal clans who will eat you if they catch you, most people consider them an urban legend to keep people from illegal border crossings but they're real. Hiking through the forested valleys by the rivers is not a solution unless you want your little trip to take a week, a month or even more because it's easily going to be 300 kilometres and you might get lost. There's no cell service a lot of places, no internet, you can't check Google Earth to locate yourself by landmarks as if there were any, and some maps of the region are not very reliable. Print a bunch of close ups of Google Earth, make them into a book and take that with you at the least. Also make sure you have a lot of water and food with you, you can hunt and drink from rivers but you shouldn't resort to that unless you absolutely have to because you never know how many animals and people have taken a Post too long.

Why not?

lack of a national identity across a huge population and land area.

so they've adopted a fabricated identity based on their neighbours history (russian imperialism or germany's nazi culture).

it's the result of giving one huge nation to several different populations.

It is important to differentiate between Islam and Islamism. Islam and Christianity are equally violent in theory, and in practice; what separates them is six hundred years of history. Islam came about later as continuation of the message of peace that Jesus and many before him spread; God does not make mistakes, but His message can, has been and will be twisted by people who want to control other people. If you claim that reading the Qurʼan is more likely to drive people into violent behaviour than the Bible, you may need to read your Bible again. It is an established fact that Jesus as a person, as a prophet, was more peaceful than Muhammed; but this is out of circumstances and the reactions of people to the teachings, not an indication of God's "flaws". God does not have flaws. God is perfect. You can say that people make God flawed, but God does not become influenced by people beyond His influence on people. He packages the message of peace in different packages that He gives to people, but that does not mean that the message has changed. The message has been the same since the beginning of time.

Now, people are flawed. Demons also influence people, they're masters at warping the message of peace into a message of war. That is no excuse, and anyone who says it is, is a fool, but you should not blame religion for the mistakes of society. Religion and society do go hand in hand, but not all members of a society are religious; even in the "devout" Islamic countries like Afghanistan or Syria, only half believe in God beyond their morning prayers, same as in Christian countries like the USA or Georgia; Armenia and Saudi Arabia are genuinely more religious countries, but by your logic it would be surprising that they are less prone to involvement in wars lately and, besides the actions of certain governments, have been throughout history.

I know you're going to dispute what I tell you, and simply call me a Muslim shill or whatever, but I don't care. I hope you find the faith you've lost, but I won't pray for you; I don't believe that people are supposed to pray for those who don't want to be prayed for. If you hate God, that's your problem. Don't make it the problem of everyone else by opposing religion as a whole. The vast majority of Muslims do NOT condone or feel sympathetic of Islamists. The impression that tPost too long.

Byzantines are a separate civilisation in Civ4. Same with HRE and Germany.

I use America if playing vanilla, but Chile if using mods.

Why play Civ when I can play paradox games where I can play like, any country?

I don't think that answers the question. There isn't anywhere near enough radiation for it to be even dangerous for travellers, only residents. The map is for travel, not moving to live in. If the same criteria applied for everywhere, then the whole Urals should be red.

what if the danubian federation was created then? would it have succeded?

>>267

…or is it the same thing as what OP said?

>>267

Danubian Federation is just a more modern / alt history name for Großösterreich.

The main problem here is the assumption that it would stay together if it was split along ethnic lines. The fact it, even if every single ethnicity would still support the Habsburgs, the now separate states wouldn't tolerate each other, and politics at federal level would be unable to work because division along ethnic lines was greater than division along political lines.

With the gradual elimination of other languages, maybe. If that happened it would have merged with Germany and that would be a monster.

How is that supposed to happen in a country with 20% German speaking, 20% Hungarian speaking and 60% assorted Slavs and Romanians?

I don't know. I went to a thermal bath once.

with the context of how shitty africa still is despite centuries of progress, one could easily argue that 'white privilege' would simply exist due to the current state of South Africa (and a few other African countries includes)
