There's also a suicide mission available for whoever wants to inform the Finns.

Rules:
Don't be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.
No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.
We are agents of chaos I've created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named "mapporncirclejerk"
Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".

There is some truth in this. Many of us have slavic ancestry, especially those in the southeast regions. Myself included, due to my Karelian heritage. In western Finland it's much more rare.
Nevertheless, call us Slavs and there will be blood.

I can respect this kind of energy
And the Romanians.
The Balkans are quite Greek in their dislike for each other.
I didn't know that they went on 10 year warlord campaigns on the other edge of their region for the hand of a woman
To be fair to them, they probably forgot to write it down due to the excitement. Why use a quill to scribble on something when you can stab an eye with it instead? Much more satisfying
Macedonians are just bulgarians
Just slap a "first millennium CE" label on it and the Turks will have no legs to stand on.
The Finns won't be keen on belonging to the "Slavs" as well.
Suebi: lol
How about we call that quadrant Ottomans instead?
I see we have a volunteer for the suicide mission of telling the Greeks that
I think that's less risky, honestly.
until your water table is considered international waters
Non-Roman Romania
Poland is split into halfes between Germanics and Slavs -- checks out. France is split in the middle, so now paris is Germanic -- bro, what?
It might surprise you to learn where the word France comes from
EDIT: Also, interestingly, Paris is named after a Celtic tribe. Celtic isn't Germanic, but normally gets lumped together. Celtic tribes actually predate Germanic ones in what's now France.
Celtic tribes predate Germanic settlement in southern Germany and Austria as well. The Celtic culture also originates in the Hallstatt culture named after a town in Austria where salt mining has been going on since that time. The Helvetii were also a Celtic tribe in what is now Switzerland.

Yeah ireland would like to have a word
The Franks were germans and one day we'll free ourselves from "France" and re-establish Gaul
Who volunteers to tell the Serbians that they're Hellenic?
With Bulgarians it's enough telling them that those ignorant Westerners can't distinguish between Greeks and Thracians. Something similar could work with Romanian about Dacians. With Serbs I don't see this working - it would mean they are Macedonian, and I don't see how they could swallow that.
North Macedonia, on the other hand, will be thrilled. Greece will probably be upset about that.
Bulgarians are just macedonians aren't they?
Serbia and Greece are brotherly nations, both Christian Orthodox suffering under the Ottoman Empire, allied during most wars, etc. The serbians wont like being called greeks but they will hate less than others.
And we can always change it to "romioi", ie "romans"(of the greek variety, Eastern Roman Empire aka Byzantine Empire). The serbians and others in the region would be more cool with that.
Romioi is even used in modern greek(mostly in literature) as equivalent of "greek". Romaioi is the term for the Latin romans.
I see nothing inaccurate with this image
It got the grikoi right.
