in my head Belgium was up near where that little part of Russia that borders Poland and Lithuania is (I wasn’t thinking enough about country borders to realize why this obviously made no sense)
also, TIL about the little part of Russia that borders Poland and Lithuania
you’re thinking of belarus prolly
That explains the napoleon invasion of Bulgaria and then of Russia…
did you not hear czechia annexed it? it’s kralovec now
no apparently it’s called the “Kaliningrad Oblast”?
right but I mean I assume that’s why you were placing a B country in that vicinity in your head
pop off
have wonderful fortune
Regular day America
also re:kaliningrad - used to be called Königsberg, if that helps you any
not really, I had heard the word “Kaliningrad” before but I thought it was just like a random city in Russia
it ends in -grad!
Belgrad?

here I am labelling a blank map of Europe on Sporcle (disclaimer that (1) I just looked at a map of Europe and (2) some of these I only got by PoE (e.g. I had Norway and Finland backwards, so I was able to get Norway after missing Finland, but not because I knew which one was Norway))
as in, it gave me a country and I clicked where I thought it was, not vice versa
The countries marked in red is those that you couldn’t guess? takes offense in not correctly guessing Moldova
pronounced completely differently btw :)
yeah, red is wrong, green is correct
frankly I’ve heard Königsberg way more than Kaliningrad lel
