I'm an American who is reasonably well traveled (though I haven't been to Europe yet) and really wants to be less ignorant about these things than most of my countrymates so I spent a amount of time trying to figure it out before looking at a map and reading the comments. I did not. I guess I'm still that American. But I'll keep trying not to be.

Well! Thank you for being a good sport about it. :)

[–] MiddledAgedGuy 7 points 9 months ago

Of course! The first step to fixing ignorance is acknowledging it.

I just now realized I was justifying a 196 meme with a serious response. I need to go touch grass

i dunno, its kind of a mouthful but that is a pretty funny name for a country.

I was just going to say OP is a Basque separatist

France 3

We're genuinely on France 11 or 12 already (at least one of those was explicitly provisional, so let's say 11), or French Republic 5 if counting only republics. That's not even counting West Francia, which is essentially the same thing.

[–] HipsterTenZero@dormi.zone 2 points 9 months ago

my bad. France 3 2 then.

That is just the highest quality french TV (it's the name of the localized stations from the national TV, so you get a different one in each region covering local news).

Andorra if it was a real country.

[–] Midnitte 11 points 9 months ago

Obviously that's North Porulegal

Must've been one of them countries that was isekai'd.

Sugondia. The citizens are the Sugondese. Sugondese nuts.

Bikini Bottom

[–] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

That’s obviously Jeff

[–] arisunz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 9 months ago

We don't talk about that place. You will be intercepted for interrogation, please stand by.

i would say the not racist part of france but we all know that's not true

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 6 points 9 months ago

It's that country that is right next to Listenbourg.

[–] Hux@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 months ago

That’s Rigel III, but it wasn’t always called that. It was the independent nation of Esperant before the Daystrom Institute was awarded the land following an extended military conflict with Staten Island 6.

Isn't that Mandela's home country?

Tilania

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago

I was going to say Andorra after a bit of military adventurism. Could be some deunified fiefdoms after some billionaires bought land and noble titles. France doesn't take shit like that well. Spain may not care much.

It's the Kingdom of Biscay.
