Had the Netherlands already started getting land back from water in the 16th century?
I think what @i_love_FFT@lemmy.ml means is that on the Ottoman map you kinda get France, and then directly on the coastline right north of France you get Jutland. It's sorta like if you took Europe and did a ripple cut to remove the Netherlands out of it.
Yup! That's what it looks like to me! After Denmark you get Sweden and Norway, and they're easy to close to the UK!
Don't underestimate the Wadden Sea.
Love how they dug a canal between Scotland and England.
It's called Great Glen Fault and it is almost a straight line through scotland, although way farher up north
Quite accurate about the land they ruled over and the Mediterranean as a whole.
Just compressed Belgium and Holland out of that shit.
Holland hadn't reclaimed its land from the Spatial Sea yet
I'm not sure why Island appears to have been hit by an asteroid?
Mate thats Ireland
I like how there's a lion drawn on the east coast of Greece
