Which in this regard is especially rich coming from someone named after the name for Japan (I think) in the Code Geass anime...

No... Not exactly. No more than Impressionism has a 'nation of origin.' It is an artform, a style, which happens to predominate the works of an area (and yes, in this case originated there), but anime is hardly entirely encompassed therein.

Sort of both.

He's supposed to be one of those 'first' presidents, that is he's the first President of India since it's independence that's not full Indian, as his mother is a Portuguese Goan and his father descended from immigrants from Bengal.

I was considering that.

The real reason I don't want to call it Balochistan is that, aside from the Balochi's their's a large Pashtun minority and a smaller (2%) Tajikh minority (immigrants/refugees from Afghanistan in the 19th century).

Can we please go back to maps?
Japan is a bit strange and that isnt helping the production of maps. This could even become bigger then Unholy Mistress ;-p

No, I really do despise anime. I hate every single anime creation. I just hate the style, like, really, really, really, really, really, really, really hate it.

Well obviously she has gotten into anime. Bad anime, that is, for she will never be able to acknowledge the sheer awesomeness of anime like Death Note, Code Geass or Axis Powers: Hetalia.

The map from my TL "Honor through Blood", depicting a world in which Germany wins World War I. I tried to make the map follow the Mitteleuropa Plan as closely as possible.

• 1. The Kingdom of Poland, ruled by Friedrich Ferdinand of the House of Glücksburg, crowned King Fryderyk Paweł I
• 2. The Grand Duchy of Byelorussia, ruled by Hugo von Fennigberg, crowned Grand Duke Stanisłaŭ I
• 3. The Kingdom of Bulgaria, ruled King Ferdinand I
• 4. The Principality of Moldova, currently ruled by Benedikt von Gorlitberg, crowned Prince George I
• 5. The Duchy of Wallachia, ruled by Duke Constantin V, a minor Wallachian noble
• 6. The Kingdom of Italy, ruled by Victor Emmanuel III
• 7. The Third French Republic, ruled by Raymond Poincaré
• 8. The United Baltic Duchy, ruled by Adolf Friedrich, crowned Duke Adolf Friedrich I
• 9. The Free Lands of Lithuania, ruled by President Peterlis Grybauskaite, a German-educated Lithuanian
• 10. The Wallonian Federation, ruled by Federal President André Coëme.
• 11. The Kingdom of Greece, ruled by King Alexander
• 12. Switzerland, ruled by the Swiss Federal Council
• 13. The Kingdom of Denmark, ruled by King Christian X
• 14. The Principality of Albania, ruled by William I
• 15. The Kingdom of Montenegro, ruled by Nicholas I
• 16. The Free Kingdom of the Netherlands, ruled by Queen Wilhelmina I
• 17. The Duchy of Flanders, ruled by Ernest von Swinemunde, crowned Duke Bartholomeus I
• 18. The Kingdom of Serbia. Currently under military occupation by the Austrians. Position for king is vacant.
• 19. The Khanate of Crimea, ruled by Mustafa Gül, a minor Turkish aristocrat with Tatar heritage, crowned Khan Ğazı IV

The Crown of Ukraine is ruled by Pavlo Skoropadskyi, crowned the Hetman Pavlo I.

Don't ask about that Crimean State. If I had a time machine I'd go back and ask the German high command myself. But as it is, I'm working on finding the answer to that one...

Yes. I meant her as well.

I was being sarcastic. I rather like anime indeed as trekchu has pointed out my username is what Japan was renamed to in Code Geass. Sorry to have caused any offense I shall edit my post to make this clearer.

I am a rabid One Piece fan, a remnant of my all too distant youth....

Poor Poland.
I hope the SGW will help the Poles in some way.

People might draw in the style, but anime is from Japan. It is just the new word for Japanimation.

But the art styles are quite varying. And not that unique either, just watch the Hobbit and Return of the King cartoons. Some of them look totally anime-ish despite only the later having gotten a little bit of money from some Japanese producer.

Peterlis Grybauskaite - is that a man or a woman, for starters? Because I think you accidentally might have messed up the name-surname thing...
