What country do you think deserves a wank?
- Thread starter Blair
- Start date
'Deserve' is ambiguous, but i like wanks of the following:
- The Angevin Empire
- Italy
- Japan
- Russia (I know it's big already, but still)
- Mongolia (Not the empire, the present day state)
- The Federation of Arab Republics
- Roman Empire
- Canada
- Brazil
- India
- Haiti
- Bavaria (even though I am Westphalian, I think Bavaria is the typical underachiever in German history up until the 1960s)
- Italy
- Peru
- Mexico
- Spain post-1830
- Korea
- Songhai
- Mongolia post-1900 (modern Mongolia)
- Bulgaria
- Sikh Empire
- Argentina
- Chile
- Samoa
A long list, but they all deserve it (and they are the ones I can think of at the moment, there would be a lot of more...)

That is the best idea. In fact, I feel a TL brewing.With the Isle of Wight, Hampshire and Portsmouth as a Solent confederation
Give them French Guiana and their Carribean possessions. Same with French Polynesia.
"retaining their independence" ?
when did they have it to start with?
I'm not sarcastic: it is a genuine question

Didn't last long though they have a Corsican flag at an international students group I know of so it couldn't all have been in vain. I figure that they can unify with the Emperor of Elba at some point. They may even expand into Lucca! Come to think of it the British also supported governments in exile in Sardinia and Sicily around that time, not to mention their possession of Minorca and the United States of the Ionian Islands. Might make a fun mixture.
Considering the words that Nappy threw to Paoli after the Sardinian raid blunder of 1793, I doubt it would have been so rosy.
(he was justified in doing that: he was young, hot-headed, it was his first military campaign, and it went horribly wrong).
Paoli was happily aligned with the Republic up to then, but when he was asked to account for the failure, he decided that those freedom champions sitting in Paris were not freedom champions after all, but rather wicked tyrants. (They want to put him on trial for the blunder he caused, so they must have been wicked tyrants, don't they?)
Since "freedom fighter" sounded better than "rebel", he adopted the former title.
From the english point of view, the word was spelt "puppet", from Pauli's point of view, it was spelt "avoid the probable guillotine".
"independence" does not ring a bell there

I am aware. Just checking as people always seem to think the inhabitants of the Appalachians were Neo-Confederate hill billies. Hatfield-McCoy Feud aside. Actually that would be interesting a history of the fueds of the inhabitants of the mountains during a Confederate "victory".
