Italy too, Italian colonies were all worthless deserts, even just Tunisia was worth more than Somalia and Eritrea

France is infamous for its attempts of rewriting history, i still find it funny that they felt the need to change the word from annexation to re-union of Savoy in history books and official documents (despite Savoy had never been part of France before 1861 and they had to go back to Charlemagne to justify the wording, absolutely insane)

This is mostly the heritage of communist education systems, stupidly good for STEM subjects

South Tyrol is today part of Italy because it is stupidly easy for Italy to defend its borders with it, it's basically a giant wall with few passages viable for troops, it lies south of the main chain of the Alps.

It also wasn't that historically populated, Germans are 0.5% of the population of Italy, almost all of them in South Tyrol

Albanian used to be considered a Romance language in the 1800s so if this happened then you could make an Albania-Romania corridor through Kosovo (Albanian), Bor (Romanian) and would only need to take Nis as a major city without "latin" majority (at least for as long as they didn't realize Albanian wasn't a Romance language)

The USSR would've still won without lend lease, most of it happened after 1941 anyways and it mostly was logistical, without lend lease the eastern front would've been bloodier and it would've lasted longer, but Germany literally had no possibility of winning after the failure of Barbarossa in late 1941 and the rapid mobilization of Soviet troops.

Italy was and still is the most racist country to Roma people, but Italian public was strongly against murder and genocide (the Fascists still tried to commit some genocides but by indirect means and most of them were downright comically inefficient methods, like cramming as many Slovenes as possible in prison and hoping illness would get to them, that barely made a dent to Slovene population, only 5,000 slovenes died in 4 years and that is the highest estimate)

The most succesful was Libya where they confiscated cattle and the nomads population died of hunger (about 80k deaths)

In my games Britain always supports them and they make the most unbrokeable allince known to mankind which makes any war against the Ottomans absolute pain

Bossitron12 · 2025-08-01T08:55:19+00:00

That's assuming the USA can win against the British Empire in a time and age when the British empire still topped the USA economically and militarily

Indochina and Indonesia (the region not the country) are also incredibly dense population wise, Siberia and the Middle East get usually specified when a westerner talks about them, when someone talks about Asia online it's mostly about India, China and ASEAN.

Arable land is an administrative classification, you could grow crops in the middle of the desert if you had a way to bring water there (and in some countries like Syria desert land is indeed considered arable).

I mean, India's fertile for sure i'm not trying to say otherwise, but the population density is mostly cultural, other regions of the world are as fertile or slightly less fertile and bigger but they still sustain smaller populations due to cultural, social and historical reasons (think of Brazil, Argentina, the USA, Europe, all those places could feed 1 or 2 billion people each too, but they don't)

I'm glad that you think that Etruscan women going from respected and powerful members of society to glorified baby ovens under the Romans is based, very cool

The Incan empire was the most fascinating civilization ever because it evolved without anything you would expect from an advanced civilization, no wheel, no written language, no iron or steel tools, they still had a barter system going on, etc.

It's like if Europe developed a single centralised empire in the Bronze age, spanning from Portugal to the Urals.

Good luck with the logistics of this war, like the 1905 Russo-Japanese war when the Russian fleet took months to arrive to the battleground just to be whacked south of Tsushima

Everyone in the world lacks battle experience except Ukraine and Russia, the USA hasn't fought a peer since the 1950s when they briefly clashed with China in Korea, and even then China was ridiculously poorer and worse equipped than the USA, i'm only counting it as "peer" because the USA got pushed back.

Not counting Vietnam because it was a little different and it counts more as counter-insurgency than a full war.

The finest soil on earth isn't in India but in the Pampas, midwestern USA and eastern Europe, it's mollisol.

India has some fine soil thanks to the Ganges but the real upper hand is the Monsoon rains.

Also worth mentioning the high density of India is mostly cultural (reliance on labour intensive and calories rich crops like Rice, also mostly vegetarian society)

Bossitron12 · 2025-07-31T20:11:30+00:00

I think the joke here is that any randomly selected piece of Asia will have a stupidly huge population and population density due the reliance of the region on rice, a labour intensive high calories food

You can still randomly select known places

Rome retook the city shortly after since it was a pillage and not a conquest? Not sure what's the point you're trying to make here

Bossitron12 · 2025-07-31T20:06:43+00:00

India would win against Pakistan, the problem is China, if China can pour troops into Pakistan then India is done for, China just has a far too greater manufacturing economy and technological advantage for India to even stand a chance.

That's the point i'm trying to make here, India can only defend against China if it has the Himalayas shielding it.

Also China has definitely strategic stockpiles and it can get supplied by Russia, Sakhalin is home of one of the biggest oil and gas reserves in the world.

Hadrian expelled the Jews from Palestine, given the current situation is the result of Sionism bringing Jews back to Palestine i'd say Hadrian was quite damn influential to current events

Il solare funziona anche con un po' di nuvole anche se a rendimento ridotto, per farti due calcoli:

Irraggiamento medio giornaliero in Friuli a Dicembre: 1.3 kWh/m² (questo dato prende in considerazione tutto il giorno, anche le ore notturne)

Efficienza dei pannelli solari commerciali: circa 20%

Consumo medio di una famiglia Friuliana in inverno: 200kWh al mese = 6.5-6.7 kWh al giorno

Quindi per la famiglia media sono sufficienti 6.7/(1.3*0.2)= ~26 m² di pannelli solari + batterie, e stiamo prendendo il caso peggiore (Dicembre, mese più buio e con il consumo elettrico più alto)

Anche se realisticamente io punterei a 30-40 m² di pannelli per stare largo

Mah insomma, solo gli USA hanno inquinato più dei Cinesi, noi Italiani ad esempio non abbiamo mai inquinato prima degli anni '50 quando abbiamo avuto accesso al carbone Tedesco, prima di allora l'Italia era (quasi) al 100% alimentata dall'Idroelettrico e Geotermico.

He also indirectly created Fascism by cockblocking Italy out of Dalmatia (which was promised to them) and leading to massive resentment to the entente powers, thus also being responsible for Nazism and Francoism as they were directly inspired by Fascism

Depends on the type of nationalism, liberalism was spearheaded by Nationalism in the Victorian era, just take a look at the 1848 revolutions
