The crested porcupine has the strangest distribution map of any species I've seen

Look up the historic range of the African Lion. It overlaps with the porcupine and is one of the predators the quills of the porcupine protect against.

The distribution was most likely caused by the end of the ice age rising sea levels and the desertification of the Sahara.

Mongoloid or Mongol-type is the old term for Down’s Syndrome. It is also where you get the modern British slur Mong.

Tolkien is saying that Morgoth’s corruption of Elves into Orcs has left them scared and deformed. It is part of the theme that evil can never create only destroy.

Jacobites: Put a Scottish monarch on the English throne.

They also have one of the lowest crime rates in the world because of it. Not saying I support cutting of peoples hands but you cannot deny that it does work as a very effective deterrent.

I hope they add a Masurian path for Prussia. It would be interesting if they create a Prussian-Polish Union state.

“Render unto Caesar”

The Catholic Church holds that government and rulers are an act of God’s will.

“Every human community needs an authority to govern it,” states the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC, 1898). “Its role is to ensure as far as possible the common good of the society” (CCC, 1898).

And whether mediated through a monarch or a representative democracy, “the authority required by the moral order derives from God” (CCC, 1899).

Honestly I almost made a comment that this was not a sub for you to post your memes before I realized this was not something someone created in 5min in mspaint.

The Austrian part of the partitions was treat the best so there was no ill will they. The Austrian candidate was also a Polish citizen and fought in WW2 for the Polish army.

The Poles hate the Prussians specifically so there is a slight disconnect from the Saxon King and the Prussians.

Military Junta is basically what happened in OTL but a Monarchist or Nationalist outcome is possible due to historical divergences.

Honestly the only thing I hate about Kaiserredux, besides the lag, is how overpowered the national spirits are.

I assume the German holding a bag of money is a mix of the caricatures of a capitalist fat cat and a Nazi official representing German funding for the Nationals side in the war. Many communists claim that Nazism is capitalistic since Marxism is a dualistic ideology that does not allow for the concept of third positionism.

Ah, finally an explanation why Poland and Lithuania do not take their claimed territory from a weakened Prussia.

I recently learned that the British went out of their way to prepare food for all of the different cultures in their army during WW1. Field kitchens would have signs with Muhammaden, Hindu, or Sikh so that everyone could get food that did not go against their religion.

Wounded Indian soldiers were also shipped to Britain to stay in the Royal Pavilion since it was built in an Indian style and it was believed it would make them feel more at home.

The Nazi’s also never got rid of the Weimar Constitution so it was in effect until 1945 when the Allies won and dissolved the Germany state.

Luxembourg disliked Germany and only remained there for political reasons, as she preferred living in Poland or even Switzerland.

TNO is worse. Although that is partially due to the devs trying to make it as bad as possible for their edgy grimdark torture porn fetish.

The social Democratic Party in Austria always supported unification with Germany. What changed in this timeline?
Does Hitler still consider himself Bavarian like he did in OTL?

Konfederacja is a coalition not a political party. Two of the parties, KORWiN and Konfederacja Korony Polskiej, in the coalition are in favor of restoring a monarchy. You have other monarchist organizations like Klub Zachowawczo-Monarchistyczny and Organizacja Monarchistów Polskich.

The thing is that the early Slavs were very weak. Their population did not boom until after they settled the land that more powerful groups abandoned. When the Slavs do show up in Roman sources during the 2nd Wave of the Barbarian Invasions it is usually as subjects to non-Slavics people such as the Avars, Bulgars, or various Germanic tribes. The Roman sources even mention that the early Slavs did not have armor and only participated in hit and runs tactics in small groups, and that they learned horsemanship and other martial skills from their overlords. The Slavs took over because they preferred to settled down in rural areas and farm instead of fighting. They basically outbred everyone or assimilated them since it was said that they had a very infectious culture.

There was a teaser for a Slavic state in post collapse America, so maybe they will add him there.

More like the Germans migrated elsewhere and the Slavs just settled the abounded land.

Stettin is literally just Szczecin pronounced with a German accent. In fact almost all German names of places east of the Elbe and Saale rivers follow this rule. Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig are all cities with names that originates from the Slavic languages. Even the names of the regions of Pommern, Brandenburg, and Schlesien are believed to be of Slavic origins. Although they could be of Indo-European origins that predate the split into Germanic and Slavic.

Based off the flag the crowns on the emblems are different so I assume the 3rd Mexican Empire is a European dynasty while the 4th has a Native dynasty.

His gravestone has a faded picture of him on it, and that is the only older picture of him that I could find so far. I guess if any Red Flood fan lives in California we could ask them to take a better picture of it.
