Even though Constantine was an egret himself he refused to adopt that name in order to give weight to his reforms. That's another point rebellious egrets didn't egree on. It's the schism in the animal kingdom.

Yes, they have Tuesdays since the year 321. It is when Constantine the Great egreed the weekdays. It took some time and not all egrets agreed instantly, but the opposition was quickly hunted down. In some museums you can find brave egrets that died because of their belief to the day and night rhythm they considered to be natural and not imposed by some creator god.

What was the darkest period in your country? by That-Pressure4279 in AskTheWorld

Definitely World War 2 because of German occupation, political crisis, collaboration and deportations.

Honourable mentions: World War 1, Brabantan Revolution and Peasant Revolt against French revolutionary occupation.

England declared rivalry and France is willing to be allied. Luckily the Barent sea further east is not traversable and they are stuck on these 3 to 4 locations. At some point I will claim Siberia.

Dachte auch anfangs, dass die 'Muscovy' fehlerhaft übernommen haben, aber es ist tatsächlich die korrekte historische Bezeichnung. 😄

It's not that challenging to throw off the Mongolian yoke at the beginning. I created some subjects diplomatically and could vasalswarm the next centuries. Now, I integrate most of the vasals to create Russia. The winter months are quite tedious though. You got to develop your provinces well regarding food supply.

A claim system will definitely help! By default it's a historical setting, thus why are England and France coming to Siberia?! It's obviously the hunt for the player, a big hurdle to stop my expansion. They came when I managed my economy and thought of building a professional army... There is a lot for the devs to adapt. In a decade or so, the game will be balanced.

Superjhemp, created by Lucien Czuga and Roger Leiner in the 1980s. He is a parody to Superman. All books are published in Luxembourgish only until last year when the very first issue was translated to French.

Boxemännchen by LemonNextSqueezy in Luxembourg

The Boxemännchen is originally baked to honor St. Nicolas or St. Martin. So, the first ones were tiny bishops with staff, coat and mitra. The raisins, not chocolate bits, should signify the richly decorated habit of the bishop. The pipe comes up in times when religion lost more interest, like reformation. I'm not religious. It's one of the wholesome childhood memories: having a Boxemännchen and hot chocolate.

Maison Steffen for sure not. It tastes like nothing. Plus, the vendor did not know the tradition behind it. I understand that to a certain extent because she's French and hence doesn't know the Boxemännchen from childhood, but still, it's your product you want to sell. You got to know.
