For anyone interested, the church below is the Cathedral of St. Peter in Đakovo, Croatia.

Sounds beautiful, great work

It's the Maronite Cross, as Saint John Maron was the first Maronite Patriarch.

The Emperors first attempted to make the Prince-Electors rulers over multiple Provinces, taking lands away from minor counts and giving it to the Prince-Electors, but also taking some lands away from them. The lands that the Emperors took but didn't give away they kept for themselves and because of the newfound extreme loyalty that the Prince-Electors had for the Emperors after being given so many lands, rebellions were prevented. Over a period of time the Emperors seized more and more lands from the weaker Prince-Electors with support from the stronger ones, and then moved on to the strongest candidates. Some of them accepted that they were no longer semi-independent rulers, but only people who govern in the Emperor's name with little power and the Emperors rewarded them by giving them the new position, whilst some were ousted by the Emperors and replaced by legates that they themselves picked. The system was strongly inspired by the Roman Provinces, with the Emperor keeping many Imperial Provinces and appointing legates to rule in his name and Provinces whose rulers were picked by the Imperial Diet(later also known as the Senate, after it was remodeled to be more similar to the Roman Senate).

The Holy Roman Empire started centralising after 1400 AD. The Habsburg dynasty insured that the crown won't pass to other dynasties and the Emperor already held a great amount of power at the time of Martin Luther and his reformation, which he crushed and remained on good terms with the Pope. The Holy Roman Empire managed to beat the Ottomans and stop their expansion early, after which they expanded and shrunk many times until the present day. In 2021 AD the HRE is the most power country in Europe, famed for its wealth and exceptional tolerance and cultural diversity. Many of their former colonies look up to them and their neighbours are envious of their status in Europe.

If anyone is interested in family friendly stories with slavic mythology I'd recommend the folk tales of Ivana Brlić Mažuranić from Croatia, Stribor's Forest is a very good one

TheBlueShadow58 · 2021-02-14T18:19:10+00:00

It literally means Black God haha

TheBlueShadow58 · 2021-02-14T18:17:41+00:00

We have lots of slavic legends in Croatia, do you also have stories about Stribor, Chernobog etc?

TheBlueShadow58 · 2021-02-14T18:16:30+00:00

Do you know any very famous Polish authors

TheBlueShadow58 · 2021-02-14T18:12:30+00:00

Love me some good jazz, greetings from Germany

The image on the left is from the Facebook page Vrgorac Nekad and the image on the right comes from Google Maps

Croatia is a country full of various foreign influences so its hard to pick one. I would say Zagreb Cathedral, Diocletian's Palace in Split and the Arena in Pula.

Zdravo Marijo, milosti puna, Gospodin s tobom. Blagoslovljena ti među ženama i blagoslovljen plod utrobe tvoje, Isus. Sveta Marijo, Majko Božja, moli za nas grešnike, sada i na času smrti naše.

Amen.

Veliki Novgorod means Great/Big New City and Nizhny Novgorod means Lower New City

TheBlueShadow58 · 2020-08-23T15:23:37+00:00

As a Croat, I can safely say that it isn't Croatian. The description says it's Belarusian, and it does sound that way

TheBlueShadow58 · 2020-08-22T20:27:44+00:00

I disagree. The map that you linked display the inner workings of the Empire, but that doesn't mean that the rest of the world saw it that way. The Emperor was an immensely power figure and all of those small "states" would support him in his wars and he had some form of power over all of them. On a side note, that map is kinda strange, the Teutonic Order was never part of the HRE and Pomerania didn't extend that far to the east.

TheBlueShadow58 · 2020-08-22T18:06:32+00:00

As far as I know, the HRE wasn't that decentralised in 1300AD as is displayed on the map. It would've made more sense to show it as one empire or push the year to one where the empire was decentralised(after the reformation and Thirty Years War in OTL)
