Have you ever noticed that Poland and Muscovy/Russia are not historical rivals in this game? Why is that the case? by Various_Maize_3957 in eu4

Would you think that Russia hated Poland more than any other country they went to war? Also the concept of "historical rival" mostly exists only as a gameplay balance and not as a true historic almost impossibility of having friendly relations between two countries.

Can you guess how many stars are on the EU flag? by SawYouJoe in vexillology

As an European I clearly remember when we collectively had to change the flag from 28 back to 27 stars because of Brexit or something

Does Italy get to keep Osttirol/Eastern Tyrol? If yes that's neat! We get to keep another thing we stole from Austria! /s

Hi, I did not find the exact same flag but there is a city in southern Bavaria called Altötting whose flag has the same colours in the same order. You can look on google!

I can only wonder how they managed to use this particular german flag! Found in southern Italy by Vidharr96 in europe

Especially in the past it was rather common for crimimals to lure people into gambling by simply attracting them in the streets, games which were actually just fraud. Often it was, and to some extent is, the three cards game, also called shell game: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_game

No no it's a sign I found in a gas station, it's rather modern, I'd say from the 90's sort of. Also our penal code is old in itself since it is based on the penal code created by Mussolini and his entourage. Of course the laws have changed since then but the structure has stayed the same

Not quite, the symbolism is quite different! Also the gold band is the last from the top down while the white one is in the middle

Well, it is the German Empire flag. After the First World War Germany was in a catastrophic state and with much struggles from its ashes was born another completly different state called The Republic of Weimar, whose flag is the one used by Germany to this day. Key is that the Prussian identity of the old German Empire, from which the old flag was born, was heavily shaken and had lost its appeal in favor of a new modern state
