      The Antarctic Treaty does support territorial claims made before 1961, by New Zealand, Australia, France, Norway, the United Kingdom, Chile, and Argentina. Two others - the United States and the Russian Federation - have reserved their rights to claim any or all of Antarctica in the future.
      Did I guess this right? If I recall correctly...
      Also, jokes aside, the penguins *will* get angry because, according to Sir David Attenborough,
      "Animals have emotions and they feel pain. Penguins have emotions which are comparable to other birds. They do get angry and they greet one another and it would seem not
      unreasonable to say they have affection for their mate. They trumpet together. They have emotions for each other.”

      Personally id agree that it wasn't any of the three but the purpose that the country was made for fits the title perfectly as the HRE was supposed to be the unifying force (along with the Catholic Church) after the fall of The W.Roman Empire centuries earlier. The only problem is that the HRE never centralized power (or they were not good at centralizing it) and by the time the reformation divided Europe even further the emperor was at that point mostly a figure head than a ruler.

    Just a point on the 'Scottish money' thing.... it's not actually it's own money. It's still the pound sterling, but it is printed in Scotland by the Royal bank of Scotland rather than at The Bank of England in London, England like the rest of the UK's money is.
    Money minted and printed in both places can be used interchangeably in all 5 constituent parts of the UK, because it is the SAME MONEY

The three largest airports are Aqul Endarria INTL Airport in Aminicrak, Ujanbatra Tegel in Ujanbatra, and St. Oslor INTL in St. Oslorburg.
    Physical Geography:
    Now, with Endarria, there's the five major rivers you need to know about: The Argos, the Peltr, the Grek, the Edo, and the Bejin. With those rivers, you kinda have a lot of fauna in most of the non-freezing or humid areas. The Mont Mountain chain splits the country in two along the Peltr river in the northeast, where you can find the tallest peak, Mount Havinty, trandling the border with the providences of Montia and Aljin.
    Demographics:
    Let's just get straight into this one, shall we? The country has about 368 million people, and is the most populated country in the world of Aerth, with a majority 68% being 'Endarrian', with another 22% Scandinavian, and the final 20% is a mix of hundreds of ethnic minorities. But ummm......
    Friend-Zone:
    Endarria gets well with pretty much every single country on Aerth, with close relations to Albajia, Jebidahd, and Halgus.
    The history goes a little bit like this:
    Settlements on the Argos River
    Discovery of Royal Blood
    First signs of Clownsen and Wood-Pecanan
    Unification of three thousand tribes in the Clownsen territory
    Wood-Pecanan Alliance id formed
    War wars, battles battles
    Two kings of rivaling kingdoms, Igil Clown[sen], and Urg Wood-Pecanan
    A little fiery orator called Aqul Endarria comes to be an important speaker, who sees the goals of each opposing sides in a different light
    Treaty of Corciva
    Great Unification of 1017, country under a dual-monarchy with two ruling families
    Aqul Endarria was assassinated
    Empire of Endarria was created
    Stuff goes down, eventually the monarchy is overthrown by democratic rebels
    The FKE is created
    Monarchy restored, but with less control than they did before
    And here we are today!

    Not that it significantly affects the order, but São Tomé & Príncipe actually DOES have an English translation, which is “Saint Thomas & Prince”. However, the only country that this would affect in terms of alphabetical order is Saint Vincent & The Grenadines. And it’s not like a lot of people would complain about it given how small both countries are, so I’m sure it’s not a big deal at all.

      Well, you say that, but it might not stay that way for long. After the Scottish Independence Referendum in 2014, the Scottish Nationalist Party (which supports Scottish independence) absolutely swept the general election in Scotland. And when the EU Referendum came, and the UK obviously voted to leave, Soctland's support for staying in the EU was greater than their support for staying in the UK (Independence referendum was 55%/45%, but EU referendum was 62%/38%). So maybe Scotland will become independent after all.

      What proof exactly do you want? People always call their country however they like. Israel is full of white Jews and they still call it Israel. Egypt is full of Arabs and they still call it Egypt. Bulgaria is full of Slavs and they still call it Bulgaria.
      Nation states didn't even exist before 17. century. And I find it funny how country which was one and half millennium part of Roman empire, almost half of millennium part of Ottoman empire to speak about direct roots to some city states which have absolutely nothing in common with them, but the name.
      And in the same time fighting against another country because they do the same thing.

      Xissor If u think about Alexander the Great... there are proofs that ancient Macedonians were Greeks as much as there are proofs that they were not, we are Slavs mixed with Ancient Macedonians..
