What's funny is that for the area that has "nothing" they are right for most of it. A lot of that area is just open land.

I wish we had that much territory.

If I don't live in either do I have to draw both?

What do I draw if I'm both a filthy yank and a dirty yuropoor?

What do I draw if I'm both a filthy yank and a dirty yuropoor?

Dual citizen?

Why do you like Imperial Germany so much?

It's not as great as you seem to think it is.

>____>

All the military might, without the genocide. During Bismarck's reign, it was a force for European peace.

Military might really doesn't mean anything. And Europe is more peaceful than ever (despite the Russian-backed war in Ukraine) without any European countries having massive military might.

And Germany during Bismarck's reign wasn't exactly peaceful. They went to war against 2 major powers (Austria-Hungary and France) during that time.. He was smart because only punched at or below his weight, but he certainly wasn't peaceful by any means.

And Imperial Germany's massive procurement of arms contributed greatly to wwI being so devastating since they were trying to topple the UK as Europe's preeminent military power.

I meant that Germany was a force for peace once Bismarck had created it. He started the three wars to create a a unified Germany. Once Bismarck was kicked out by Wilhelm II (dumbass), whose policies helped lead to the outbreak of WWI. If Bismarck had stayed in power this wouldn't have happened. Bismarck warned against making an enemy of the British.

Yeah it's peaceful, but reliant upon the United States for defense. The Russians have so many troops it would stomp Western Europe with numbers alone. They've done it before. The U.S. is the deterrent. But the U.S. could also stand to decrease the budget, which would be easier and less harmful if the nations of Europe (particularly Germany) stopped being so damn afraid of having a strong military and became militarily self-sufficient.

And why did Imperial Germany go to shit once Bismarck was kicked out? It's because Imperialism isn't sustainable or viable in the long term. Every country that colonized Europe, Africa, and/or Asia had to give up all of their significant colonies in those continents for those reasons. And it's also typical in authoritarian/totalitarian states for each of the original leader's successors to become less and less competent over time until the system outright collapses. China is one of the very few countries which has managed that, but that was due to some degree of reform.

In terms of defense, uou're greatly overestimating Russia's military in all honesty. Yes, they're powerful, but the combined military forces of Europe even without US help could stomp Russia's military. All that Russia has is nuclear missiles, and they know it. Which is why they only pick fights with extremely weak countries. Did you see their performance in 2008's war in Georgia? They performed terribly against the Georgian Army (in terms of equipment/men lost) despite the fact that they greatly outnumbered them in everything. And Russia's operations in Ukraine are just limited to Special Forces and Spetsnaz units, so of course they'd look impressive. The Russian Army itself is a fucking mess though.
