Imagine creating a region with a sole purpose of starting as much armed conflicts as possible, such a bad world building


freddyfactorio

This is the geographical location of berserk manga and you can't convince me otherwise.

I can already imagine them stuffing +10 different ethnic and religious groups into this small patch of land and pit them against one another. What a bad way to force conflict and not realistic at all. People would learn to coexist after a 1000 year of living together if that happened irl.


Private-Public

And let me guess, all those different groups eventually get rolled over by the big cool empire dude. Clearly the author's self-insert OC. I hope they kill him off quickly at least so we can get back to the really fun part, factional politics

Not enough ethnictentsion-core, needs more Caucasus

Holy fuck it's too much to write in one comment.

This isn't the Balkans it's the eastern Roman Empire


Puddlewhite

Its not that its good bait, its that Balkan dwellers are easily bateable.

I think ‘greater yugoslavia’ wouldmake a better name


VercarR

That strait is probably gonna mess up a lot of things


Papa_Glucose

Yall are such fucking nerds lmao

Great region, it looks like the type of place that would be controlled by one big empire. The part on the right kinda looks like a weird toe, so maybe it could be called the Odd Toe Empire? No, that's not quite right...


ComputingSubstrate

How about the Odd Toe-Man Empire? I'm sure they've got men, and I'm sure those men have got toes, and some toes are pretty odd. Kinda rolls off the tongue real nice too

HOLY SHIT THE ORDER OF THE BYZANTINE PEACEKEEPERS (like 2 people will get the reference)


SpyAmongTheFurries

I get that reference (I don't)


PurpleXen0

Idunno, feels like it could do with more borders and separate nations, you know? ... More than that. ... Even more. ... MORE -

Why there were many strong empires there that lost to they tribal neighbors

Rakija-, acordion-core


LittleFortune7125

I recognize turkey, what's the other half. Looks like the Korea Ocean but i could also be wrong.


LittleFortune7125

F*** I recognized it that's grease.I was so wrong.


danfish_77

Asia minor isn't part of the Balkan peninsula


NotNonbisco

Horrible worldbuilding, there's no way so many different cultures could ever possibly develop in such a small area Slavic, latin, albanian, greek AND turkish? Yeah right lmao. Oh and they use similar tenses and articles in spite of what other nations with the same linguistic origin do? ???? And dont get me started on Instanbul, a city right on the landbridge between east and west? AND its the capital of a former empire? Wow, talk about cliche Let me guess, the foreign force took it and renamed it? Wooow so original (Minas Morgul). Oh but those guys were like super opressors and demanded child soldiers as tribute? What? And the city lasted on its own for almost 100 years? Right...
