It's quite easy to have many wars if the back yard** of your next door neighbour* is a country hostile to your own country. (consisting of your and your other next door neighbour's* back yard**), and all your next door neighbours*, and all their next door neighbours* have similar arrangements going.
*: The actual person of your next door neighbour, not a personification of a larger governmental body
This map is a bit of misleading. There almost always was a king or Kaiser who ruled over most of them. Yes they had their own little land to reign but they had to obey the king too.
Well you see, there was that guy with abig fluffy mustache. And he was kinda smart and falsified letters before sending them or publishing them. Anyway, they gave a guy from Bavaria a bunch of money for his princess castle (You'll get a cookie if you guess which one correctly).
And then something something king of the germans, content-wise desasterous painting and antisemitism, anti-catholicism, anti-everything. Then the fluffy bearded guy went into exile and a new fluffy bearded guy was so full of himself that he fecked international politics. But that's beside the point and nothing bad happened afterwards. HAHAHAHA

It never was. That map there is not historic, it is a modern day map of public transportation networks.

What is Ranslite hiding?

At least the Holy Grail and the keys to Barbarossa's grave.

Unfortunately it has. Many regional cultures and dialects face going extinct.

You can do this with pretty much any location on earth.

Honestly the better question is, why Germany looked like this, so recently. Most other places in Europe and Asia had much larger countries.
Vinylraupe@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 56d
Simple. Those counties managed to hold sovereignity.
(Also theres Dutch, Swiss and Polish counties next to them, equally as small)

Well it's more like the HRE nobility didn't want any of their little inbred freak babies to have to work for a living
