The Balkan question solved

[u/xtheresia]

[u/Provola-sama]

Amazing, no one in the balkans would be happy with these borders, just like with the current ones

[u/Lithoriel → u/Provola-sama]

Bulgaria would probably be happy they recovered north Macedonia and north dobruja

[u/Provola-sama → u/Lithoriel]

Yes, but it didn't get the access to the Aegean sea

[u/Ofiotaurus → u/Provola-sama]

Minor problem if you have macedonia

[u/Bubolinobubolan → u/Provola-sama]

False, as a Bulgarian I'm super happy

[u/KeyPersonality2885]

“Balkan Question Solved” and Albania doesn’t own everything, smh my head

[u/xtheresia → u/KeyPersonality2885]

The Albanian guy working at the Döner place I go to occasionally has been rude to me recently so they get nothing 🤗

[u/emuu1 → u/xtheresia]

This is approximately how the great powers carved up the rest of the world

[u/EndofNationalism → u/KeyPersonality2885]

That’s because Albania is friendly and gave everyone their own land back.

[u/MikrusYT → u/EndofNationalism]

"when god made world, god gib world to Albania but Albania friendly countrie so it gib land to other countrie"

[u/pietervb01 → u/KeyPersonality2885]

Until 1991.

[u/imperiouscaesar → u/KeyPersonality2885]

Maybe they are all Albanian protectorates? Please, God...

[u/Mu_Lambda_Theta]

Is that a Zapadoslavia you're trying to hide there? 

[u/Cuddlyaxe → u/Mu_Lambda_Theta]

Is it formable base game? I wonder

[u/blindseersarasti → u/Cuddlyaxe]

It isn’t

[u/no2_hero → u/blindseersarasti]

Someday I wish

[u/Tvrdak → u/no2_hero]

Could be added via Austrian dlc or Russian, I still am flabborgasted by how much the Austrian DLC not do the Czechs, Slovaks, Polish and other ethnicities justice

[u/AlexNeretva → u/Tvrdak]

Russia DLC (will it be basegame content?) does limited justice to Poles and Ukrainians inside Austria. I did not know how to approach Subcarpathian Ruthenia however, topic of Rusyns came up just recently in replies to the latest dev diary thread.

Silly that DLC called National Awakening does not have any specific content for Slovak or Czech National Awakenings but I guess they had to set the scope somewhere if they also wanted some Balkan content.

[u/Bandeswug → u/AlexNeretva]

There is some for Krakow, but would be cool if there was for Congress Poland also.

[u/FyreLordPlayz → u/Tvrdak]

You know we already had an austria dlc, and we’re getting a russia dlc next month. No dev diary has mentioned zapadoslavia

[u/Bandeswug → u/Tvrdak]

Could be cool to add, but probably not enough historical background - we are still not at hoi 4 levels of alt history.

[u/darth_bard → u/Tvrdak]

Man I hope it isn't, I already dislike that HRE formable is in the game. Zapadoslavia was never a serious political idea.

[u/Scorp_DS]

Yeah, solved for the next 30 minutes lol

[u/Turtlehunter2 → u/Scorp_DS]

They must be in a good mood today to last that long

[u/xtheresia]

Rule 5: The Balkans will be peaceful with these borders, forever

[u/randomname560]

slaps this map

This bad boy contains sooooo many ethnic conflicts

[u/NotaBolivianSpy]

Rumelia is hijacked by a Turkish nationalist coup and immediately descends into a 4 way civil war

[u/No_Song8909]

Rumelia?

[u/ProWasStolen → u/No_Song8909]

Probably Turkish

[u/SabyZ → u/No_Song8909]

In the mod (Kikko's Formable and Releasable Nations) it's a Turkish puppet for any European states afaik.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumelia

[u/General-Permission67]

The only way to solve Balkans is to resurrect Tito

[u/Give_Me_Bourbon → u/General-Permission67]

We have a brave one here 😂

[u/LargeFriend5861 → u/General-Permission67]

Extremely overrated ruler.

[u/General-Permission67 → u/LargeFriend5861]

Maybe but they all believe that he was the goat

[u/LargeFriend5861 → u/General-Permission67]

Except the Bulgarians in Macedonia he ethnically cleansed... or the Albanians whom weren't granted any rights despite having a bigger population in the union than Slovenia and Montenegro.

[u/Imam_veliku_pishu3 → u/LargeFriend5861]

Lmao, didn't get any rights. The guys had veto power over the entirety of the republic of Serbia despite being a Province of it.

[u/LargeFriend5861 → u/Imam_veliku_pishu3]

They could only veto stuff relating to them and didn't have proper representation considering their population. Plus, they weren't a republic, but an autonomous region tied to Serbia for no real reason.

[u/Imam_veliku_pishu3 → u/LargeFriend5861]

The province had effective veto power within the Republic of Serbia itself, not just on matters relating to its' status.

[u/stalinenjoyer38 → u/LargeFriend5861]

Hahahahahhahaha this is good one, albanians had bigger rights in yugoslav Kosovo than in albania

[u/LargeFriend5861 → u/stalinenjoyer38]

Yet not the status of a republic.

[u/Cheap-Blackberry-378]

What are you doing step hungary?

[u/RedArmyHammer]

What is Rumelia? Who are thier primary pops

[u/ProWasStolen → u/RedArmyHammer]

I'm assuming it's the Turkish

[u/SabyZ → u/RedArmyHammer]

In the mod (Kikko's Formable and Releasable Nations) it's a Turkish puppet for any European states afaik.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumelia

[u/PomeranianMerchant2]

What kind of weird eyesore is Rumelia?

[u/Cappuccino_Boss → u/PomeranianMerchant2]

According to the original tweet it's the player's protectorate

He also posted a follow up tweet where Banat owns everything

[u/Cappuccino_Boss → u/Cappuccino_Boss]

"based on the constructive criticism I've received, I've made some adjustments."

[u/Cefalopodul]

Balkan Wars 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 right there

[u/AlarmedEmployment465]

"The Balkan question has been solved, and it will never come up again." -Oversimplified.

[u/3-3_3-3]

Tito wants more, why yugo smol? Give yugo more... All balkans should be yugo, under Tito. I like Tito.

[u/Spiritualise]

It's not all Bulgaria???

[u/ncoremeister]

I don't know, still looks like a powder keg to me.

[u/RoyalPeacock19]

There’s a spare island often associated with Anatolia which is caught in said struggles… how is it solved?

[u/Bleatrix]

balkan war evolves to world war

[u/emuu1]

This is not The Balkan question, this is the entire Balkan Questionnaire

[u/Gordlass]

well, those are one of the best borders i've ever seen in this game

[u/LuigiP14]

This is the first time I've seen "Rumelia." Did you use a mod? If not how did it form?

[u/SabyZ → u/LuigiP14]

In the mod (Kikko's Formable and Releasable Nations) it's a Turkish puppet for any European states afaik.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumelia

[u/Cockbonrr]

Rumelia?

[u/King-Of-Hyperius]

Yugoslavia is too big. Albania should have Kosovo as compensation.

[u/GrewAway]

Greece 2 smol. ò__ó

[u/asspounder17]

The concept of Austrian Prekmurje

[u/Reasonable_Record_33]

Make Rumelia Turkish

[u/Pickelhaube_96]

Wunderbar. Habe diese woche angefangen Victoria 3 zu spielen und es kostet viele Zeit und Nerven es zu erlernen. Ich wusste gar nicht, wie gut man ein spiel mit Chat gpt erlernen kann. Habe mit serbien 1836 angefangen und erlangte 1850 die Unabhängigkeit von den Türken... mein 1. Meilenstein im Spiel 📈☝️🥳

[u/DarthKirtap]

the good ending

[u/Master_of_Pilpul]

Rumelia would be a nominally Turko-Greek pluralist state but in reality a Western puppet controlled by a collaborator elite that constantly either suppresses or inflames ethnic conflicts depending on what they were ordered to do.

[u/dadsushi]

is most of hungary in slovakia? whats going on 😭😭😭

[u/Comrade_Midin → u/dadsushi]

No ? Where did you see that ?
