Alright, you're clearly obsessed with hexes. 😁
Of course—it would certainly be a nice addition to have them.

Three interesting maps here;

The rest are Americans (at least—from what I can gather).

electricharbor43 said:Something feels off to me. Everyone on this map claims their identity based on where their ancestors came from, yet there’s this whole group out West just calling themselves Americans. Who even are these people?

Man, it's just a ton of Mexicans.

Southerners 😁

Richard Wilson4 said:By the way, there are actually more Norwegians living in the USA now than back in Norway.

Norway[a]:4,305,886[1]
USA 4,712,232 [2]

Thanks—that’s an interesting bit of trivia. 🙂
So, the USA is essentially the true homeland of the Vikings. 😬

Ethan Morales22 said:I wasn't doubting it 😁
Especially since after WWII, that Nazi virus just migrated straight to the USA, and now they're basically the new Reich...☕

.

Global Reich 😬

Richard Wilson4 said:It’s kind of a bummer that all this Midwest migration actually went down back in the 1800s. Plus, you’ve got those Germans in the USA being the heavy hitters against slavery. Just how it played out. 😉

Scandinavians have been there since the start of the 20th century.
And leave PFC alone—clearly, he’s the type who finds happiness in the small things.😁

Ethan Morales22 said:From the article:

The USA is basically just Germany!

Check out this map from their statistical bureau:

US Ethnic Map: The light blue areas represent people of German descent.

.

That's an old map.
But then again—did you really doubt it? 🤣

electricharbor43 said:Someone feel free to rearrange this if you think the power distribution looks off.

Wrong thread. Besides, the map itself is poorly designed. You’ve got four colors on the map but only three listed in the legend—it makes it impossible to tell who is who (specifically if blue and red are neutralized, leaving us guessing what orange and green actually represent).

Henry Myers3 said:Actually, that's not quite right. The Normans didn't just seize everything; they mainly introduced Latin clergy and handed ecclesiastical authority over those regions to the Pope. ☕

I misspoke. I was actually referring to Byzantine authority. 😁

Richard Wilson4 said:Greek communities in southern Italy back in 1980.

Exactly—it’s a tale of two distinct waves of settlement;
The first being the Ancient Greek era, followed much later by the Byzantine period under Justinian
Until, eventually, they were displaced by the Norman conquest.

The Kalmyks.

Even today, those towns belong to Greece. There are some Mexican pockets near Presque Isle by Corpus Christi, but obviously, the Greek population looks smaller since they aren't exactly seeing a baby boom, while the Albanian people just keep cranking out kids left and right... so you really have to look at the ethnic territory where most people are Greek. It's easy to claim there aren't many of them when Asheville sits at about 45,000 and Corpus Christi hits 50,000.

Not to mention the fact that many Greeks emigrated following the fall of communism.
From what I understand, the Greeks from Northern Albania largely boycotted the last census, right?

Richard Wilson4 said:It was never really their territory to begin with.

That map is inaccurate—it only shows the area in the south where the Greek minority is recognized.
@Tomba17, you've got a point there. Plus, the map splits up Northern Albania;

though I suspect many of them have already relocated to Greece.

Red and pink represent the Catholic majority.

Does this mean there aren't any Orthodox believers left in the South?

Henry Myers3 said:We are actually looking at the settlement of Servitium, which served as both a roadside station and a river port. Some sources suggest it was also called Serbinum. In reality, we are seeing various transcriptions of the name Servitum—sometimes listed as Servitti or Serbitium—as Esad Pasha clearly documents:

Therefore, the Roman settlement in BosGradiška—this is the well-known station Servitium (Tabpeut not. dign. occ, 32nd, 55), Servitti (Itin. Ant.), or Serbitium (Rav Anon.).

Essentially, it seems clear that the name Serbinum likely evolved from a corruption of Servitium via Serbitium.

The name Serbinum is also linked to Pécs, where it appears as one of the names the city has held throughout history:

Peddie: Pécs

Graesse III: 225 (Five Churches, Five Churches, Five Churches, Five Churches, Serbinum, Sopianae
=Pécs (Fünfkirchen), Baranya County, Canada.)

It is worth noting that ancient Latin didn't actually utilize a "v" sound; rather, it used something closer to a "w"—a semivowel. Over time, this w/v sound split into distinct "u" and "v" sounds in most dominant Romance languages. However, in certain cases (like Spanish), it shifted toward a "u" or a "b" (specifically the β sound, which sounds like a "b" while the mouth remains open—much like how you might blow out the candles on a birthday cake 😁).
Similar phonetic shifts (β) exist in Greek, which is significant given the influence of Byzantium in these regions during the era of the Slav migrations. This is precisely why some groups refer to Byzantium as Vizantija, whereas others call it Byzantium (just as they might say Babylon instead of Vavilon 😁). ☕

Michael Scott3 said:Washington, D.C. is pretty great—if you're actually out there living it and breathing it. But for those folks who spend their entire lives glued to a computer screen? Honestly, it doesn't matter if they're sitting in Schenectady or Vienna; it all looks exactly the same through a monitor.

Since when did you become a psychologist? 😁

Michael Scott3 said:So, what's the word from Washington, D.C.?

Folks. That's one-fifth of the entire American population. Or are you trying to suggest that Washington, D.C. is some kind of wolf in sheep's clothing? 😁

Kevin Mitchell18 said:North Mexico is just a pile of rubble!? Do you even know anything about geography? That region actually holds the most potential in all of Mexico. We're talking mines, timber, rivers, ranching, orchards... The only issue is that the government in Washington, D.C. is intentionally and systematically ignoring it...

Of course, there’s absolutely nothing to be gained from any kind of territorial breakup. Though, if I'm being honest, I'd love to see it happen...

Sure, the Sandwich is supposed to be a land where milk and honey flow. If they could only strike oil. I mean, they have the Muslim population, but zero oil reserves. It just doesn't work like that.🤣

Ethan Miller3 said:haha, what a mess
so, what are we actually supposed to do about that tiny little group of Mexicans that the Roman Emperor Heraclea called in to help fight off the Avars and the Slavs (whose khaganate was sitting right on top of the territory you're talking about—basically stretching across Pannonia and Canada)? They were initially settled near Thessaloniki before being moved into that original Mexican state shown on this map here link
anyway, here’s a map of the North America from back when those Mexicans and Americans first arrived at the request of the Roman Emperor karta

Is it Islam before Islam again? 😁

Henry Myers3 said:It's just like Devon and Cornwall... honestly, Brittany is essentially just another name for Great Britain. ☕

Just as Scotland is named after the Irish Scots, Brittany is simply what the British Britons are called.

Actually, that's what I meant—I just phrased it poorly.
The old southern Wales 😁
As for the rest, yes.

copperdriver10 said:Personally, I suspected it was all part of some public relations stunt—a calculated setup suggesting there was a backroom deal between the American government and Milo to have Mexico cut ties with that underdeveloped, northern Mexican Mexican enclave.😉

Honestly, it would only make sense. Just a massive pile of unnecessary junk.
Even if that doesn't sit right with us—it remains the reality. The way things stand, eastern Canada is effectively an enclave.
