    I like to imagine an alternate universe where the Kaliningrad Oblast didn’t exist, and in its place was a 4th Baltic country, I call it Dooland (formal name: Republic of Dooland).

    Their language, Doolish, is actually a Germanic language based on German, but simpler than even English, and doesn’t have any conjugation tenses or case system, and phonetics similar to Italian (yes, a Germanic language where the R makes the trill sound).

    The flag is a horizontal tricolor, purple on top (yes, purple), blue in the middle, and green on the bottom, representing grasslands late at dusk in a starry night sky, where it’s usually pretty cold. Purple goes on the top because idk it looks better?

    Cities include the capital, which I named Almara (don’t ask why), where a sandwich shaped like an ice cream cone is sold (unfortunately I stole this idea from Disney), however it’s not the biggest city, that title goes to Celestia (way nicer name), where the aurora borealis can be seen, usually next to a giant grass field which the flag is based on. It also houses a very popular music festival that doubles as its tourist attraction.

    In terms of a national animal, I went with the koi fish. It has a very calm vibe if you ask me.

    Seems like a fun country if it did exist.

    I’d definitely fuck with another country. Good Britain. Or maybe Macedonia to fuck with Greece and North Macedonia. (Though bad Britain arguably has 3 countries.) Maybe The United State of America if it’s in the Americas.

    Or maybe WaterParksylvania if I the water park budget is where I’d expect it to be.

    United Region States of Auber (or just Auber for short)

    Named after a region for a pokemon fan game I wanna work on once I learn how to do what I want. The region in that world is split into 4 region states, which is how I’d split it in a real world equivalent. Three regions which act like states or provinces and the capital being its: own mini region.
