- that idea is nothing new to you too, Res Publica was basically an minor expansion focused exclusively on few republican themed nations.The idea is to make a smaller expansion type with a clear focus. More information to come!
By the way, i hope red color used for highlight streltsy regiment. It will be disappointing otherwise.
- isnt it was based on land ownership? Black ruthenia - lithuania, red ruthenia - poland, white ruthenia - russia.That's not Slavic, that's originally Chinese, later adopted by Turks and Mongols. The various colored Rus' names don't appear in Russian until Russians have learned cartography from Westerners. The European cartographers were also not always aware of the meaning of those colours. E.g. the speculating that the terms Black and White Hungary signified the skin tone of their inhabitants.
Moreover one of the earlier European definitions of white Rus include Kiev, which fits neither the conception of northern nor western Rus, being directly east of Red Rus and considering as well that White Rus ended up being south of Black (Neman river) Rus.
All in all deriving the colored names of Rus from the Chinese/Nomadic tradition is baseless at best.
- oh god please no!Can we please have all countries with a primary culture in the East Slavic group have their name written on the map in a faux Cyrillic font?
Because its original color of Moscow streltsy regiment. Because Moscow regiments was the biggest. Because it's unique, recognizable style. Because red color mean a lot for russians.Why? Different Streltsy Regiments had different colors...
I like this idea! I like it a lot!!The idea is to make a smaller expansion type with a clear focus. More information to come!
