Some Northern Italians would thank you for separating them from the Southern ones

Thanks for this, as it explains a lot.

Also, wouldn't Qhadafia be better explained through Rhodesia?

The line through the middle of Sweden and Norway is not far off from separating the southern swedes and norweigns from the samí.

South parts were colonized by Ottoman Empire and other north Africans after Roman Empire collapse until crusades so for around 1000 years. That is way more than modern history of America.

i recommend everyone learn to recognize colonization on a map. it's a really great skill to have when you're trying to figure out what the truth is in a heavily propagandized media environment

Probably because of the common eider. I'm not sure what is its state in the wild, but Iceland makes up the majority of eiderdown harvests globally.

The east side of Britain was colonized by the Vikings. "Big Wota" = the Danelaw + Scotland.
