Let me guess, they renamed it New York like we renamed one of our Commie-named cities to Montana so as to suck up to the Americans?

Well, glad we weren't the only morons to do it.

Pro-Russian demonstration and succession activities erupt in Montana. :ROFLMAO: Seriously, there is a group petitioning to leave Bulgaria and join Romania around there.

Hey, @LTR do we have an "insane geographic nonsense and name duplication" thread?
I imagine that there can be all sorts of weird shenanigans there.
IIRC the USA had several Kansas cities outside of Kansas.
Alternately all this buffoonery needs to go into the DonBass thread, and by this rate we need a subforum just for Eastern European-related shenanigans.

Just sell it to Canada.They can rename it Trudeaugrad. 😂
(NOTE: Slavic wordplay/pun, since it would sound something like hardcity/laborcity.Also, the expansion name of a turn-based FO-like RPG taking place in a post apocalyptic Russia.Check out on GoG, own it, haven't had the time to play it.)

Ukraine was absolutely not "sucking up to the Americans" in 1846.

Yeah, well there was no Ukraine until the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty, so that is true.
I know that the Russians were giving their backing to the Union but that would make the naming 10-15 years off.
My best bet is "Russian bureaucrat or nobleman trolling."
 
Americans, explain why you have 2 Kansas Cities, with one in Missouri?


Also, themseong for thread here:


Fun fact, we always referred to Constantinopol/Istanbul Tzarigrad, we even have a bunch of roads, boulevards etc, called Tzarigrad road.
Even though there was never technically a 'tsar' in Constantinopol, the proper term was Basileus.

Tzar came from Caesar, and in the tetrarchy that preceded the split of the Roman empire the actual head hnochos were the Augusti
Also, as we were provincial hicks we decided that Tzar is basically the equivalent of 'King/Prince' and we started to call our King that, but enough whining about my stupid relatives.
 
Recently I took a lengthy trip, visiting Paris, London, Moscow, Antioch, Athens, Medina, Holland, Dublin, Edinburg, Weimar, and Florence.

I was kind of surprised at how everybody spoke English with a Texas accent, used Imperial measurements, and tended towards talking about American Politics. I guess the US really is the center of the world and those places don't have as much unique culture as you might think!

Because Kansas City, Missouri was founded as a port city at the confluence of the Kansas River with the larger Missouri River; it predates the state.

Kansas City, Kansas is for all real purposes a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri; the only reason it's a seperate city on paper is that cities can't span state lines.
