    No cell reception in the bunkers, I guess.

    Speaking of which I cannot for the life of me find a map of known bunker locations in Albania. You'd think that's a slam dunk.

    Isn't it because the bunkers are everywhere, so it's impossible to put all of them on a map.

    I saw a movie where an Albanian guy named Marko from Tropoja was buried in a cemetery in Albania. No bunkers where seen in that scene. I'm sure Albania must have bunker free places.

    This is awesome.

    I feel like the HRE is so neglected in history because it’s so diverse, so different from most countries today, so much variety, that people are afraid to study it and therefore it’s neglect continues.

    It gets a fair amount of study, but in English language popular histories it's a tough nut to crack: medieval non-crusade stuff doesn't sell well enough to get funded, most of the wars are ones a lot of people haven't heard of, territories are hard to keep track of, difficulties in classifying when it starts and when it stops, difficulties in classifying what it even was, difficulties in arguing whether or not it even should actually be analyzed in toto, etc. etc. Even the good popular histories that do exist have to make compromises, like only tracking a dynasty (i.e. the Habsburgs), or going through the entire chronology four times because **** you (*cough* Peter H. Wilson), or reframing the entire thing as being about Germany and "other states" (Joachim Whaley).

    I was going to say I can't imagine the modern territories which the HRE covered essentially ignoring a thousand years of their history because it's complex. I mean it's probably not exactly helpful to think of it as a 'country' in the first place.

    It's a shame because the HRE is certainly one of the most interesting political entities that ever existed, and a lot of its characteristics are unique to it. And the then you have all the Reformation stuff affecting it and the Thirty Years War, also known as one of the biggest, most chaotic, most depressing wars in history, not to mention influential.

    This is more idle fun than a particularly good map. Mostly posting it because it acknowledges Krull as a thing that exists.
