Corsica and Sardinia

[Rio Cana]

You never really hear about these two places. Generally, mainland France and Italy are always on the news. Usually, one problem or another. But these islands are not really mentioned. So is it all happiness on these islands which are not very populated. Are these Southern European islands a good place to visit, live and work.

I think these island might be a good place to live if you have money or if you want to live calmly. But in reality only someone who lives there could tell us. Do these islands have a lot of tourists going there. Europeans love going to Tunisia but why not go to Corsica or Sardinia instead. At least it should be safer.

why is yugoslavia on that map despite only half of yugoslavia actually being put on the map

It seems the map originates from the 1990s. From 1991-2000 there was this state called Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In 2001 Yugoslavia renamed itself into "Serbia and Montenegro". In 2006 Mntenegro left the Union which was the final act of Yugoslavia.

They're both beautiful islands, I'd like to visit them one day.

Corsica's flag though.

Idk about Corsica, but Sardinia is such a good place to live that lots Sardinians emigrate to Continental Italy and to the rest of Europe.

Well... at least in Sardinia, rationed water in many areas, poorly-kept, widespread poverty and unemployment, no autostrada, almost no railway, almost no industry, plus the occasional kidnapping...

Sardinia is fine only if you go as a tourist in some tourist areas and in the summer season.

Umm, not here in America, they aren't. We're constantly being told about Islam and Russia, and the most recent thing I can think of related to France was that Muhammad cartoon and all the "Je suis Charlie" business.

[The Misconception]

Ex-italian resident, went on holiday to sardinia when i was young, good memories. I was just talking of it to a mate last night as a possible holiday destination for a future trip:). My dad has been to corsica and rated it highly too, it sounded really nice.

Only played as Corsica in EU IV and I eventually owned all the islands in the world as them.

Doesn't Corsica start out as being owned by Genoa?

Last thing I remember in the news about France was when Fox News was going on and on about these so-called "no-go zones" for Muslims only, until the mayor of Paris sued for defamation or slander or something. Lol. Shows you how aware we really are about France.

Same here, we don't usually hear about the U.S in the news except when you do an exceptional shit (which is in fact quite often... )

Maybe if we support rebels in France they'll declare independence.

Implying rebels could ever beat France's military.

Not alone. Someone will have to intervene in support of them. How's the Commonwealth doing these days? Or maybe Austria? Great Britain's a possibility now that someone modded in a strait across the Channel.

Those are all too far away, though. Britain/Poland/Austria aren't close enough to Corsica to want to do it.
Perhaps Spain? They control Sardinia, after all. With the Support Rebels Casus Belli they could easily take the island itself.

But spiting France is its own reward!

Spain'd need some fairly powerful allies to call to arms.

Not if they can attack before France gets Elan.
If they can't, they might be able to call in Burgundy, because they're rivals already.

I think France probably has Elan by 2015.


Also, I think we've ruined this thread.

So what you are saying is that mainland Italy and even the EU. have left Sardinia to fend for itself. I do know they have some kind of autonomy. Seems they might need more. Corsica also has autonomy. But I do not know there current economic situation.

Found some info. on Corsica from 2010 which seems to explain what is happening there. Seem there economy was growing but so was the violence. They seem a clan based society.

Seems Sardinia is safer but supposedly organized crime likes to use Sardinia to dump illegal waste. Has for there economy, the following person thinks Sardinia has a good future.

Found out 1/3 of Sardinia use to be part of US and or NATO military bases. It seems they left but tended to forget to clean up the contamination they left. Sort of what happened on Vieques island.

I was looking for a map which clearly showed Corsica and Sardinia. San Marino and even former Yugoslavia which are on the map have nothing to do with it.
And yes, it seems most of the world forgets there is a San Marino which has been independent most of its 1700 years .

Kind of off-topic but watch this short but amazing video that shows San Marino which is mostly on a mountain top.
