Why is Ireland south of Mexico on this map?

Germans are even worse at geography than Americans, I guess.

Not meant to be geographically accurate lol.

This bothers me from a geographical standpoint

I'm just not sure why Ireland is included in a propaganda poster so clearly ethnic based, to be honest. Then again, Germans weren't that opposed to Irish independence.

It's pretty interesting 19th Century German nationalists considered Irish and Finns Germanic, as well as seemed to support the U.S. annexing Mexico.

No.

You know, I'm not surprised our resident Jew is opposed to Saxon unity.

Saxon unity ceased to exist the moment cultures and languages began to drift. Besides, I'm not especially keen to give American culture over to the Brits or the Germans, even in part.

I mean, I'm not very surprised about the Mexico thing, but I am surprised about the Irish and Finn thing. Was it the "place" (i.e. Ireland and Finland) that they saw Germanic or the people? (Because iirc, the German Empire wasn't that big a fan of the Baltic People either)

Ireland was conquered and settled by numerous Scandinavians groups, especially the Danes, Norwegians, and Normans, and even began speaking English as the majority language by the 1700's or 1800's. Culturally, that's a pretty important development. With regard to Finland, I'd attribute that to the dominance of Sweden over the region. That said, I'm a bit surprised they didn't include more regions. Normandy and Sicily for instance.

Unknown, but it hurts this unity didn't come to pass.

Look, OEP. All I want is a Texas that combines the best of Anglo, Latin, Central European, and other relevant cultures together. We're the closest thing to a Seleucid Empire or Ptolemaic Empire in a millennia except we have tacos that are better than California's and, to be honest, as good as Mexico's. We're the best culture and must ascend to the heights of greatness.

We've discussed a few facets of culture, nationalism, and the human experience on the RWDT, including subjects as scattered as music, art, history, language, and identity, but I thought it might be nice to broaden the field a bit by broaching a subject that normally isn't foremost in our minds - unless y'all are foodies like me. Do you believe that there are any particular dishes or cuisine that possess special significance to your nation, heritage, or to the more general human spirit?

One can learn many things about a culture based on their culinary traditions. There are (to use the simplest example) a lot of noticable differences between people who eat an ox's leg whole with people who mince and/or dice it to the point of insanity, not all of them even related to the fact the two cultures can't have the same type of access to firewood.

Yes. Gumbo and whole roasted hog(yes, other southerners do that... but they waste too much of it) for the Cajun side of me, pecan pie, enchiladas, and chili for the Texian side, and of course shiner bock beer.
Of course, there's also good Texas barbecue. So good that the people who cook it get offended if you put sauce on it.

Bread, because it was a key player in the agricultural revolution, which birthed human civilization.

Geographically yes, although not really culturally.

The one dish that comes to mind is Pierogi, one of the few dishes from my Balto-Slavic heritage that I actually like to any significant degree.
