Hm, so I think keeping the "lowlands" naming is good, maybe like Leechlân or Láglendi? Would you maybe wanna have it named something else instead?

I am probably going to keep the Fleming naming the same in the Belgium area though.

Do Poland-Lithuania then. You'd be between Germany and I, it's pretty much outlined on the latest map I posted.

I hope your knowledge of that area of the world extends beyond Polandball memes.

You know what would be interesting? A Polish-Swedish union under the House of Vasa. Maybe Sweden remained Catholic, which would make such a union less difficult to maintain.

I remember someone mentioning it a while back but not for a while so I don't know but I feel yes, however France is open, and Polan-Lithuania are open, though that is a weak spot I would think.

I'm fine with either. I'm pretty good with Polish history, and I also know a lot about France.

Very Cool, but hold off, someone may have claimed Sweden so the Sweden+Poland/Lithuania thing may not work. Hopefully it will but we will see.

Sana initially claimed Sweden as part of their nation, but otherwise nobody else has claimed Scandinavia.

It would be weird strategically, since Palanga would be the only port connecting Lithuania and Poland with the Baltic(and subsequently the rest of the nation).

In wartime a tiny offensive by an enemy power by land or sea could divide the nation in two, putting you in a precarious spot.

That's as the claims lie now, though.
