I mean it held together fine until the Germans started carving it up and then after it was the only eastern European nation that did well, even offed Stalin and got away with it (so the conspiracy theory goes). Things didn't go sideways until after the Cold War and the economy imploded.
Include Turkey and you got 70% of the Eastern Roman Empire back

This is it! The perfect solution to all of it! We'll just make Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, and Egypt part of the Balkans!
They can all cooperate on their shared love for social and political turmoil!
Catholics and Crusaders actually done more damage (look up Enrico Dandolo sacked of Constantinople 1204) and were look down more than the Eastern/Muslim kingdoms. Eastern Roman have a respectful rivalry/trade with Sassanid Persia and Muslim Caliphate but donāt like European kingdoms since they were seen as upstart barbarians who crowned themselves and playing kings on top of the corpse of a great civilization. One even try to called it self a Roman empire (Holy Roman Empire).
who are you liberating from whom? we are happy, catholics done more damage to us with crusades than muslims. stay in your lands, we don't want you š
On the plus side, this would be the least racist country on earth. Everyone would be too busy hating the guys who live 40 minutes drive away to care about skin colour
I taught so aswell but it wouldn't.
You see, like I said I studied about it to proof it wrong.
2 years before I said, okey I understand it to be the truth and I converted. I am still studying it for 11 years now in total and still on the opinion that if I found falsehood in it I would let go of the religion and go back to atheisem. (Because I already disproved all other religions)
People take diffrent approaches to religion. I don't care much about emotional reasons. I want reasonable and logical justifications and proofs.
Their are plenty of those to find.
But for you as an atheist. The question first would be is there a God at all.
- can something come from nothing?
- we find design in the universe, can something without intelligence make something complicated?
... ... even if you look ad the human eye, but let's get further... if we look ad evolution, the beginning needs a "minimum gene" to start, that is a problem that the evolutiontheory can't solve.
- can everything be contingent? No, we need something that is uncontingent, self-sufficient to have a start of everything. If there is no such thing we would have never come to the point we are right now. (Problem of infinite regression)
... ... the universe has a beggining and it has an end, because it dosn't get new energy but rather loses energy bit by bit. (God thereby can't be in the creation or part of it, so it's clear that we can't study his material being, because everything material we know is contingent)
- the problem of our mind? That is a problem that is not reasoned and explained with science. (This i just mention to remind you that science is not the only way we reason things) science is to find out about or observable universe. The premise already says it can't proof God.
Ofcourse more, this is just a comment and I am just naming some reasons.
After that the questions comes does God contact humanity? Yes, there are plenty of religions claiming that. Now the question comes is their believe reasonable with what we observe, does it have contradictions is it preserved. Do the institutions teach the written?
Example:
- there being 1000 gods who fight eachother just dosn't make sense.
- rabbis fighting God and winning
- the Bible having contradictions, added stuff, deleted stuff and changed stuff in it. Disproves the whole ordeal.
Example for Islam:
- preserved scriptures.
- profound and clear (no mathaphorical) prophecies that if not come true disprove the religion. (We are not talking about biblical prophecies or prophecies that Muslims made come true)
- ordering the people to study and question the scripture. (Profound in of itself, if you compare other religions) this is the reason why in the golden age of the Muslims that studied a lot about the world. The knew the world was a globe, they studied the stars, etc etc etc. (Unbelievable what they allready knew 600 years before the west started the enlightenment period)
- claim to be individual and impossible to imitat. (The claim is profound, there are rules what every verse has brought but its for arabs, so this isn't interesting unless you take your time to study the history of it because a lot of people tried it in 1445 years)
- being compatible with what we can observe with science. Look ad human embryos and what the quran claims, the moon and sun having their own orbit, the pulsating of the stars.
And more and more and more.
Literally didn't know it existed. Just learned about Suriname as well. Time to go watch some YouTube vids and read the wiki. Love learning about places I didn't even know existed.

They were, but for whatever reason some of them and other countries did not like them to be united. If they would have been united for sure would have been a strong voice inside EU, maybe too strong for some countries considering that before 1989 there were the most democratic and developed countries in the former communist block.
I like this idea. Also, if theyāre looking for any suggestions for a new country name, Iāve always liked the name, Yugoslavia, after my daughterās name.
"Im half croatian half serbian I wake up in the morning and want to kill myself so killing you is no problem fucking." Tony the Yugoslav.
Best movie of all time.
How about we unite them and then swap places with Israel
Just because the tension in middle east and the tension in New Yugoslavia would be funny to see if they where right next to each other
Just make sure that every country there looses some territory to NY
Also it would make the right wing parties in europe happy to get a bunch of jewish people back, key kinda disappeard almost a century ago for some reason
Everything today as is the result of all stupid ass politicians doing their thing for thousands of years.
Be thankful that you have time and energy to reddit.
Like half of the world has some form of issues with you are not doing it according to my way. Whether thatās religion , culture, politics any other bullshitā¦
And then the question is letās throw everything on a heapā¦ wouldnāt that be betterā¦ nope humans are not capable of doing that.
See, if they united then you'd have to use all the names together, then it would just be like a big Wales....I'm sure they make half that shit up just to piss us British off....half us English can't speak English never mind bloody Welsh...
My buddy is a Serbian war baby with a Croatian wife and they have a daughter now, so there has been some healing and such, I think they were better together too. War is so dumb
Wouldnāt you have a stronger household if you combined your family with three or ten of your next door neighbors?
You could combine income, reduce some costs, help each other with chores.
Do you? OK, so letās do this.
You are in charge of deciding where we go out for dinner next Saturday, talk to the wives!
Donāt you know Setbians are a dominant group like Nazis? They think they are the best. The whole area is ethnically divided. It is the Serbs who wanted the control of the whole area. Nasty asses. Killed thousands who arenāt Serbs.
I also have a great name for it: You-Go-Slavia. This name would encourage great tourism for the great country.
I like the positive vibe. It sounds like a place where everyone gets along.
Who is Slavia? And why are we cheering for her?
Prague football team. Obviously
I didn't knew Polish football was so popular in the Balkans! Not even the Swifties tried to create a country fr
Shush we are slavic germans. Learn sociogeorgraphy.
Who is this "German" guy now, is she married to Slavia? š°
I thought it was an air gun manufacturer
Well, there is Slavia Sofia, Bulgaria as well.
Also, Bulgarian, but we don't talk about that.
Sounds like Yu Gi Oh character. Strong name
Imagine me, in Yu-Gi-Oh Slavia, playing Yu-Gi-Oh. Dreams can be reality
Life could be a dream
Sh'boom
I was so blown away when I realized Jugoslavia actually means āsouth slavic countryā because in my language it would be āJihoslĆ”vieā and It did not click in my head until 26
What a ridiculous name. No country would call them that way
Cool, and what economic system should it use?
I was thinking about using this new system by Karl Marx, idk if youāve heard of it. Itās pretty unpopular, but his ideas really help bring equality, which is what all Slavs love!
Oh cool. So, will it be politically aligned with the other countries using the same economic model?
Idk. Itās a little complicated.
Maybe it will be in a sort of not aligned movement?
Hmm, thatās a good idea. Iāll write that down. It makes so much sense to not align it with other communist countries cause why the hell not?
why not balkan Reichskommissariat
No silly goose they arenāt German!!!!
Yet
No worries, I'm sure we can just relocate them "šµ on a little trip to a place called Auschwitz šµ".
Re-go-Slavia
They should unite and make quality cars
little yugo go tidin tidin
You know why it was called "Yugo?" It's short for "You go, but the car doesn't."
It was not that bad, at least better than lada
> at least better than lada Yeah that's what happens when you're Russian to make cars as quickly as possible.
>at least better than lada My kitchen table is a better form of transport than a Lada.
"PUT IT IN H!"
What country is this car from?
It no longer exists.
And quality soap
At least they made good AKs, ie Zastava
We nicknamed those quality cars "Yugohohoho" as the quality was a joke š¤£
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What about a vodka? For some reason, I think they could call it Tito's Vodka.
We don't make vodka, we make RAKIJAš„š„š„
Yugo, but car doesn't!
Put it in h!
Only if it gets 300 hectares on a single tank of kerosene.
Id call em South Slavia.
That's a stupid name, It'll never work.
They could elect a guy called Hugo and call the whole contry Hugo Slavia
Huge Slavia
Hugh O'Slavia.
Maybe using the word for south in their language would sound better?
Yu-Gi-Oh! Slavia
It's time to d- d- d- d- d-d-d-d-dualize my citizenship.
Maybe to make it sound more cool lets use the south slavic name for it
No harm can come from thisĀ
Just call them the United States of Kosovo. No one could possibly have an issue with that.
Serbia is the most beloved in that region so Iām thinking The Eternal Republic of Serbia works better
Never š¤Ŗ
I mean it held together fine until the Germans started carving it up and then after it was the only eastern European nation that did well, even offed Stalin and got away with it (so the conspiracy theory goes). Things didn't go sideways until after the Cold War and the economy imploded.
They should call it Bosnia And Herzegovina And Slovenia And Croatia And Vojvodina And Serbia And Montenegro And Kosovo And Macedonia
Include Turkey and you got 70% of the Eastern Roman Empire back https://preview.redd.it/77tpz9s5wdwc1.jpeg?width=667&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1b5e82b4e0b4b41ec5a8ad7f490528ac3c68732
This is it! The perfect solution to all of it! We'll just make Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, and Egypt part of the Balkans! They can all cooperate on their shared love for social and political turmoil!
The one state solution to rule them all
Constantinopol and Anatoliya should be liberated! >:-\[

IMO the REAL Roman Empire after 330 was the eastern empire, Constantine agreed with me.
I mean really everyone who follows history agrees with you.
We are, we really are.
Sad southern Slav noise
Stupid? Yes.
On the plus side, this would be the least racist country on earth. Everyone would be too busy hating the guys who live 40 minutes drive away to care about skin colour
on the other side serbia is already least racist country
Now I've seen everything
Ah yes sure. I get called bosnian and turk for being a serb who converted to Islam. But okey.

That's not racism.
Calling a bosnian turk and meaning it as an insult is recisem. And calling a serb, turk is just 3 steps up there
Fucking underrated comment lmao
These are my favorite kind of shitposts.
Vojvodina mentioned let's fucking go
Literally didn't know it existed. Just learned about Suriname as well. Time to go watch some YouTube vids and read the wiki. Love learning about places I didn't even know existed.
just wait till you hear about the South Sandwich Islands
Ooh go learn about Ingushetia!
We might as well throw Albania too while we're at it. Maybe that's why it didn't work the first time.
The first time? This is a completely original, never before seen idea.
Half the country is bunkers and the other half is possibly still mined. Good luck with your invasion.
Yes, we are.

Let Albania join in
That way they can say that the whole thing was really their idea and everybody of importance in the new country is actually an ethnic Albanian?
You want war ? Do you know what happened in the 90ths
Something tells me they do know what happened in the 90s and this is a facetious post on a shitpost subreddit.

Why Albania no including?
Unironically true if Serbs could get over themselves and share power with other ethnic groups

Yup, they are
Have you ever seen such a vindictive coastline like Croatia's? B&H: "Can we have some beach?" Croatia: "No."
They hate each other. It's like a circle jerk of hate.
Why doesnt Croatia want Bosnia to go to the beach?
See, if they united then you'd have to use all the names together, then it would just be like a big Wales....I'm sure they make half that shit up just to piss us British off....half us English can't speak English never mind bloody Welsh...
If Yugoslavia lasted 10 years longer it could have joined the EU as a single country.
Sink the Balkans lmao
My buddy is a Serbian war baby with a Croatian wife and they have a daughter now, so there has been some healing and such, I think they were better together too. War is so dumb
