you cant be making this shit up.

the government thugs are trying everything to falsify the votes.

cesko implemented new electronic ballot machines so most of the thugs have gone to the more remote regions where the new machines couldn't be placed, to falsify votes.

and the few that stayed in the city figured out a way to cheat the new machines.

so cool to find hetalia fans from different countries! Where in Italy are you from? What headcanons do you have about the boys? And what human names do you use for them? I’m so curious!

Hi!

Technically I’m from Lombardy, but I’m from a town that’s riiiight on the border of Emilia-Romagna. So in terms of culture (and dialect), I have more in common with the nearby Emilian city than Milano. But I don’t live in Italy for a majority of the year, I actually live in France!

Anyways onto the more interesting stuff- some thoughts/headcanons on their names:

I use “Romano” and “Feliciano” for the twins’ human names! Both of these names originate from their childhoods

As was customary in Ancient Rome, Romano, being the eldest son (though still a twin ofc) would have gotten the same name as his father. Like Rome, his name was Publius Romilius Romanus (+ any agnomen or nickname that the people around him would use). As time went on, Romano stuck to his cognomen and it soon turned into “Romano”.

Feliciano’s childhood name was Gaius Romilius Felix, and over time Felix turned into Feliciano.

I like to think the twins use each other’s old, Roman names when they’re being petty with each other ebchbsd

A small tangent, but still related to names- in a lot of my human AUs Rome is technically “Romano Sr.” But I imagine his friends gave him the nickname Romolo (or Romulus, for the bit) and it’s stuck for years.

None of the brothers, Seborga included, have a middle name.

For modern last names, I currently use De Cesare but I’m still sorta on the fence about it? I do like it, but I wonder sometimes if I should go with something else. Also, I think the twins had different surnames pre-unification. I still haven’t decided on what they’d be, though.

There’s a lot more I could’ve gone into, especially with Roman naming conventions, their ancient/childhood names, etc. but I think I’ll leave that for a future post if people are interested in knowing more :o

I really do wanna share other headcanons but I’m sorta blanking rn because the question is very general 😅 If you or anyone else want me to talk about specific headcanons (pets, relationships, sillier things, historical stuff, etc. etc.) feel free to ask! Don’t be shy, I love talking about these idiots

I need everyone to think about the fact that Georgia, a country of just 3.5 mil is surrounded by four counties - Russia, Turkey, Azerbaijan and Armenia - all of which are autocracies and dictatorships. Georgia is truly the last beacon of Freedom and Democracy in the region. If it goes out, hope for Caucaus ever being democratic extinguishes with it.

Note: I'm not a Caucasian, it's just an interest area of mine. I'm not citing sources, so much of what I say might well be misremembered, or numbers might be off, etc.. I'd be happy to accept any corrections or clarifications.

For anyone not aware, the Caucasus mountain range is located within and between Iranin the southeast, Turkey in the Southwest, and Russia in the north. The three main independent Caucasian countries are Armenia in the southwest, Geoegia in the northwest, and Azerbaijan in the east.

Most of the peoples of the Caucasus speak languages that are unique to it. In the north (Russian) Caucaus and Azerbaijan Caucasians are mostly muslims, while the rest -- Georgians and Armenians -- are largely part of an Orthodox church. Separate branches from the Russian one. Russians aren't native to the Caucasus, and the history of Russian colonization of the Caucasus I feel is pretty reflective of America's history of colonizing, well... modern day America.

Settlers from the home country leave their homes and settle in a place that's already inhabited (presumably because conditions at home are terribly oppressive or prospects are bleak) which causes friction with the natives. The big country has strategic interests in the region so eventually the settler on-native conflict transforms into an unwinnable conflict between the big country and disunited natives, and every so often the country commits unthinkable crimes against the natives.

The worst genocide Russia ever committed (in the Caucasus) is the Circassian genocide, where an entire ethnic/linguistic group was either killed outright or forced out of their native lands. If I recall correctly, this led to about 2 million dead, and far more suffering. To this day there's a large diaspora population of Circassians in Turkey today because of it.

Russia subjugated and settled the north Caucasus over the course of the 18th and 19th centuries. Lev Tolstoy makes a compelling fictionalized account of this time period in his final work, Hadji Murad.

I don't remember how Georgia or Azerbaijan were taken by Russia, so I'll skip over those. But Armenia is an interesting and tragic case. Before the existence of the country of Armenia, there were Armenians throughout the Ottoman Empire, though the biggest population centers were in the Caucasus, Istanbul itself (and one other iirc?). During the leadup to WW1, many Armenians were arguing for an Armenian homeland, much like many other European nation-states were getting. They faced awful conditions in the Ottoman Empire, and in the tail end of the 1800s, faced a... pogrom? A flareup of hostilities between other ethnic groups in the Empire which caused thousands of Armenians to die?

Later, during WW1, the Ottoman Empire would view Armenians -- *all* Armenians -- as traitors to the war effort, as supporters of Imperial Russia. Ottoman officials attempted to systematically exterminate and banish Armenians from the core territory of the Empire. Millions died on death marches, and Turkey has never acknowledged this genocide as being a genocide. The U.S. hasn't either, because Turkey is too valuable of an ally in NATO to piss off.

I'm not do familiar with the Soviet history of the Caucasian countries, but in the modern day, Armenians are still under threat from an aggressive Azerbaijan. The Azeris recently seized the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh by subjecting it to a cruel siege. North Caucasians, Caucasians in Russia, are subject to housing discrimination in many parts of Russia, especially Moscow. Landlords will sometimes put up signs that they only want slavs as tenants. So, Russians, Belarusians and Ukrainians.

Chechenya tried to break away from Russia while the Soviet Union was collapsing, but Russia -- Yeltzen and later Putin -- refused to let it go. The Russian state relies on oil eevenues from the Caucasus so much that they declared two separate wars on Chechenya, where theu leveled the city of Grozny to the ground.

And in 2008, Russia invaded Georgia under the pretense of liberating and uniting Abkhazians and Osetians. To this day, Russia looms over Georgia like the U.S. does over many central American nations. Right wing politicians fearmonger that they can't enact *any* policy that might anger Russia, and in fact have to model their authoritarian laws after Russian ones because of the threat posed by them.

its insane how you literally can't talk about the oppression caucasians face (what was the last time you read about the genocide or imperialist aggression caucasian people went through? actually?) without an american/westerner piping up with "umm... lol... you think White people are oppressed? lol"

Isn't it crazy how people use caucasian to make fun of white people while literally Completely erasing the struggles of a racialized group? Isn't it crazy how no one cares and people keep doing it without batting an eye? And isn't it crazy when you try to look up something about caucasians you get stupid ass articles about "are white people opressed or not? are white people entitled? are white people this or that?"
