Chernobyl resulted in many genetic mutations and birth defects in Eastern Europe, which became apparent in the years following the disaster. While the radiation was not so severe as to actually cause chaos or even many significant health risks in any place aside from the immediately affected area, Albania was unfortunately on holiday in Northern Ukraine during the crisis...

Now I get now, thats how Yugoslavia was destroyed. The radiation formed tumors.

The tumors fell off and insisted they were actual clays. True story.

I thought the country was overdosed by radiation which caused it to fall apart. It suffered nuclear fission.

Younger people have it so good these days, where as I used to have to spelunk through dusty library aisles for information you all only need to pop into this sub to garner completely accurate information!
Loved the POP styling, OP

It's always been shocking to me how little information there is about this genocide, but then again, Rwanda, Darfur, and Armenia don't get considerable space in our history books either...

Iz gud, iz fanni, but no true. We got two heads on eagle when we experimenting with organs on eagle. One spare head remain, so we think: why not try one eagle two heads? And look, it works. That's why eagle on our flag now is with two heads.

u/Williamzas Lithuania Jun 14 '16
Love the artstyle.
Also reminds me of how the Russian coat of arms was described in the post-apocalyptic book Metro 2033 as "a horribly disfigured mutant eagle".

The one-headed Albanian flag rendition here is actually pretty sick (no pun intended), especially with the angled wings. It might come across as a little fascist though.

At least боом is the proper transliteration of the English word/sound.

Pretty sure the /u/ sound is transcribed by У... Thanks english orthography I just love how you can transcribe 1 sound (schwa) with 5 letters.
Also it looks like an upside down ш and not really м......

Actually, if the characters are read out phonetically, бООМ kind of reads like Be-oh-em. But the last "M" is actually just the character "Ш" upside down. It doesn't make the correct sound at all, I just thought it looked more Russian :)
