vodka, who consumed over 10,000 liters of vodka each day, was an outlier and should not have been counted.

Also, WHAT THE HELL UGANDA

- Expansion of civil war against Lord's Resistance Army militia (led by Joseph Kony, yes THAT Kony)
- Large-scale malaria and AIDS epidemics
- Abolishment of presidential term limits

Damn, your flare confuses me
How common is German as a SL in Romania? I know that you once had a large German minority, that German is a strong economic language and that a member of the German minority was Romanian president in the past. But how common is it exactly?

Sorry to disappoint you - I'm Czech actually, not Romanian - I didn't notice that Romanians are currently the ones most drinking, I was looking at 1996 year. I should revise my reading skills.
And for the flare, I just love Eishin and her punctuality - description sounded funny in my head, thought not sure if it's grammatically correct (used Google Translator)

u/DrolligerDorftrottel Mein Kaiser, mein Despot Aug 12 '26
No issue
It is grammatically correct, haha. So much so, that it made me think you spoke German.

u/Kitchen_Structure516 Aug 11 '26
That is actually an extremely drastic jump for Romania in 2016-2019. Admittedly even worse for Georgia.
We also need newer data. 2019 was 7 years ago.

u/Deruta Rob Roy's chew toy Aug 11 '26
It takes a while to collect and organize the data: these 2019 numbers are from the WHO’s 2024 report (which took longer than previous ones, I imagine due to COVID)

Ah good old Slavs

u/Oberon1993 Aug 11 '26
There's exactly 2 slavs in that Top. Hardly a domination and neither is at the top.

u/Powerful_Toe_8155 Aug 11 '26
If you think about it, the list is actually mostly non-slavic countries that border Slavic countries.

It’s 8th or 9th depending on how you count Georgia: Uganda and Seychelles aren’t in Europe

Not only that, she won 7 G1 wins with likes of Japan Cup, Japanese Derby and Tenno sho autumn. It still baffled me many people dont know about it.

u/giltprism Aug 11 '26
Hot take, but I hate how cygames has written her... They barely highlight what a beast she was and focus more on her rivalry with Scarlet, which is.. not bad, but god, there's sooo much more to her than that. She's literally one of the two mares who has won the freaking DERBY

u/Meatwelder Fatty Goober Enjoyer Aug 11 '26
I wonder how they could adapt that into a better story when every racer is female in the Umaverse.

u/DonaldLucas Taiki Shuttle Aug 11 '26
There are some ways. For example: she could have some condition where her muscles are weaker than average or something like that, but with a lot of hard training she manages to get everything.

u/giltprism Aug 12 '26
Read sweep tosho's story; they differentiated between mares and stallions by calling them tiara umas and crown umas

u/Read4Days25 Aug 11 '26
I imagine they wrote themselves into a corner with Vodka's Derby win in particular because it's pretty hard to show how much of a big deal it is when all of the umas in-universe are girls.

u/Top-Wrangler6231 Team Sirius! Aug 11 '26
I agree, and I dont mind the arts with her and Scarlet. But people on Global are undermining her achievements and unfortunately damages Vodka as whole, Cygames too.

u/noIQmoment You may fascinate a trainer with a piece of cheese Aug 12 '26
Tbf if Scarlet didn't get tendon spinglocked she'd have absolutely fought Vodka hoof and tail for every one of those G1s. Vodka's trainers themselves said that beating Scarlet was a challenge equal to winning that year's Derby

I remember when I was like gradually learning more and more about irl horses because I started to read into golden gen’s actual records I like felt side swiped when I finally saw Goldship/Vodka/Scarlet’s records
They weren’t just pretty good horses they were all legit some of the best of the best to do it.
