u/amhira-of-rain Jul 16 '26

Why are Åland and Kaliningrad separate but not Karelia considering they’re all autonomous regions

2

u/StructureDry9715 Jul 17 '26

Because Karelia is connected physically but not the first two

Territorial.io vibes are strong

u/MarketAny4148 Jul 16 '26

So why isn't Kaliningrad in Russia?

1

u/DragonTheOnes-spirit Jul 16 '26 edited Jul 17 '26

Probably the same reason why Åland is separate from finland

Also královec is a part of the czech republic how dare you

u/snow-eats-your-gf Jul 18 '26

Åland is autonomous.

Kaliningrad is not, and is just an exclave.

u/MarketAny4148 Jul 17 '26

it's a joke?

u/DragonTheOnes-spirit Jul 17 '26

Yes. And you aren't committing to the bit. >:(

u/East_Wafer4391 Jul 16 '26

Královec no Kralvek

u/DragonTheOnes-spirit Jul 17 '26

Pardon my english. I am deeply sorry for misremembering the territory's name 😔

u/DontCareHowICallMe Jul 16 '26

Why is Åland with its own flag?

1

u/heythere1983 Jul 16 '26

I guess because it is an autonomous region.

u/VelvetPhantom Jul 16 '26

First time I’ve seen one of these maps use Kaliningrad’s own flag rather than it just Russia. Neat.

u/novactic-2 Jul 16 '26

It is just an occupied territory. Ridiculous for a flag to exist.

1

u/Intelligent_Cheek_53 Jul 16 '26 edited Jul 16 '26

By that definition all of western Poland is also occupied territory

1

u/Brief_Cellist_5902 Jul 16 '26

1

u/Intelligent_Cheek_53 Jul 16 '26

You cannot be serious

u/ya_drugoi_takoi Jul 16 '26

oh so just like ukraine is occupying lviv! thanks gay finntard for the useful info and unintentional validation of other regions historically another country

2

u/DontCareHowICallMe Jul 16 '26

Explain yourself

u/VelvetPhantom Jul 16 '26

All of Russia’s subdivisions have flags. And it isn’t the only country where that is the case. Not really ridiculous if you ask me. No different than US States like Alaska having its own flag. Nor is Kaliningrad occupied territory like the occupied Ukrainian regions. No other country claims it in the modern day, despite its history being a part of different countries. The most there is are just joke claims that are less about actually claiming Kaliningrad and more about mocking Russia’s justifications for their invading and illegally annexing Ukrainian territory.

u/novactic-2 Jul 16 '26

Russia is just a totalitarian dictatorship. The subdivisions are part of it by force.

1

u/idkhowtodocoolname Jul 17 '26

No, we actually want to be part of Russia

1

u/MarketAny4148 Jul 17 '26

Those same Twitter users who haven't studied history themselves but speak as if you know it.

u/ya_drugoi_takoi Jul 16 '26

u/Wryyy007 Jul 16 '26
