Genius-level IQ, witty, pure virgin, pious, etc.

You cannot surpass that. Not even in another dimension.

The fucking better be good.

we don't really know much about the politics of that fantasy setting to make a judgement
there are variously powerful nobles and a king, which is, well, which was a thing

It's basically the Victorian view of the middle ages taken to the extreme. A grain of reality, but heavily distorted.

Some of the societies don't seem too realistic. More so in Essos though, like the Dothraki.

How many years of biology have you taken, anon? There have been plenty of hunter-gatherer tribes that were completely egalitarian.

Because people have learned to enjoy their cuckoldry and will never think for themselves

I claim that the truth is somewhere between the two extremes--some might call this a paradoxical viewpoint, I call it a parallax view.

They were called varangians in the east and vikings in the west but they were the same guys, anon.

>>1102063
I know this. I was questioning the motives. Why raid in the west and settle in the east. I was also trying to discuss why Keiv Rus was so powerful.

>who became the Byzantine Guards and ruled over Kiev Rus so overpowered in their dominance over slav lands
Because the slavs were divided and tribal. They didn't have a militant hierarchical society like the germanics and other, more civilized civilizations did. They were pretty much hippies. According to legend the east slavs invited the Rus' to rule them.

>Also how did they compare with other explanding peoples at the time
they were pretty strong, they completely crushed the khazar khanate and raided the bulgarian capital preslav.

I really want Galicia to be an independent country. Historical duchies are so much more aesthetic than autistic meme modern nation-states. German was a mistake too.

Protect the rubber industry and remove communist influence.

A good portion of it.

>Successfully rolling into DC
You make it sound so easy. DC was essentially a quasi police state at the time with curfews and troops fucking everywhere.

Depends on context.

Did they get in after highly unlikely continuous routes of Union armies, or a mass defection?

Then maybe they can win.

Seems more likely that it'd leave them on over stretched supply lines in most cases. The Union wouldn't have surrendered, and being stuck in a hostile city that you can't give up because of "muh symbolism," can often become a Pyrrhic victory.
