Bohemia.
>only civilised Slavs
>was a kingdom before it joined HRE
>Prague is the most beautiful city in Europe
>perfectly located at the centre of Europe, ideal for a pan-European empire's capital

>>2221861
Italians absolutely rape everyone when it comes to old universities

>>2221866
>>was a kingdom before it joined HRE
It wasn't, Bohemia is a kingdom since 1212 when Friedrich II. and the Czech king had a bromance. Czechs helped him to defeat Milano and to elect him emperor after which Friedrich made Bohemia officially a kingdom. Bohemia was a part of the HRE long before that.

>Pomerania
>Mecklenburg, including Lubeck
>arguably Brandenburg and East Pomerania
>Lusatia part of Saxony
>Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia (including Wohlau and Liegnitz)
>arguably Carinthia, Styria, and Carniola
So, which?

>>2222144
First off nice numbers.
Second off, thats exactly what a fucking pleb prussaboo would say. How can you compare north alpine, great palaces and lakes to such a meme as Belgium. Explain yourself

>>2221850
Habsburgs survived only due to luck and absolute lack of honor, though.

>>2222346
The fact that those lands were inhabited primarily by Slavs for a brief period of time following the Migration period does not make them Slavic during the period of the Holy Roman Empire

>>2222554
Pomerania and Meklemburg were ruled by Slavic dynasties as well.
So basically only the arguable parts (with East Pomerania being not arguable) are those that fits your complaint.
>for a brief period of time
>implying that Slavs disappeared from there

>>2221701
holy fuck look at that mess

>>2222596
I was mainly referring to the arguable ones anyway. Also true the Slavs may not have disappeared, but the Germans eventually formed the majority of the population in almost all of the places you mentioned (except obviously Bohemia, parts of Silesia, etc etc)

>>2221701
Veev luh frons

>>2221701
Tuscany and Bavaria

>>2222642
The Slavic population became an integral part of the German people.

>>2222672
They "became" German though, and that's what matters
