non spring asks- other than the rainforests thing what might outsiders not know about your country? What are your favorite movies?
the rainforest thing isn't actually something my country does anymore — that's the Republic of Asfat, I'm from the Principality.
well, my favorite movie is the Shian Epechi version of A Summer’s Tale. (look it up if you haven’t seen it - content warning for faked death of a child)Â
what outsiders might not know about my country - the Principality and the Republic split apart about ninety years ago. there was a war over it, obviously, and the Republic only won because the reigning Prince at the time thought it was a good idea to visit the front lines, and he got hit with a bullet and died and there was an immediate succession crisis. the Republic covers about two-thirds of the old Principality’s landmass and has more than three times our population, not counting the patch of rainforest that the old Principality used to own and nobody really cared enough to fight over.Â
