Hi folks! There hasn't been any misbehavior in this community, nor to be frank do I expect any, but it's good to have redundancy, cover more time zones, etc... in case of spambots and the like. I'm looking to add a couple more mods!

I don't have many metrics by which to choose fellow mods (such as the age of the account) so all you need to apply and get picked is to be active in this community (which means contribute posts and/or comments... the more quality contributions you've made the more likely you're to get picked). I'm CET, btw.

If you want to guard this community and help it stay a cozy place, apply here in the comments to become a mod. Feel free to add any additional reason why you think you should be picked! Are you a geographer? ~~Are you power hungry?~~ Are you ~~glued to your computer~~ an internet enthusiast? Apply now!

Applications will be open for a while until I pick a couple of peeps.

My new map of the Balkans and Anatolia in the year 1444 in the size of 13,981x9,752. 🗺️✨

In 1444, the Balkans were a region of significant conflict and transformation. The Ottoman Empire, under Sultan Murad II, was expanding its influence, while Christian kingdoms, including Hungary and Poland, sought to resist Ottoman encroachment. This period culminated in the Battle of Varna on November 10, 1444, where Ottoman forces achieved a decisive victory over the Christian army, leading to the further consolidation of Ottoman power in the Balkans. ⚔️🏰 Encyclopedia Britannica

During this time, many parts of the Balkans were under the rule of Venetian, Hungarian, or Orthodox powers. Strategic cities like Belgrade, Skopje, and Sofia emerged as key centers of influence, marking the crossroads of East and West in this turbulent era. 🌍💥 EGO | Europäische Geschichte Online

In Anatolia, the Ottoman Empire had firmly established its control, unifying the region and strengthening its central authority. Sultan Murad II's reign marked a period of significant consolidation, laying the foundation for future Ottoman expansion into the Balkans and beyond. The empire's dominance over Anatolia provided the stability and resources needed for its military campaigns, including incursions into Southeast Europe that would dramatically reshape the political landscape of the region. 🏛️💪

The Ottoman control over Anatolia in 1444 was pivotal in enabling the empire to project its influence and power, setting the stage for its future expansion across the Mediterranean and into the heart of Europe. 🌍🚀

People who have never been to L.A. really have no idea how insanely huge it is. Driving to my apartment from the start of city (before you even get to L.A. county) and having the city just keep going and going and going for two hours and not because of traffic jams is something you have to experience to truly understand.
