Favorite Former Soviet Republic

[Colonel Angus]

Which former Soviet Republic is your favorite? Are you rabid for Russia or krazy for Kazakhstan? Maybe Tajikistan tickles your toes?

I voted Estonia, but Turkmenistan also seems nice.

I vote Russia entirely for this hat:

I should've voted Lithuania since we would always go there for string cheese, nice bread and generally cheap restaurants, but I was just too baffled by the topic.

[Karifean]

Latvija. Mostly because their flag is similar to ours.

If you're not voting for GLORIOUS NORDIC ESTONIA then you're voting incorrectly!

If you're not voting for GLORIOUS NORDIC ESTONIA then you're voting incorrectly!

But they're not Nordic, really. Their language isn't even Germanic :colbert:

[Madame Adequate]

EX SMURFING SCUSE YOU FYNN I THOUGHT YOU WERE A BRO BUT YOU'VE BOUGHT INTO RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA

ESTONIA IS AS NORDIC AS THE HALLS OF VALHALLA ITSELF

FINNS ALSO SPEAK A FINNO-UGRIC LANGUAGE BUT NOBODY DOUBTS THEIR SCANDINAVIAN CREDENTIALS, WHY DO WE GET REJECTED EVEN THOUGH WE ARE CLEARLY A NORDIC COUNTY, JUST BECAUSE OF A LITTLE BIT OF WATER?

Soviet Russia was pretty cool in Red Alert. I'm gonna go with that.

Neither is finnish, but they still get to play.

Nordic, yes. Scandinavian? Sorry, that is just norway and our bros sweden. Brosforlife.

I might still vote Estonia just because it's pretty close. I have no strong opinion.

[Formalhaut]

Estonia seems the most progressive of the countries so I'll go with that. Also, their technology sector is meant to be pretty good!

I like Kyrgyzstan because when I went there they had shirts that said the KGB were still watching you.

[Fynn]

Estonia is totally a Baltic country, just like Lithuania and Latvia.

Okay, Mirage has a point - we need to draw a line between Nordic and Scandinavian. While both Estonia and Finland are surely Nordic, they are not Scandinavian. Estonians speak a Baltic language, while the people of Finland speak the unholy blackspeak, an ugro-finnish language that isn't even Indo-European, what the hell!

Still love you guys and your language :D We just always wondered what the hell is going on during our contrastive grammar classes.

Estonian is a Finnic language; I believe it and Finnish are similar in the same way that Swedish and Norwegian are. But don't quote me on that last bit.

Ah, you are right. They must have changed the classification again, or I just forgot :monster:

[Laddy]

Estonia always seemed pretty nice.

Bulgaria makes the best commie guns that aren't Russian imports. Also I've heard a few news people compare Vermont to Bulgaria xD and I can't vote on the Mobile skin!

wtf no Bulgaria in the poll options!?

[Colonel Angus]

Sorry, but Bulgaria, while once Communist, was never part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

[Sephex]

Well according to my Punch Out instruction manual, you are wrong!

It was a eastern block country :mad2:
