I am not Czech, you asked where my ANCESTORS came from.

But this Region is special, it was (last 100 years:)

-Czech

-German (3rd Reich)

-Checho-Slovakian (USSR)

-now it's Czech again

- and soon it just will be

'a region in the EUSSR'

But yeah, for you it would be probably close enough, never mind the border's like 40 km, so you bounced a czech.

It's ok, they are good people

Culturally we are not too different to czechs, all the language etc was forced anyway by govs in the last 100 years as you can imagine.

I don't believe in nation states btw, I believe in People.

That's pretty cool. I appreciate the nuance and explanation. This gets into national identity and cultural identity. Do you identify with the culture more than the country?

100%

In Germany we hat like 100 small regions competing with each other, everyone wanting to have the best University, the best Opera, the best money(!) and so on.

Then these regions became unified into a big grey soup with centraliced everything, language money education

This "country" just destroyed regional culture, regional wealth and competition.

I don't like countries&states much, they want you as tax cattle and cannon fodder ('conscription').

Whoa. You had 100 regions competing in culture but you were forced into war and dumbness? Sounds like the Middle Ages but for the sake of a monoculture. I see why you don't like centralization

Yeah well the Hanse alone had more than 100 private city-states, but that was almost 1000 years prior

What do you think why there where so much immigrants into america in that period?

Napoleon fought big wars, he even owned a big part of america
