Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine ware a one country united by a union back then in the history. So it makes sense with those similarities, especially that some previously polish cities are ukrainian.

well, thats kinda normal that you cant understand russian because unlike belarusian and ukrainian, it was modernized and changed a lot compared to the old rus language that is much more similar to ukrainian or belarusian and other slavic languages

ukrainian and belarusian were influenced by polish language i think it has more to do with the fact that poles understand belarusian and ukranian better

Completely depends what you like but overall I'd say Scotland, better nature and less crime (at least comparing the cities) but if you like high paying jobs then England is probably better. Not really sure about Ireland, seems just like Scotland but using the Euro. There are good people in all but I prefer Scottish/Irish people

I am looking for a place which has happier and friendlier people (than here) and a weather which ain't that hot in the summer and ain't that cold in the winter. Might be tough to find a job with my future degree though (English and literature).

I'd say when you're dealing with city people friendliness varies a lot but I think that applies to most countries, still would say Scottish/Irish are a bit more open/friendly. Thats pretty much exactly how the weather is where I live (east coast), Ireland is the same but it rains a lot more there. By what you said I think Scotland or North England would be fine, since the South gets hot af in summer

I feel like the only difference between Sweden and Finland is the language. Kalle’s Caviar is everywhere, really all the food produce is pretty much the same, many of the brands offered being from Sweden. Shit you can even buy Swedish potatoes during the summer. We sing the same song in Swedish when Finland wins in ice hovkey. The only thing that I don’t think we have in Finland is the level of gang violence.
Edit: Medical services is different, where as Sweden has the private/public system that is better than the Finnish which leans heavily towards public.

You think of us as arrogant, we think of you as boring. Been that way for 100 years and I dont know if there is any truth to it or only preconceptions.
But Swedes can be arrogant and my friends that have visited Finland hasnt exactly been mesmerized so there might be some truth to it. However I think we talk about 5-10% difference between one another, nothing that should be taken to seriously.

We are very similar you aint wrong. I just think that since the language barrier between the Scandinavian countries is so small we have an easier time seeing our similarities, especially since we consume a lot of each others media and culture.
Every Swedish speaking Finn i have encountered feels very Swedish so if they resemble how the average Finn is then yes we are very similar indeed.

The language, the culture, the mentality, the history you share together, over 20-25% russians living in your country, the cuisine. Also balts were one of the groups who lived in Kievan rus', along with the slavic and finno-ugric tribes (which means that some russians have baltic roots as well)

1. Language is completely different
2. Culture completely different
3. Yes, but does that make us closer? Maybe a little bit, you probably dont know tension between Latvians and russians here, different values, differrent mentality, traditions etc.
4. By this logic we can say that Latvians are close to Germans because of Old Prussians.
I would agree with 20%, but not 70%. I would never want to be part of russia, but sadly this misconception exists amongst people (you are an example).
12 replies
1. I was referring to Latvia being a russian-speaking country. 25% are native russian speakers, over 50% can talk and understand
2. No
3. It does make you closer, a lot of latvians have russian relatives, its basically mixed.
4. I dont know what logic you have but the balts are literally the closest relatives to belarusians, ukrainians and some russians as well.
Nobody asks you to be part of Russia and I never claimed anything. I just said the truth about a lot of common things between you and Russia. A russian person in Riga would feel much more comfortable (basically like at home) than a swede in Helsinki, do you think Sweden and Finland are only 20% alike? :D
Yes, 70% is too high, especially when you see Belarus and Ukraine with not that much more who are literally the siblings of Russia
10 replies
Completely false statements. You didn't even read what I said I guess.
1. I am Latvian who is fluent in russian and it doesn't make me closer to them (I tell you that as a person who has real life experience and I've been living in most russian part of Latvia), it is same as if you would say that Latvians are close to Fins or Danes or whatever, because guess what? We speak in english, holy fuck, thats insane, we are brothers.
2. You don't understand the difference between russians and russians who live in latvia, they are different, mostly because if you are grown up in Latvia, you inherit many aspects of life from us, I agree that russians living here might be closer to us, but it doesn't make us closer to "real" russian people living in Russia.
3. Russian person in Latvia would feel more comfortable only because of years of occupation and russification which wasn't our choice, our ties with russia are based only on their people who lives here and doesn't want to leave (always complaining how bad things are here for russians, only because they are asked to respect the country they live in and speak in official language).
Well if thats your logic of someone being "similar" we can end a conversation. I am not trying to educate someone, I just pointed out obvious bullshit of 70% as a person who lives here and have real experience.
9 replies
Lets not lie :) They dont complain because they are asked to respect the country they live in, they dont have the same rights, most of them are non-citizens. Havent heard a single latvian complaining about the russians who live there.
Yes, it's not 70% but consdiring the fact that your biggest cities have around 40% russians and in some cities they are the majority, I would say that it's not that far away from 70%. 40-50% easily.
Yet again, I have no idea why you bring up that "it wasnt our choice" thing again. Nobody says it was your choice. If not the russian occupation, the number would have been much lower but you cant change the past and a russian person could easily move to Latvias biggest cities and assimilate within a few days.
The fact that you described baltic and slavic as "completely different" cultures says a lot about your knowledge tbh.
Your problem is that you are not talking about Latvia that we have today, you are trying to imagine Latvia without its Soviet-past and acting like they (russians) had no influence on your culture and country today.
2 replies
1. Wrong again, you are trying to tell me that they don't have same rights because they are non-citizens, but you don't know that they are allowed to become one. My father was non-citizen, when Latvia left USSR and he had to do the exams in order to get citizenship, he knows Latvian very well and now has same rights as everyone else (those russians are just idiots who do nothing and complain afterwards). Thats 1 fail.
2. "Havent heard a single latvian complaining about the russians who live there." - Holy shit this one is even more hilarious, tension between latvians and russians is probably biggest issue we have right now, few days ago I was in public transport and heard two older woman, one latvian and other russian having an argument, and it happens so fucking often that nobody pays attention to that anymore. Even latvians are talking shit about other latvians when they hear that you have a russian accent (I have an accent because I come from Latgale and my latvian isn't as good as people in Kurzeme for example), so they think I am a russian and often call me "Krievs" or "okupants" which is disrespectful. Thats your 2nd fail. I can tell at least 10 more situations from real life which i witnessed when latvians are complaining about russians or vice versa.
3. As I said before, difference between me and you is that I live here and have experienced it myself, I am talking about current situation in latvia, it didn't change much since we left USSR, Latvians and Russians are different and it often causes a lot of issues between us. My father comes from russian family and mother is Latvian and they are complete opposite. It doesn't matter how many russians we have here, it doesn't make us closer in any way. It is same logic as if we would move 1 million latvians to Sweden and say that they are now similar, because in some cities we have huge % of Latvians, sounds like a complete bullshit.
1 reply
It's very obvious because of the war? You mentioned some kind of values, manners etc as if russians are disrespectful or act in a wrong way, unless it's a political discussion, people had no problems with each other. but ofc right now a lot of latvians would get more triggered and call you that way
You can read yourself why the balts and the slavs arent completely differet, what similarities they share. Even if we remove all the russians and your soviet-past, you would still be at least 15-20% close because of the Kieavan Rus' that consisted of slavic, baltic and finno-urgic tribes. And just so you understand how close you are, Belarusians are closer to lithuanians and poles but russian domination in their region made them like 90% alike. Belarus is a good example actually since they could have been the closest relatives to you and Poland but because of the russian language and russian domination in their region the things have changed a lot.
Once again, Russia and russians had a huge influence on your country, no matter how you gonna compare them. you are a good example, a russian father from the soviet and your latvian mother who is most likely pretty fluent in russian since all latvians could speak russian back in the days.
Thins conversation is useless, we are talking about different things and you are just trying to get rid of all the russians and rus' things that you have in Latvia. It also shows why Latvia is still close to Russia to these days. In 100 years a lot of things might disappear and it's all gonna be in the past but for now you are still related to each other

While in core Russia terrible "Krepostnoye pravo" (Literally slavery) existed, Latvia didn't had it. Russia allowed many nations to form, and I honestly don't understand all-negative opinion about Russia coming from Baltic States
1 reply
Negative opinion comes from occupation, it is not taken out of nowhere, years of suppression for Latvian people, we wanted to be independent, have our language which was here for very long time, have our own culture. In 1918 we were able to become independent and fight against russian army when it tried to occupy us (it is true that some Latvians supported russia and fought against independence, but it was minority). Up until 1940 Latvia was developing country and because of molotov-ribentrop pact we got occupied. Afterwards WW2 completely destroyed our country, Stalin sent our people to Siberia, russification, killing dissidents. USSR started industrialization here and brought many russian speaking people to our lands and Latvian language was slowly disappearing. Why would we love someone who did all this to us? It doesn't mean Latvians hate every russian, no, we hate people who support this ideology of USSR and many russians in latvia unfortunately support it. Even supporting war in Ukraine. Thats why tension between Latvians and russians living in Latvia is so high.
But it is true that Rezekne and Daugavpils is more russian speaking, I come from that region. Thats due to geographic location I guess, same as Narva in Estonia.
The Balts and the Slavs have always been known for their cultural affinity. They are not the same, they are different, but they are close. And Latvia is basically a mix of both.

Sri Lankan are ethnically dominant Buddhist population but culturally they are also similar to Tamilians.

I mean you can make percentage differences inside India itself.
Most of Nepal is culturally AND ethnically similar to Indian Himalayan (HP, UK) states, than they are to Tibet. Nepal and Tibet weren't exactly connected in past.

On contrary friend.
Nepal culturally has been influenced by Tibet can strongly be seen in their food habits. (Can't say about genetics cause haven't made a deep dive there).
Their food culture represents Tibet more strongly than it represents Indian. Though Indian foods has also become part of their food culture but staple strongly lean towards 1. Unique cuisine style of their own 2. Influence of Tibetan society. Same goes for the entire belt I will say. Sikkim to Ladakh has had a greater ethnical and cultural impact by Tibet than India as whole and one of the easiest way to spot such influence is to look at people's food habits.
2 replies
Eh, not really overall. I think you're misinterpreting a lot of things. I don't really know where to start, so...
First of all, Nepal has influenced Tibet, and the general lower Himalayas, a lot more than the other way around. Buddhism started in Nepal and traveled through much of Burma and South East Asia before being prominent in Tibet. Mahayana Buddhism started and evolved in India. By the time it reached Tibet, it was already a millennia old. Tibetan Buddhism is branched off from Indian Buddhism and became distinct less than 1000 years ago. It then became major in most of Tibetan Plateau. Mahayana was still primary in Nepal, but was gradually replaced by Hinduism after Indian royalty exiled to Nepal during Sultanate. Line between Hinduism and Mahayana Buddhism in Nepal is blurred and it's basically merged due to this. Most complete (or remaining) Buddhists in Nepal are Tibetan Buddhist due to this, and also because of influx caused by Chinese occupation of Tibet.
Now, racially most of Southern Nepali are similar to North Indians (Indo-Aryan) and Northern Nepali are similar to Garhwal and North East Indians (Tibeto-Burman), nothing to add there really. Linguistics are same. (Devanagari in South, Burmese in North). Tibetans are, well, Tibeto, but also Mongoloid. Infact, Tibetan Buddhism spread to Ladakh/West Tibet due to Mongol Empire.
Food! Food is hard to base your point around because of mix cuisines and general merging of variations during last century. It's general Tibeto-Burman food that we find interesting because rest is similar to ours. You'll find food similar to Nepali in North East (especially Sikkim, Meghalaya and Tripura, where it's basically identical). You can also find them in Garhwal regions. Difference is presense of pork in NE, Vegetables in Nepali/Indian versions and Chicken/goat in Tibetan versions.
I don't know about Burmese food, but it would make a lot of sense if it's identical with higher use of Pork.
Generally speaking, it's Nepali influence that we see in most of Himalayas, and before periods of conquest during medieval era, South of Himalayas and North of it were very different.
If we compare similarity, Nepal would be second only to Pakistan. The points you made would all suit for Bhutan. Nepal feels a lot different and Sikkim feels very similar to remote Nepal areas.
Most of these are based on my observation, and a bit of wikipedia.
I visited Ladakh some years ago, and it made me extremely interested in Tibetan Buddhism. I haven't had the pleasure to visit Nepal outside of Kathmandu, but I would love to trek to Base camp of Everest someday. I have grown up in Gangtok and visited Bhutan and a lot of North East.

I don't know if you've got encephalitis or if you're just generally slow. "The name Russia comes from a Medieval Latin name for Rus', a medieval state populated primarily by the East Slavs. In modern historiography, this state is usually denoted as Kievan Rus' after its capital city". It's Rus' with a generic slavic word ending (morphological term with no real equivalent in English but present in the Baltic and East Slavic languages). It's literally the same word, conjugated differently. If you have no clue about how grammar works in these languages, you should stop trying to teach me.

Nah man, I think you are incapable of understanding that both names came from the word Rus'.
Who on earth asked you about Russia? I will ask you one more time, how come Rus' = Russia if the term russia didnt exist until 1547. Russia and Kievan Rus' are two completely different things.
Russia was first mentioned in the 15th century, so around 600 years later.
Rus' consisted of many states and is the motherland of what is now called Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. By saying that Rus' = Russia you are referring to Ukraine, Belarus not existing at all and all the dutchies and states were made up and belonged to Russia and Russia only lmao

I never claimed they didn't come from the same word, I never claimed that Belarus and Ukraine weren't different nations from Russia. It's the name of the people with a word ending added to it.

"White Ruthenia White Rus, is an archaism[1][2] for the eastern part of present-day Belarus, including the cities of Polotsk, Vitebsk and Mogilev. It is a common misconception that this region may also be called White Russia, however this is incorrect with the name predating the creation of Russia by a few centuries. Instead it derives from Ruthenia, a region which lies in modern day Ukraine and Belarus. The name Belarus refers to white Ruthenia and not Russia as is commonly believed."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Ruthenia
Yes mens, you are right))
1 reply
Ruthenia is an exonym and Ukrainians and Belarusians didn't use it.
"The name Belarus is closely related with the term Belaya Rus', i.e., White Rus'. There are several claims to the origin of the name White Rus'.[25] An ethno-religious theory suggests that the name used to describe the part of old Ruthenian lands within the Grand Duchy of Lithuania that had been populated mostly by Slavs who had been Christianized early, as opposed to Black Ruthenia, which was predominantly inhabited by pagan Balts.[26] An alternative explanation for the name comments on the white clothing worn by the local Slavic population.[25] A third theory suggests that the old Rus' lands that were not conquered by the Tatars (i.e., Polotsk, Vitebsk and Mogilev) had been referred to as White Rus'.[25] A fourth theory suggests that the color white was associated with the west, and Belarus was the western part of Rus in the 9th to 13th centuries.[27]"
so what?
How can Rus' mean Russia if there were no Russia back then? from Kievan rus into the grand duchy of Vladimir then into the grand duchy of Moscow (muscovites). The term russia and russians didnt exist until 1547. Rus' and russia or russians are completely different things.
Rus' people are the ancestors of modern ukrainians, russians and belarusans.
Rus' is more ukrainian than russian. So if you wanna be that arrogant to claim that Rus' belongs to one country, you should mention Ukraine, Kyiv and the swedish rulers aka the Rurik dynasty who basically are the founders and fathers of Rus'

What would you call people from the state of Rus' in an English-ized name? You'd call them Russians, just like Belarusians from Belarus, Lithuanians from Lithuania, Latvians from Latvia or Ukrainians from Ukraine. The Muscovites (Russians) were the part of the Rus' not ruled by Lithuanians and subsequently came to be just known as Russians while a new name - Ruthenia was invented for the ancestors of modern day Ukrainians and Belarusians who lived under Lithuanian rule. Of course Rus' and Russia are completely different things when you look at the STATES but Rus' and Russia are variations of the same word when you're looking at a grammatical standpoint. The slavic languages stuck to the word Rus' while the Baltic ones used Russia (as in land of the people of the Rus' with no relation to the fucking Russian federation, Empire or whatever the fuck else). I've never said anything about "Rus' belonging to one country", that's absolutely stupid. Are you going to claim that Norwegians should rule all of the Nordic territories because their name is the closest to the name of their ancestral nation? You're a nutjob.

You must not be reading my replies.
I never said that people from the Rus' were Russians, I said that they would be called Russians if the state still existed.
The sole reason Belarus uses the word rus instead of rossija / rusija was to differentiate themselves from the Muscovite state who took the name, it's still the exact same word though.
3 replies
They would be called "rusi" or "rus' people" in english, not the russians who didnt exist back then. You still dont realize that there were no such thing as ukrainian, belarusan or russian during that time. They were called differently, lived in different regions in a state called Rus'.
Ukraine, an actual functional state was first mentioned 1185, long time before russians and Russia existed and you are telling me that these people who already lived in a state called Galicia–Volhynia and were calling themselves ukrainians would be called "russians" because the present name of Russia is similar to "Rus'" nah man go take some history classes for real

I don't claim it's called that. I called it that. It's the same thing as Turkey wanting to be referred to as Turkiye because of false friends with another word. In general country names (if they aren't translated) in these languages are formed by adding a word ending (like -ija). It's a rebranding campaign, it's still the same fucking country and nobody except some vitamin D deficient Swedish kid would get upset about it.

Supporting Ukraine but claiming that Rus' (their origin) = Russia
The major portion of Rus' history belongs to Ukraine, saying that Rus' = Russia/russians is just historically wrong and disrespectful. Like I said, russians = muscovians who werent mentinoned until 1500s. Idk how exactly a state from the 900s which name was Rus' is the same as Russia that didnt exist at that time lol
4 replies
I never said they were Russians. I never said that Rus' = Russia. I said that the word russia is a derivative of rus. History doesn't belong to anyone except the people who lived at that time, the word you're looking for is heritage. I said that Russia means the same thing as Rus' (the state) The Muscovites were called that because they were the last independent Rus' state with Ruthenia being part of Lithuania. That name has stayed in use since then. The place where the White Rus people lived can be referred to as White Russia or White Rus' - it's not that big of a fucking deal. Anyways - you're not Scandinavian because Norwegians are now called norrmän and by your logic that invalidates all other nations that emerged from the Norsemen.

just like Belarus came from Rus'
your point? Rus' doesnt mean Russia
both names derived from the same fckin term Rus'
Yet you are saying that Belarus means White Russia :D
You have a hard time undertstanding that both names are similar because they basically derived from the same term "Rus'"
Whats even funnier that the actual name of Russia is "Rossiya" while Belarus is Belarus, the closest version to its original name "Rus'"
Yet you are telling me that Belarus means White Russia even though the term existed long time before russians were even called that way. Russians = muscovites and any historican will tell you the same.
This mentions forms of Russia being used in the 960s. Russia just means land of the Rus' and has nothing to do with Muscovite Russia. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_Rus%CA%..

The name Russia came from the term Rus' just like it happened to BelaRUS. This is clearly explained in basically any source you could possibly find. whats your problem?
It's still called Baltarusija in Lithuanian and Baltkrievija in Latvian with the names for Russia being Rusija and Krievija. It's the same damn word. You have no clue about morphology in Belarusian, Russian and Lithuanian and how words are formed yet you're trying to teach me.

Just like it was called Vitryssland (White Russia) because of the USSR, your point? This was changed 4 years ago to its original form Belarus.

The original form was the "Bielaruskaja Narodnaja Respublika". Before that Belarus had never existed as an independent state. It was "bielaruskaja", not "bielarusaja". This is a possessive form. The K makes a big difference - one means that it belonged to the bielarusky, the other one would imply bielarusy - it determines the difference between "russian" and "rus". As I said, they switched to Rus upon the USSR's collapse to differentiate from Russia.

They didnt switch, they were always called that way long time before the first BNR state as well, just because the USSR renamed it and russified them just like they did with ukrainians doesnt mean shit.

even during the USSR, in russian it was called "Socialist Soviet Republic of Byelorussia" but "Socialist Soviet Republic of Belarus" in belarusan. you are just completely clueless.
"Beloruskaya" refers to White Ruthenia
"Belaya Rossiya" means "white" Russia (a state that was frst mentioned in the 15 century, before that russians were basically muscovites from Muscovia)
As you can see, 2 absolutely different names. The second one was only used by the soviet occupants who tried to russify Ukraine and Belarus by banning their names, killing anmd denying their existence and the culture/history that they have
You as a russian-speaker you should know that but I guess lack of knowledge plays a huge role.

You have no clue what the fuck you're talking about. It's not a soviet term, it's a historic term for the northern part of Ruthenia aka Belarus and it's been that way for ages. Belarus means White Russia and it always has meant that. Ukrainians, Belarusians and Russians were all part of the Rus', Ruthenia (Belarus and Ukraine) was occupied by Lithuania and during this time Muscovites came to simply be known as Russians.
1 reply
Ye, but I think you kinda forgot that Belarus had a long history before the Russian Empire or Soviet Union and the country has never had that name, ever. It only existed in Soviet Union when they changed it from Belarus' to Byelorusia (it still wasnt called exactly Russia, they were spelled differently in russian)
"The term Belorussia first rose in the days of the Russian Empire, and the Russian Tsar was usually styled "the Tsar of All the Russias", as Russia or the Russian Empire was formed by three parts of Russia—the Great, Little, and White.[21] This asserted that the territories are all Russian and all the peoples are also Russian; in the case of the Belarusians, they were variants of the Russian people.[22]"
Belarus,[a] officially the Republic of Belarus,[b] is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe
Yet you are using the term "Byelorussia" from the 90s that doesnt have any validity in 2023.

The only countries who are in the same situation political wise with Turkey are countries like Belarus, Russia, North Korea, Iran etc. What the hell ! Language the same ? Culture wise the same when Turkey is a mix of different ethnicities and colors/backgrounds ? What the hell are you talking about ? For example, Turkey has like 14 millions of Kurds ! Thats like 1/6 of total population !
If i ask you right now , where turkish ancestors coming from you wont even know because its a mix of different cultures and beliefs all over the place created by nomads. Azer is not like that.
4 replies
You show 1/6 of the population as an example, but you ignore 69 million Turks. These 14 million Kurds speak Turkish. The ancestors of Turks, Azeris and Turkmens are Oghuzs. It is true that Azeris and Turks mingled with too many peoples and lost their original nomadic identity, but it doesn't mean that they lost their culture, it is still the same. When you go to Azerbaijan, you will see the similarity with the Turkish people. I'm not even going into the your exaggerated political bullshit.

If i speak turkish doesnt make me turkish. If i live in Turkey doesnt make me Turkish either. The ancestors of Turks are so mixed because there never was a Turkish nation before nor a specific culture/ethnicity with common interests or culture. Its a mix that is why you have 16 million kurds in Turkey to begin with. You dont want to be called arabs yet many Turkish are arabs or having arabic backgrounds even. You dont want to be called Europeans because you have nothing to do with Europe culture/religion wise. You dont want to be called middle easterns either because you think you are different or something else ( better as someone told me before ). Well, thats what happens when you lack identity to begin with. You dont even know where you belong or coming from.

In that scope I think Sweden is developing into a direction neither Finland nor Norway wants to go, if you know what I mean.
And when I've met swedes & norsemen while travelling, both have a high probability to be a cool & reliable person to be with, but swedes have a certain chance of being snobbish or passively arrogant, while norwegians have higher chance of being down to earth and unconcerned with bullshit.

Well that's a great notion, but I was thinking in general. Russian slavic culture. I'm willing to say we're at least one-third similar/same. Even more perhaps, on said states or big city inhabitants of both countries for example.
Anyways Finnic people were among the three major peoples establishing Kievan Rus' while conversely through eras many russians have liked it and lived here. And not to be rude, but I believe if Russia fixed some of it's classic practical problems, our countries would look a lot like each other today. Also we share similar elemental conditions here in the north, which inevitably makes peoples a bit similar I think.

Imo its because of the nordic lifestyle, winter sports, quality of life, education, culture etc. We score mostly the same scores in index ratings and Finlands 2nd language is Swedish which makes us able to speak obviously with Swedes and helps us understand Norwegians aswell. Also we look most similar to eachother being blonde/blue eyed people. Landscapes are extremely similar and our countries are sparsely populated, densely forested with lots of freshwater lakes.
Even tho Estonia is the most linguistically similar country to Finland, since we both speak Finnic languages. However, standard Finnish and Estonian are not mutually intelligible. Also there is a high percentage of Russian speakers in Estonia who we cant understand at all.
Estonia is still a shithole in some economic aspects also Russian influence is still large there. All of this isn’t their fault and their recovery after Soviet occupation is great so hopefully they will become a rich country and assimilate the Russian community.

Serbia: 65%, we get along quite well, never invaded us and they dont want our land so they're cool mens :)

I speak for myself and the food, non-religiousness, history of cars/ bikes and the culture of beer is very similar to saxony and east Germany.
For me (and ok, I love Czechia…) countries like Switzerland, Luxemburg or France are waaay more different to my area. Czechia feels more like „home“, if you know what I mean.
