Fun fact: Mongolia is one of the only countries I've ever heard of that asked to be annexed.
By the USSR.
On many occasions.

I guess this could be a follow up to the last comic.

Explanation:
Serbia (and others like Montenegro) have two official Alphabets, Gaj's Latin and Vuk's Cyrillic which is basically Serbianized Latin and Cyrillic.

So in Gaj's Latin or basically most Latin pronounce "Pp" as "Pp", While Vuk's Cyrillic or Basically most Cyrillic pronounce "Рр" as "Rr" like "Roll"

Yep, they don't actually touch each other, you have to look REALLY close on a map to see it. In fact, they're only 12 miles apart, and the mountain where they nearly intersect is named "friendship peak"

My Last comic drawn with colored pencils, before I got a marker set for my brithday. Truly the end of an era.

Crazy that the German language has existed for thousands of years, and Britian had so many chances to get rid of the name, but it's still there. Technically "Großbritannien" means "great Britian" but that's just as commonly used.

I'd actually really like to see a movie where aliens showed up near the beginning of the cold war. It would definitely be very a very awkward time.

Although, it is funny that Switzerland themself was on neither side, I guess they 'broke the code'.

They don't call it the 'graveyard of empires' for nothing.
