Nobody calls it “eurojank”. They call it “slavjank”. Slavic counties. Like for example, Ukraine, which, hey, is exactly where Stalker developer Volodymyr Yezhov comes from.
The game is literally about the Chernobyl exclusion zone in Ukraine. Don’t bitch about “geofencing” a genre of games when Stalker geofences its own fictional universe.
It’s like an anime creator bitching about people associating it with Japan when the stories are all strangely focused on Japan for some reason.
Maybe it’s a US/EU difference, where EU people wanted to be more specific. I was responding to the incorrect claim that nobody uses the the term “eurojank”.
It’s a bit different though isn’t it. Missouri is a state, an internal administrative district inside a country. I feel like it’s a bit different than not knowing where a country is.
Assuming you aren’t from Ukraine, how much did Ukraine impact your daily life/touch your daily awareness before it became a battlefield? Countries shouldn’t gain more respect just because they’re incorporated as a country, especially when it’s halfway across the world.
(Researched, via Wikipedia and WorldPopulationReview) Missouri has a population of 6.3 million and total land area of ~178K km; larger in size than countries like Greece and Hungary, and more populous than countries like Denmark and Finland and Ireland. So it should be less regarded than any of those countries because it remains a state?
My stance is: either you should believe any population center of a reasonably large size/population density is worth memorizing or you should just memorize the ones relatively important to you.
There are probably distinct provinces in Canada and China outperforming many countries, so why should they exist on a lower tier than a “country”, just because they were persuaded or “persuaded” to incorporate into something larger?
Ukraine has been always one of the biggest wheat and fertilizer producers in the world.
Is Missouri part of international decition making? Does Missouri participate in UN summits? Does the governor of Missouri have voice in international treaties? Does it have embassy in other countries?

Because povinces dont decide foreign policies. Dont have militaries, cant make treaties.

I’ve literally never seen anyone call it “slavjank”
I suppose it’s one moderately popular youtuber that used the term. So now it’s supposed to be part of everyone’s vocabulary.
Slavjank!

I suspect that most Americans don’t know where Europe is, what countries make it up, and couldn’t point to Ukraine on a map.
That’s probably true.
Just like I suspect most Europeans couldn’t point out Mississippi or Missouri or Missachetts on the map.
Or even know that “Missachetts” isn’t a real state.

Eurojank also exists. But, yeah; Stalker is Slavjank, not Eurojank.
