Is your regional identity strong? Or do most people not care about it?

People still identify as Lower and Upper Carniolan cause they speak different dialects.

The Pale

not as independence movement or anything
but the dialect and customs are alive, especially in the countryside

You bunch of niggers live in non-countries.
Do you even know what a nation is? Or is it just a "bad word" for you?

how does it feel to have your home be converted into a hideous concrete jungle?

Sicily, so, in a sense, a mix of numerous historical regions (Reign of the Two Sicilies, Roman province, Bizantine territory, etc.)

nothing, where i live is messy and disorderly but has some good nature and a good park. it's not like every part of Tokyo is chock-full of people anyways

moi aussi
dans quelle ville habitez-vous

viharsarok, translates to storm corner, i moved because its just not developing

well from my perspective 10k is a shitton of people

Ulster, I miss it bros

also where i live was nothing but just a small village with vast fields and was developed at the end of the 19c for the urban expansion so there's not really so-called "historical continuum" here

Thy, home of the Teutons

not really, maybe it's mostly because we are insectoids? my ward is mildly crowded but not insufferable anyways

my place has about 80 people in it
village nearby is pretty large it has like 700 people

my town has 15k but i don't give a damn
my sister who's in a rural area said she can't stand the crowdedness of Tokyo when she came back tho

Carniola

A "Carniolan" identity only exists in a small border land by the Sava river where it's used as the defining trait vis-a-vis the Styrians on the other side of the river. Carniolan used to be synonymous with Slovene but after the rise of nationalism and later the fall of Austria-Hungary, Carniola's internal divisions (e.g. Upper Carniola) gained more strength in forming regional identities.

yea, even people who live in the big city of croatia cant stand huge places like tokyo and think them as smothering

do you live in 東大和市? I stayed there for a couple months back in 2011

Herzegovina

ah ok. Wasn't teaching there but was part of a foreign exchange program after I graduated hs. It didn't seem like a bad area.

Normandie.

lesser poland

Rauma, I guess.

hs exchange? also did you go to the Sayama Lake? adorable shit. we go there on January 1st to see the sunrise

personally i dont consider myself as someone ethnically differnet and people here also mostly dont but this is due to lesser poland basically being a somewhat of a "Poland original"

I did actually. I'm from the great lakes region of the US and my host family thought I would like to see it. Reminded me a lot of home.

British Malta, SMOM, and almost anything Sicily was.

Ruthenia

Mazovia

but Poland is very centralized and regional identity doesn't matter at all, it barely exists, especially that Poland changed its borders and resettled population very often, few people have their family roots in the place they live in

Lithuanian Highlands

But I second my polish m8 here
Regional identity mostly a meme. "oh you're from X? Then you must be really greedy lol" "oh you're from Y? that's why you speak so funny lol"

bit more context: 4th largest city of the roman empire, pretty big player in the HRE, now kinda irrelevant but still comfy with strong regional patriotism. Stupid amount of chinese tourists because it was the birthplace of Karl Marx

>Regional identity mostly a meme. "oh you're from X? Then you must be really greedy lol" "oh you're from Y? that's why you speak so funny lol"

We don't even have such stereotypes. When asked "where are you from", no one would say the name of the historical region, just the name of the city, or, if it was a small town/village, the name of its administrative subdivision (that are rather artificial here). Being from Greater Poland, Lesser Poland, Mazovia etc. doesn't have any stereotypical connotation, not even memes.

Huh, that's weird, considering how large Poland is and historically different the East and West are + Silesia's Czech identity.

Also something interesting I found on a wiki article about Lithuania's historical-cultural regions: A 2008 survey of freshmen and sophomores (first- and second-year students) at Kaunas' Vytautas Magnus University found that 80% of the students continued to identify themselves with one of the regions

>considering how large Poland

I told you Poland had changed its borders many times in history that entailed population exchange. How can people whose families have lived in Silesia or Pomerania for barely 70 years have any deep connection with the region they live in? All their grandfathers are buried somewhere around Lviv or Vilnius.

As for other regions, Poland is large because we forgot about regional differences. In the era of partitions (19th century) all regional identities were looked down upon by Polish intelligentsia because they broke Polish unity that was often used by our occupants. Especially Germans supported Silesian or Kashubian identities to separate them from the Polish nation and weaken it. Declaring yourself as anything but a Pole was considered a treason.

If we had strong regional identities, Poland would have never emerged as a united and large state because we didn't have our Prussia that would have united us by force (like in Germany) and separated identities wouldn't have done it willingly.

We actually understood it because we had done it to Belarussians and Ukrainians before, we basically created them and separated them from Russians. Germans wanted to chop Polish ethnicities the same way, but we managed to resist, only Silesians are half-separated but we stopped this process in the middle.
