    I like to imagine an alternate universe where the Kaliningrad Oblast didn’t exist, and in its place was a 4th Baltic country, I call it Dooland (formal name: Republic of Dooland).

    Their language, Doolish, is actually a Germanic language based on German, but simpler than even English, and doesn’t have any conjugation tenses or case system, and phonetics similar to Italian (yes, a Germanic language where the R makes the trill sound).

    The flag is a horizontal tricolor, purple on top (yes, purple), blue in the middle, and green on the bottom, representing grasslands late at dusk in a starry night sky, where it’s usually pretty cold. Purple goes on the top because idk it looks better?

    Cities include the capital, which I named Almara (don’t ask why), where a sandwich shaped like an ice cream cone is sold (unfortunately I stole this idea from Disney), however it’s not the biggest city, that title goes to Celestia (way nicer name), where the aurora borealis can be seen, usually next to a giant grass field which the flag is based on. It also houses a very popular music festival that doubles as its tourist attraction.

    In terms of a national animal, I went with the koi fish. It has a very calm vibe if you ask me.

    Seems like a fun country if it did exist.
