Some other anon elsewhere on /trv/ was saying Bratislava was like the US in the 2000s.

Well, what are some other examples?

- Tajikistan is like pre-revolution Iran / Persia in that being part of the USSR helped shield it from the religious revolutions and theocracy that have plagued main Iran; its language is very close to Persian / Farsi.
- Taiwan is sort of like "China if the Communists lost", but sort of isn't since it feels refreshing and modern rather than some old relic.
- Japan is obviously not China, and you'd have to be pretty retarded to mistake one for the other for over a day... but people say they've preserved a lot of Tang dynasty-style architecture in their temples, etc. Even their language, while not a direct sibling to Chinese, preserves many etymologically Chinese phrases whose Chinese cognates would sound archaic.
- Poland and Hungary echo Germany before it went woke, and have more, er, homogenous populations (though not entirely 100%).
- Finland and the Baltics are great places to see Russian-styled architecture if travel to Russia or (((Ukraine))) is presently unfeasible.
- Croatia is like the coastal parts of Italy before bad tourists started ruining it.
- Montenegro, Bosnia, and Albania (pictured) are like the coastal parts of Croatia before bad tourists started ruining it (the latter two are Muslim-majority countries, but apparently they're more based than western Euro countries currently being overrun with muzzies like France and Germany?).
- Miami is sort of like pre-revolution Cuba and has a large exiled Cuban population, though it's still obviously in America (but nevertheless, large parts of the city are Spanish-monolingual).
- This is sort of cheating since it's in the same country, but parts of the Great Plains and Mountain West (e.g. ID and SD) are said to resemble the 90s-2000s US in culture and lifestyle.
- Argentina and Chile are apparently great places to be if you're a white supremacist - think a European country but colder.
