You really have a sense of humour. A look at the real and imaginary maps of Europe shows that your people would be dumped on a nonexistent island; in other words, into the Atlantic Ocean.

did you read the article?

 

It was a very light-hearted article (the tongue-in-cheek references to Ruritania and Vulgaria should give that away if nothting else), yet it made some interesting points about some of the nations that got moved around on the fictional map. Nice way to slip the pill of a few bitter truths - with a big dose of comedy!

 

in the same time it shows once again that franks(Westerners) have no clue about eastern part of Europe...
