I'll start with the Eastern Roman Empire and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. What are some other extremely 'Reddit' countries?

    I guess the main difference is that there are no total wars or paradox games from the time period following the fall of Rome to medieval times.

    which sucks, because it's a really interesting period!

    Also not sure why Charlemagne isn’t as big a deal as Arthur in popular culture

    assuming you're in the anglosphere, that's probably anglo bias talking - fairly sure charlemagne is a much bigger deal in france

      Mostly Swedish. But if we look at popular culture outputs, the most famous depictions of the paladins of Charlemagne is as femboys in gacha games. You'd think there's be something else.

      The term Paladin is pretty well known though, so I guess there is that.
