A Christmas Prince, The Royal Wedding and The Royal Baby. (And the Princess Switch trilogy)

They’re about a woman from New York who falls in love with a prince from Europe and marries him.

I thought the country they live in is meant to be tiny like San Marino or Lichtenstein. And the film seems to suggest it’s the case, given they say Aldovia doesn’t have a military.

But this map (albeit from 1419) of Aldovia, Belgravia and Pengali, the latter being countries in a parallel in-universe project and a sequel would completely alter history if the countries were or are even a bit of the size.

Like obviously it’s a silly thing made for Americans who don’t understand the scale of Europe’s geography and history but it’s funny thinking about the historical ramifications.

What happened in either World Wars. Was Pengali part of the USSR? Or even further back with Napoleon or the 30 years war etc.

    No you see, we have to begin in the late 9th century... putin-wink

    ...where shortly after Christianization, there was a personal union between the First Bulgarian Empire and Greater Moravia. It first was an arrangement of necessity and mutual defense, but the marriage was unusually strong and long-lasting, and after 22 years upon the death of Stanceslas, his firstborn son Aldo I (later known as the Great) was elected by the Danubian nobles to serve as king of a permanently unified land.
