europe (outside of scandinavia) has no nature

It’s southern Europe as well, can you read a map Kongolese Moroccan?

>>212587138 (OP)
For instance in mainland france (so outside corsica and all the extra european regions), virtually all the forests have been harvested several times in the last 50 years

scandaniva has no nature nothing but 1 tree that's it
no real european forests

>>212587306
More nature than in the combined mainland europe

>>212587138 (OP)
Come here and see.

>>212587306
hmm, guess my part of the simulation has an enhanced forest mod pack installed

>>212587138 (OP)
Europeans have been working the land intensively since the ancient times. Look up how the ancient Romans mined silver in Spain.

>>212587306
The Taiga has a soulfulness matched by few

>>212587712
Idk. I was visiting Kaliningrad once and also saw some pics of Central European forests. Hey look kinda better than what I see all my life.
Because there is no many centuries old beeches and oaks which are thick as fuck. Only tons of pine kind of trees which can be quite thick, but will never be as cool and magnificent as an old oak.

>>212587871
Oak and oak leaves are used to symbolise germany. Thats also why our Infantry (Jäger/Hunters) have it as insignia. Also was traditionally seen as a holy tree to Donar/Thor and thus attributed to lightning (drawing it, but probably because old/tall oaks would obviously draw it more and be better at surviving it). In regards to trees, local village/town justice was often done under Linden trees, the Gerichts/Court Linde was a thing still in medieaval times. Funny germanic leftovers. Pine forests were more at hing used to reforest fast and get wood fast. Old mixed or leaf forests are rarer due to the usage of so much land.

>>212588058
Old European traditions.

>>212590421
We share a lot in europe

Civilization was one of the worst things to happen to Europe
Society can’t collapse soon enough

>>212587712
Taiga is pretty fucking boring actually.

>england entirely in the red
What did I do to be born in this shithole

>>212587712
I am jealous for not having taiga in my cunt. It's so majestic, quiet and it doesn't fucking smell when wet like deciduous forests

>>212588058
By the way there are tons of oaks on the sides of the old teutonic roads in Kaliningrad oblast. As I've heard from our tour guide locals call them "the last teutons" or "the last wehrmacht soldiers" because of some bad or drunk drivers kill themselves by colliding with these old trees.

>>212587871
Also looks like we have such forests, I just don't go out of my region much. Picrel is from Russia.

>>212588058

>>212587138 (OP)
As someone who grew up in a blue spot. The nature doesn't make up for the shitty rural societies where you either move, an hero, or do heroin until you die

>>212591309
>shitty rural societies
in what way?

>>212591309
aa someone who live in a blue spot you sound gay.

>>212591579
and I'm sure you're happy fucking your brother and shooting up heroin, so you do you faggot

>>212591411
Its dead. Nothing happens there. No job opportunities besides taking care of the elderly. Rumourmill is crazy, everyone will know everything from your private life cause some people can't stop yapping. Out of my old class, maybe 2-3 people are still back there, the rest moved or died.

>>212591840
i get left alone, no one bothers me, i dont need to lock my front door, i have unlimited access to nature, nothing happends (in a good way) job options are just the same as in a city unless you are some barista, cost of living is 2000€ less each month.
whats not to like?

fuck Greenness fags

>>212591840
>yapping
Gossip is an issue in NW Europe? I thought people didn't pry and kept to themselves.

This makes me curious, what is it like when your entire Scandinavian country is the size of a mid sized town (Faroes)?

>>212592646
yapping is only an issue if you care. stop caring and its not an issue, simple as.

>>212587138 (OP)
finland has nature too, you know

>>212587637
There's really not a huge difference there. Its slightly better because of dead wood and bit older trees but its still pretty much a monoculture. Our primary forest got more or less exterminated a couple hundred years ago. Old growth in Norway is at under 2%, in Sweden 3%, Finland 6%. Its just miniscule. There are areas with more 'naturalized' forest, its interspersed with the pine plantation. I guess it could be way worse but it just makes me angry thinking about it.

>>212592554
That's Casa de campo anon, it's just a poststamp compared to a proper forest.

>>212592791
You're Scandinavian though.

>>212592899
old growth is a bit of a misunderstanding. after 150 years its impossible to tell if its untouched old growth or been logged. for a regular hiker, 20-50 years is enough, you cant tell that its been logged without digging deep. norway barely has any forests at all our nature is in the highlands with twisted birch as the most common trees.

>>212592934
no he isnt

>>212587138 (OP)
Ah yes the nature of Iceland who cut down all their forests and killed all the native animals.

>>212593143
Thats still a lot more pristine than anywhere else in europe. Here every forest has been cut down and regrown multiple times and you can actually see it from space because at some point every tree of this country outside of corsica has been comoletely cut down

>>212587306
Western Norway has rainforest

>>212593490
The icelandic highlands are nature.
Forests arent the only kind of existing biomes.
Also iceland never had any native mammals to begin with. Youre mistaking it for australia or nz that had a bunch of giat elephant birds around

>>212587138 (OP)
Love going for drives in the danish forest

>>212587306
Taiga forest is very different experience depending on what time of the year you visit it. Did you know that Scandinavia has four seasons?! Very sugoi.

>>212590718
Thats why they do not build alley anymore, its apparently a measurable fact that people speed up in alleys and more easily loose control of their cars and then die. Solution is only planting trees on one side. Sadly ugly.

>>212587138 (OP)
Flanders and England truly are hell on earth. No other nation could understand our pain.

>>212594099
???

>>212594048
There was a road near my hometown which was lined with fuckhuge old trees on both sides of the road only like 20cm off and there were multiple memorials for dead people.

>>212594254
Exactly, gnarly stuff.

I speak for the trees, and the trees say 6 million isn't enough.

>>212593942
Our top 10% spots are all untouched biodiverse mountain forests with many different animals like large birds, mammals, streams and lakes with indigenous fish etc.
Meanwhile most of top 10% is also occupied by Iceland which is basically a barren desert. Okaaaayy...

>>212594480
Why is it illegal to camp in greece

>>212587138 (OP)
As you can see 50% of Spain has High Nature density. And the difference with the nordics is that people inhabit those areas too. 80% of those areas in the nordics are uninhabited and that is why they have high nature density.

Also from what I have seen they are mostly plantation of trees (in the nordics) so no real and pure nature either. Anyways congratulations to both of our areas but we win again (we have 50% of all fauna and flora biodiversity of all of Europe combined)

>>212594796
Italy has more though.
Thats how peninsula works

>>212594717
You mean with a fire? For obvious reasons.

People (especially certain Swedes here) love to talk shit about our nature and "muh forest plantations" (while not understand the difference between planted forest and forest plantations..) so all I have to say is this.
I love my local nature. It's a perfect mix of forest, water, wetland and rocky terrain.

>>212594796
Do you think its possible to live in the spanish wilderness without being noticed by the gov or is it heavily monitored like in other European cunts?
>>212594845
Idk what you mean. We get periods where its really dry but you're still kind of allowed to make a fire if you are really careful and next to water. Why can't greece allow fires? It just says all wild camping is mostly illegal

>>212594995
>We get periods where its really dry but you're still kind of allowed to make a fire
Here it's forbidden to make an open fire in such times. Sometimes it's even forbidden to visit forests, when it's extremely dry. All in order to protect it.
It's not like people really follow this law, but still.

>>212594995
Its no wilderness, just a bunch of forest clusters with villages sprinkled around.
A bit like in italy or in the alps

>>212587138 (OP)
that blue part in Italy is beautiful, very underrated 2bh.

>>212594995
Because our forests aren't the same ours are much thicker and the climate is very different too. How often does it hit 40+ in Norway?

>>212592554
I did my erasmus in Madrid and I went biking in casa de campo a lot, loved that place, best urban park I’ve ever seen. I had a secret spot too which was peak comfy.

>>212595127
What if I roam the french countryside and scare the local boomers?
