>brits are savages
TIL

>>213027931

Oh cool I was looking for some justification making singapore javanese in my first EU5 campaign

>OMG MY MOST SACRED ARTIFACT WE WERE LITERALLY JUST ABOUT TO GO OUT AND WORSHIP IT WAAAAAH
>Artefact in question was buried under shit and forgotten for literally nearly 1000 years. Walking distance away is probably a temple left to rot because the locals don't give a fuck
