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.

Lol they used the most basic "renaissance Europe" map they could find. This is the one you can find in almost every poster store that sells posters of maps, this is so funny

The thing that confuses me is that it isn’t "renaissance Europe" but a depiction of Europe in antiquity. If they actually wanted a 15. century map, they could’ve gotten way better ones.

Yeah I didn't know how to phrase "map from 15th century depicting earlier europe"
