Edit: I know for some countries it's more nuanced but i felt like a "neither/something in between" is a cop out.In that case vote for who's most similar to your country in the slightest.
I know that there ARE European dynasties that are referred to as such, but more often than not they are referred to as 'houses'. To make things more inconsistent, Mongol political factions are often also called 'houses', i.e. 'House of Ogedai', so I'm confused as to what historians had in mind when using these terms.
They seem to shift away from a fully Slavic genetic profile, i was able to get the following models for them, i am sure they have something western in them but there is a certain reddit user who keeps denying it.

If it's a "yes" the next poll will be about deciding the day
Liquipedia is empty, anywhere else I can see the schedule? Or do you not want people to watch the games?
As the title suggests, I am an European (italian) journalist and I've been interested since last year in making a documentary about the Donbass situation in Ukraine. I would like to produce this project but I would like to ask if someone of you had a similar experience, and to know if something like this is possible (I work for a local newspaper)
Can I hope to make this happen? Do I need to contact state offices like the embassy in Ukraine or similar or can I just make this happen with fixers?
Thank you all
Do you have personal experience in this topic?
Do Germany, France and Britain have a particular perception in Azerbaijan, particularly in relation to NK?
I was unaware quite how many Armenians live in France, hence the Presidential candidates visiting NK.
Germany has a large Turkish population - does this have any influence on relations between it and the South Caucasus and how you perceive it?
And then there's Britain. I am genuinely clueless what our role is, if we have one at all. I would have thought that we are seen as neutral but then again, many times I have found that people in countries thousands of miles away resent Britain for interference that the population here is completely unaware of.
Basically title. I'm... bored? I guess? Of Tolkienesque fantasy and sci fi that's very much just western European culture that's in space or whatever.
I want a fantasy book that's got elements of mythologies and religions that, quite frankly, I know little about. I want sci fi that's got a different view on the future, whether it's a hopeful, man made it to the stars future or a bleak, man destroyed itself future (like in the Metro series).
And when I say western, I really do mean, like, Britain and France and the US. If there's something good from like Russia or other Eastern European nations that's different from what is normally read in west, I'd love to read it.
As for what types of fantasy I tend to like: high fantasy, urban fantasy, dark fantasy, and historical fantasy.
Sci fi: dystopian, post-apocalyptic, all the -punks (cyber, bio, diesel, steam, etc.), space opera, and military sci fi.
Languages like German, French, and Italian use their correspondent translations of either the verb "to be" or "to have" for auxiliary verbs to build their respective Perfect tenses.
In contrast, languages like English and Spanish only ever use the verb "to have" to do the same.
I wonder why that is.
What about the other European Y-DNA haplogroups like I2, I1, J2, and E? What were the physical characteristics of these haplogroups? Was the Yamnaya culture dominated by both R1b and R1a and that R1b was spread by western Indo-Europeans into western Europe and R1a was spread by eastern Indo-Europeans into Central and Inner Asia, or what I believe right now to be the most likely hypothesis that Yamnaya was R1b dominant and initial PIE migrations spread R1b into western Europe and Inner Asia (Afanasievo) and Corded Ware received higher EHG admixture and spread R1a to eastern Europe and Central Asia, hence the Proto-Tocharians having initially been R1b-dominant and speaking a Centum language but then got partially satemised by the influx of Andronovo
What's even the difference between R1a and R1b if according to u/behindthebeyond, Y-DNA haplogroups have nothing to do with appearances at all?
OG 3-2 Tundra
OG go the distance, playing eight games on the final day to secure the final slot at TI, ensuring that they have a chance to three-peat.
Congratulations to SumaiL, Topson, Ceb, Saksa, and N0tail!
Tough break for Tundra, who were undefeated in the qualifier until the finals, even having a 2-1 lead.
The 18 teams have been decided. TI10 begins in October.
This could be for a job, for schooling, or just because you wanted to (any reason is fine).
I am especially (but not exclusively) curious for those of you who moved from a Western EU country (for instance IE, NL, FR) to a non-EU Eastern country (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ukraine, Belarus, North Macedonia, etc.).
I should reiterate that I am also curious about those who have moved between member states from West to East (like from Belgium to Bulgaria for instance).
I read a paper in uni that claimed the cultural structures that lead to the nuclear family developped in the renaissance. Were these structures really different from medieval families or are they just the first that we have detailed accounts of?
Or not as interesting as balkan history
Sorry for not censoring France
