    Unfortunately, quite a lot of people disagreed. Repeatedly.

    Great idea! Since majority of people there are Slavic people, we could call it like Slavakia or Slovakia or something

      That name sounds familiar from my childhood; has it been used before? We should probably Czech.

      It’s a historical boundary of the Hungarian empire which has occupied and lost much of this territory a few times

          No Wallachia is on the other side of the Carpathians, from the circled area Transylvania and Partium are parts of Romania at the moment. Wallachia was occupied by Hungary for a very little time in the middle ages, and lastly in 1918 for some months: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Bucharest_(1918), quickly overturned in the Hungarian Romanian war of 1919

      There used to be a country roughly that shape but it was politically unstable and started world war 1.

        Austria-Hungary was a LOT bigger than just the Carpathian Basin. Though that was part of it.

                Actually the problem was the front stayed mostly stable while the mountain rivers ran red with the blood of slave soldiers

      ?

      It’s a reference to Greater Hungary. It sounds like you’re confusing the HRE and Austro-Hungarian Empire.
