I recall playing one in an internet chat room once. There was a bot that would randomly spawn countryballs. If you guessed the flag fast enough, you gained the card.

Fun fact: Constantinople wasn't really renamed to Istanbul. The name already was in use even under Byzantine rule and just somehow replaced Constantinople in terms of popularity in the following centuries until it was officially declared Istanbul when the Turkish Republic was founded.
Istanbul actualy means "Towards the City" in greek. The Byzantines called Constantinople "Polis" (The City) because it had a rlly long name and it was also the most prestigious city of the empire.

a Video that just contains Greece and Turkey... Thats The Best Video i2ve Ever watched
Funfact: In the Cars movie universe Turkey is called Turnkey. (get it "turn" "key")
Yes they joined NATO together specifically so that neither can veto the other joining once they're in.
This implies a level of planning between these two countried that makes me think Türkiye and Greece view hating each other as a 9-5 job.
As a Greek, I'm starting getting bored with Greek-Turkish rivalry. Let's get the OG rivalry with Persian/Iran.
Yeah no, that greeko Iranian rivalry isn't strong anymore, you both got beaten up by the rashidun khaliphate
Greece's interest overlap with Iran's
For example
1)Armenian conquest of Azerbaijan
2)Partition of Turkey between Syria, Iran, Greece and Armenia
Iran could actually support Greece in a conflict with Turkey
0:57 the Scout badge for Nuclear Biological and Chemical cleanup?
5:47 the US probably made sure they both joined at the same time because otherwise whoever got in first probably would’ve never let the other in
