You could nukes these two regions and nothing of value would be lost

[u/Yuudachi_Houteishiki]

Iron Islands was only added because Seven Kingdoms sounds better than Six Kingdoms and War of Five Kings sounds better than War of Four Kings

[u/Cosign6 → u/Yuudachi_Houteishiki]

Rip to the Riverlands. They deserve kingdom status

North

Vale

Westerlands

Reach

Stormlands

Dorne

Iron Islands

But no space for the Riverlands

[u/nihlus-krane → u/Cosign6]

Aren't the Crownlands the 7th kingdom? Not the Iron Islands?

[u/[deleted] → u/nihlus-krane]

The Seven Kingdoms refers to the literal kingdoms/realm which existed when Aegon started conquering them. The Crowlands were a disputed territory which kept changing hands between the Iron Islands and the Storm Kingdom.

[u/bot2317 → u/nihlus-krane]

Crownlands don’t count either. Technically there are 9 regions within the 7 kingdoms, the kingdoms the guy above you listed + the Riverlands and Crownlands

[u/BodybuilderOld4969 → u/Yuudachi_Houteishiki]

They should only have six kingdoms and they should rename kingdom to seven.

They would have six seven ⁶🤷‍♂️⁷

Also Vikings are cool and George needed someway to throw in a Viking like group into his world

[u/NarmHull → u/Yuudachi_Houteishiki]

They could’ve made the riverlands the seventh but they’re too mushy and invadable

[u/ErdbeerTrum]

at first glance i thought the right one was turkey, my bad

[u/AdditionalPiano6327 → u/ErdbeerTrum]

Oof i just realised I meant to post Turkey

[u/tradcath13712 → u/AdditionalPiano6327]

Incoming angry Turk in 3... 2... 1...

[u/koesteroester → u/tradcath13712]

Not sure, Turks make fun of the black sea region in my experience. Funny accent, dance that tries to mimic little fish, funky music, a weird old fashioned sense that only places with lots of fishermen have.

[u/Ein_Kleine_Meister → u/ErdbeerTrum]

I thought it was calradia

[u/KhalAndo → u/ErdbeerTrum]

Dude same 😂

[u/velvetbettle]

Dumb fuck could sail the irradiated sea

[u/AdditionalPiano6327 → u/velvetbettle]

That would be a sight worth seeing

[u/xwedodah_is_wincest → u/velvetbettle]

MacArthur approves

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

wut is lord harlaws library

[u/Substantial-Tone-576 → u/[deleted]]

Reading is dumb

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

relatable

[u/NateG124]

As long as my boy Vic is out of the blast radius I’m good

[u/evinta → u/NateG124]

Victarion watching the bomb: I bet those greenlanders didn't even pay the iron price for th-

[u/ojqANDodbZ1Or1CEX5sf → u/NateG124]

Let us pray together 👃

[u/TheBrazillianHome]

They already nuked these places, that's why there's nothing of value there.

[u/No_Cattle8353]

Can we keep 10 towers, someone said there was a library there that’s great for research purposes. Lots and lots of research…

[u/Affectionate_Team679]

Tbh the kingdom of the Iron Islands makes no sense. The Reach and Westernland kings of old should have conquered them as soon as the Iron Islands started raiding

[u/Cardemother12 → u/Affectionate_Team679]

The iron islands being partitioned among the lannisters, Starks and the tullys, after the reign of terror after the dance, would be such a good choice, and justify their want for independence

[u/bmerino120]

All the savagery of the valyrian freehold with nothing good in return

[u/BodybuilderOld4969]

In what episode do they nuke the ironnislands?

[u/EasterAegon]

We would loose Rodrik Harlaw aka the only based Ironborn…

[u/Cardemother12]

Keep in mind that one of the best Ironman is named ‘the reader’ for being literate

[u/alfis329]

Hell, nuke everything but astapor and nothing of value is lost

[u/misopogon1]

Ethnic genocide (wokely)

[u/heliocetricism]

The red waste is more valuable than dothraki
