Austria Österreich Öster = Eastern reich = realm Österreich = The Eastern Realm This is why the night of the Eastern Country is sleepless Edit: Changed 'reich = country' to 'reich = realm' as per advised. (btw Me and muh touhou buddies were discussing whether a few songs could use a revamp of title translation, like 'The Gensokyo The Gods Loved'. We found 'A Gensokyo Enchanted with Deities' more palatable to our taste.)

[@uzbagoitel7777]

Touhou literally means something like "eastern direction"

[@racist4595]

eastern realm not nation

[@JastwatchingYT]

reich doesn't really have a english translation so in this case it's realm.

[@samkhodabakhshzadeh7244]

I hate to be the well akshually guy but the word nation in german is Nation(pronounced: "nah-tion") and Reich means something along the lines of "realm" and/or "kingdom" example: Großdeutsches Reich would mean "greater german *Realm*" and österreich means "eastern *realm*/*kingdom*". the reason I want to make the distinguishment between nation and realm/kingdom is that when saying nation you're implying a nation-state which is really a new idea far newer than the word Reich.

[@uckbritley1305]

"reich" means "realm" and is usually meaning empire or kingdom, not country

Never thought I would see the day where I could appreciate a work of art as both a Touhou fan and an EU4 fan. Humanity has come a long way. Maybe too long.
