Yep, Lake Slovakia looks like it's the largest true lake, maybe tied with the Lake Michigan-Huron (which are actually connected as a single lake) It should be the 4th or 5th largest body of liquid, the ranking goes something like this: - Global Ocean - Kraken Sea (Titan) - Caspian Sea - Lake Slovakia? - Ligeian Sea (Titan) - Lake Michigan-Huron - Lake Superior

Honestly, swapping Denmark and Scotland is the most blursed thing. It's impossibly cursed for Germany since they now need to deal with those maniacs and impossibly blessed for the rest of Great Britain because we no longer need to share an island with Dundee.
