October 29 is Republic Day of Turkey!

94 years ago today, after a long-lasting battle for independence, the Republic of Turkey, the nation of great dishes, great beaches and not-so-great relationships, was created.

A normal header was not enough for all of Turkey, so on the map, you can see:

• Oil Wrestling, which is totally not homo and 100% manly
• Hezarfen Ahmet Çelebi, the first man to actually fly (and succeed!)
• The Pontic Greeks, which are totally not alive in Trabzon (or Trebizond, as some people like to call it)
• Mount Ararat, the highest point in Turkey and one of the main causes for Armenia to be pissed off
• NATO getting pissed off at Turkey for, obvious reasons
• Turkey has a lot of natural miracles, like the Fairy chimneys. It also has a lot of historical artifacts, like the Nemrut Mountain Stone Faces.
• Turkish and Greek students, at their “nationalist” and “normal” modes.
• Batman is actually Turkish, did you know?
• Surprisingly, there are more Russian tourists in Turkey’s southern coast than Turkish tourists themselves.
• For Enosis not to prevail, Turkey did the rightful thing by only stirring up more controversy.
• Greece, being too poor to actually own a functional submarine
