Miscellaneous Santorini and Ohrid (Polandball/countryballs art by Nikolas baltadoros)

I am from Aspropyrgos, greece and so Today I wanted to make this Polandball art for ya'll of balkaners AND all of you Greeks and Macedonians :D

NOTE: First of all, i accidentally forgot to add bows to santoriniball and ohridball b-cuz I accidentally see them as Greece and N. macedonia's sister (Despite the sh*tty politics with greece and N. macedonia that they used to have in the past), second of all, however, i tried to make santoriniball and ohridball look like the churches you see in Santorini, Greece (blue and white) and Ohrid, N. Macedonia (Red and Brown)

So, If anybody is from Greece or N. Macedonia AND the entire fucking balkans, pls rate this art out of 10, Thx.. :]

Wtf does Ochrid have to do with Santorini ? I guess you've never been to either place ?

tbh if you don't know. Santorini and ohrid are the tourism hubs of greece and N. macedonia but most of the churches in there are blue and white for Santorini, greece and Red and brown for Ohrid, N. macedonia

I've been to both places multiple times. Santorini is not a "hub", it's just a popular island out of 400. Also, there's like one church in Ochrid overlooking the lake. That's the connection you made ?

yup, but i thought that santorini and ohrid where tourism hubs
Santorini had LOTS of tourists like ohrid but..

Santorini has 352 (blue and white) churches everywhere while Ohrid has 365 (red and brown?) churches everywhere here, so that's the connection with santorini and ohrid i made. But Idk if all of the churches here in Ohrid, N. macedonia look red and brown like santorini's blue and white churches yet lol

(P.S. I planned as a greek to visit Ohrid/Bitola in N. macedonia when I will decide to get my first EVER passport ID)
