  1. Small Congress scandal: at the opening ball of the Congress of Vienna, rumour had it that a quarter of the 10,000 silver teaspoons bearing the imperial crest quietly disappeared into the crowd.

    I would treat this more as a perfect Congress anecdote than a precise inventory report — but honestly, that makes it even better.
    Diplomacy, spectacle, gossip… and apparently a few unofficial souvenirs.

  2. I’m running a small historical game here: suggest European countries, I roll a magic die 🎲, then prepare a deep dive into a real person connected to that country and the Congress of Vienna.

    And now there comes Andorra. It was selected.

    It was not exactly overflowing with obvious diplomatic celebrities in XIX.

    If the die chooses it, I may have to bend history, geography, and some mountains backwards.

    I promised I would try.
    But I am slightly worried. 😅

  6. Everybody, please stop naming European countries. I beg you. The magic die list is finally complete 🎲
    Number 6 is Romania — specifically Transylvania 🧛‍♂️

    Tomorrow the die decides which country gets the next deep dive into a real person connected to the Congress of Vienna.

    Final list:
    1 — Andorra
    2 — Finland
    3 — Austria
    4 — Serbia
    5 — Greece
    6 — Romania / Transylvania
