The Wombat File Is Yours to Keep

Belgium and the Netherlands.

Bulgaria and Hungary
Bonus: Moravia

Nothing yet.

Switzerland and Luxembourg.

Bonus: Baldwinistan.

J. is slightly warmer than B.

Poland and Lithuania

Nope. And that's not particularly warm.

Of course he's warmer. I always just pick up scavenger wins when the wombat gives the umpteenth clue.

Romania and Turkey.

Bonus: Timurlania.

Bulgaria and Turkey

or Bulgaria and Romania

Bonus: Moldova

Boxjam has 1/2 of the correct answer...or even more than 1/2, since Edessa seems mostly to have been in what is now Turkey. But at least part of it was in territory claimed by another nation.

As for the bonus, the kingdom in question was named for a very famous city, though it covered a much larger territory. It isn't in Europe.

then Romania and Moldova

I mean Turkey and Moldova

Turkey and Cyprus

Online poll: would you rather be
A) a Turkish Cypriot or
B) a Turkish Apricot?

Bonus:
Constantinople

No one's gotten the second nation right -- or the bonus.

If it's helpful to know, Baldwin had an ostensibly spiritual reason for his acquisition of great tracts of land.

Oh and thanks, Jonathan. If the wombat file suddenly goes down you can assume that the Cypriot Anti-Defamation-of-the-Stone-Fruit-Pun-Variety League has mobilized their cyberspace wing to mount a DoS attack.

uh, hi, I was googling "Alec Baldwin is a Turkey" and wound up here....what's going on?

We don't see the Edessa Steps in Battleship Potemkin, do we?

Afghanistan, man? My geography lobe isn't working right this morning.

Georgia? And for bonus, Kiev?

Armenia?
Bonus, Byzantium?

A partial victory to boxjam, with honorable mention to Bootsy.

Although most of it was in modern-day Turkey, the county's territory also bled into what is now Syria, and might even have crossed into what is still, in 2007, a nominal nation called "Iraq."

After fighting both Orthodox Christians (in what was once indeed the Byzantine empire, Bootsy), and Muslims on his way to the Holy Land, Baldwin, in company with other Crusaders like the more historically famed Tancred, wound up as one of the rulers of the relatively short-lived "Crusader States" bordering the Eastern Mediterranean. Others included the Principality of Antioch and the County of Tripoli (not the Tripoli in North Africa, but the one in Lebanon). There was also the coastal Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia or "Lesser Armenia" which had been established by Amernian refugees from Seljuk Turk-occupied Armenia -- it was around before the Crusaders arrived, but allied itself with them and came eventually under French control.

The most prominent of the Crusader States was the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and after a stint as Count in the relative hinterlands of Edessa, Baldwin became the K. of J. when his brother Godfrey died. (Westernized/Christian rule of Jerusalem itself, by the way was ended in the late 12th Century by the famed Saladin).
