moscow?

[LaoPo]

moscow?

Thought of that too but I don't see Russia as having a large colonial empire in the past.....different historical story than the 'good old bossy' countries, 'confiscating' colonial countries.

England, Holland, Belgium (!), France, Spain, Portugal, even Germany (SW Africa) and Italy are countries springing to mind.

But maybe Boksida sees it different (hmmmmm 'Boksida...is that Russian ? )

Their empire was several centuries earlier than the ones you have mentioned. Here's a clue that will solve it:

It was the second country in the world to have a communist government

[Old Croc]

OK then, it has to be Ulaanbataar.

I suppose you could say the Mongols had a large colonial empire.

That's it. Didn't pay to mess with Genghis.
