- Retric 2y agoWhen you’re talking even 3+m deep bodies of water they don’t freeze solid even in the arctic circle. A thick layer of ice on top still provides the same weight, so winter just doesn’t change anything. There’s some countries where the geography doesn’t work out, but most midsized countries already depend on exchanging power with their neighbors simply on economic grounds.
