This was just added back under a different trope after being deleted by Theriocephalus
Small Name, Big Ego: Bretonnia is one of the most primitive cultures in the Warhammer world, barring the "savage" races like Orcs, Goblins and Beastmen. As a result, Bretonnia's presence in the global stage is pretty much non-existent. They have very little considered worth trading by the Empire, barring winenote Bretonnia beer, on the other hand, is universally considered undrinkable swill; "Is your brewer Bretonnian?" is fighting words in every tavern in the world, spices and chefs, their social structure is considered absurdly backwards and archaicnote by Imperial standards, Bretonnian peasants are about the same level as the residents of Sylvania; a bunch of superstitious, inbred yokels barely two steps above the ghouls that infest that land, and about the only reason they haven't been conquered by more technologically advanced forces is because they literally have a goddess protecting Bretonnian forces by interfering with incoming gunfire and arrows. In typical Black Comedy fashion, the Bretonnians are completely oblivious to their reputation as a joke beyond their own lands and tell themselves that every other nation in the world envies them for their clearly superior culture. The only positive thing that can be said for Bretonnia is that they have the best Knights and Calvary in the world, even surpassing the Empire's Calvary.
I am unsure if this is the trope, considering that they are powerful militarily and many of the things mentioned to not ring true from what I remember of the more up to date lore. Any opinions?
