History
Veliki Koren had a population of 29 in 1900,[2] but is now uninhabited.[1] In the fall of 1941, German forces evicted the residents of the village to make room for the planned resettlement of Gottschee Germans. By 1971 only two houses remained in the village, and these were already slated for demolition because of the gradual expansion of a mine for diatomaceous earth.[4]

gollark: It's ridiculous. They're replacing descriptive language which has been used for ages with different terminology because... what? Someone somewhere might be offended? It's stupid virtue signalling.
gollark: They can't do it to existing repos presumably, it would break things.
gollark: It is not pizza.
gollark: I'm not sure how they plan to implement this exactly, and it seems very pointless and stupid.
