The map was made with “drawing borders on the present (2023) world” in mind, admittedly. So I simply didn’t think to include them for similar reasons to why I didn’t include all of former Yugoslavia, or remade the Soviet Union… Egypt and the Gulf presumably would need a lot of time to settle into the idea (Jordan, Lebanon, and Kuwait would too, but it “works”)
Virtually every large nation should be cracked up as well if you want to follow through with the logic. The amazonian basin would be a series of micro states. China has what like 50 recognized minority ethnic groups within its borders
But that’s not what I want, nor what I’d find funny- it would be wholly counterproductive, as it would just leave Europe on equal footing with the rest of the world.
If anything, the next step I’d take would be creating more large federations and supranational unions, though sadly these wouldn’t be very realistic. A United Arab Republic stretching from Mauritania to Oman, the return of the Soviet Union, or Mexico’s historical borders, the East African Federation or some unions of the Congo/DRC, Burkina Faso/Mali/Niger, or Maphilindo… maybe even the dreams of pan-Africanism manifest as some “superstate Africa” or hell, some holy trinity of the Soviet Union reborn, China, and India all holding hands, singing “kumbayah,” and delivering a spanking for the Anglosphere.
If it made any sense whatsoever (sadly it doesn’t), I’d make a “Celtic union” featuring Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Manx, Cornwall, Brittany, and Galicia as well- or I’d make a true Yugoslavia stretching from Slovenia to Bulgaria, or better yet a Balkan union like was historically proposed, with all the south Slavs, Romania, Hungary, Greece, and Albania- hell, bonus points for Cyprus and Turkey as well. Or I’d revive al-Andalus, but this time with all the other Maghreb states in a union. Or of course, the most ideal borders would simply be an entirely Soviet Europe.
The whole point is an (entirely and completely deserved, but also hypothetical shitpost of a) western Europe screw.
Oh I thought we were fucking around with taking national liberation to its logical conclusions and breaking things up into as small of chunks as possible. Didn’t realize it was a piss take in the other direction
I’m sorry but this is just complete nonsense. Sami people getting their own state would be cool I guess but otherwise this is just an arbitrary clusterfuck, especially the balkans.
FWIW it was totally meant to be a clusterfuck and a (partial) shitpost in the Balkans. Russia, Belarus, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and even Moldova and Transnistria all took big happy bites out of Ukraine for instance. And Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Yugoslavia all took bites out of Croatia as well- and then there’s Hungary and Yugoslavia biting bits off of Romania…
The intent was always to create a EU/NATO screw, and to play different member states off each other, making a scenario where there could be nothing to be done for certain states, but stewing in bitter impotence.
