States of the Great Lakes. We'd be midwest nice™
UNITED FEDERAL EUROPEAN SOCIALIST STATES!
And i dont mean socialist like the dictatorships. No true socialism = True democracy!
“No true socialism = True democracy!”
Well said
Break away for sure. The California Republic would surely have its problems but far less than the US right now.
But really I'd like to see every country balkanized. Big empires are nothing but trouble. Ideally each city would be its own polity, and they can have regional compacts if desired.
I think my answer is obvious.
Flanders (and Brussels) join the Netherlands.
It’s time for the American lake states to unite as one. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, and maybe a few others if they’re cool about it.
Give me japan divided into east and west japan, the independent state of rutland, and make south macedonia independent as well, it's weird only having the north one
Chechia and Slovakia. A lot of people consider the split to be pointless and the ethnic groups are basically the same.
United Cyprus
I'd take a bit of everything, creating a worldwide spread out nation made up of all people. And call it Knowhere.
I know that name is from mavrel but i wasn't referencing them in anyway, but that's a cool name and it fits my new cool nation damn it!
I think we should put all the religious people in half the countries and all the atheistic people in the other half. Both kinds of countries can form whatever borders and laws and politics, I don't care about that. But if you became religious in an atheistic country you'd be banished to a religious country, and vice versa.
There would be people who could go either way (agnostic or what have you), don't ask me about the details and the logistics of it. But there CANNOT be a country that contains both a totally atheistic person and a devout religious person. It would be strictly enforced, no exceptions. Never the twine shall meet!
twine
twain?
Whoops, yes.
The result of this would be war, you know? You just created a Great Other.
How can you be sure? I think we need to do it and run the experiment in order to find out.
All trans people secede from their various nations and invade TERF island to form a new nation flying the trans pride flag and honoring Blahaj as the national animal.
I'd give northern Croatia to Slovenia and I'd make Istria it's own country and same for city of Split except it would be walled off from the rest of the country.
Why? Northern Croatian sounds like Slovenian to me, Istrians are too Italian for me but for historical reasons I would not give it to Italy, and I absolutely hate Split.
I'd also give Kosovo to Hungary just because.
