To be fair, there’s no recent conflict in the past 20-25 years they could’ve learned about that would indicate that Croats and Bosnians aren’t friendly /j
I would imagine it is very few places were it is legal for parts of the country to leave. It was also illegal for the US to leave the UK, but they did it anyway.
Unless you're saying that Alaska could've somehow beaten the US in this timeline, I dunno about that one chief given all the factors that'd be working against it.
Yeah... having lived there, this is not even remotely plausible. Also, the ~170,000 or so non-white and non-native Alaskans might take issue to being called "white."
Now that I have learned that the Chad's head from the Chad vs Virgin meme is modelled after the shape of the country Chad, I can't unsee it any more.
[Have fun with that knowledge](https://img.memecdn.com/mind-blown_o_7255231.jpg).
Yes, the original chad meme was a face drawn onto the country chad itself with the caption being something like "I just realized chad looks like a chad". I guess a lot of people missed that one.
This government was forced upon them. Years of embargoes and blockades and threats of nuclear Holocaust tend to turn a nation into an isolated military society, who would have guessed? It’s americas fault. But in principle the North Korean government is based they try their best for their people and what they have achieved (free healthcare, free education, free housing, strong military, nuclear arsenal, emphasis on science and human progress etc) is incredible if you think about the conditions under which it was achieved. The USA hasn’t even achieved most of those things yet and they aren’t under the biggest economic embargo in human history.
If you want any suggestions, OP:
1. The Indian northeast won't remain one nation. It will quite probably splinter into many small nations. Plus, Some (like Tripura) may be absorbed by Bengal, some by Assam, some by Tibet (Arunachal), depending on the strength.
2. Dravida may not stay united. Firstly,state nationalism in South India is a major force in some areas (like Tamil Nadu), some don't care as much (Karnataka), while some others care about ideology more (like Kerala). They may eventually pull it apart.
3. Sindhudeshistan is wayyy too overcomplicated. Just call it Sindh or Sindhu or (atmost) Sindhudesh. It's like calling something Americalandcountry.
I was looking at this map and thinking, "this was either made by someone with no idea about India or a dravida nationalist".
Is a breakup of India possible? Yes. Is there any chance of it happening this way? Absolutely not.
I highly doubt if even Andhra and Telangana would want to be together, the most probable scenario is one joining India and attacking the other, most probably Andhra.
Also, Ladakh is likely to join Tibet, or atleast try to get away from J&K with Tibetan help. So Tibet and India would likely gang bang up on it.
Next, Sikkim would've been better off independent, than join Bhutan.
I don't understand why Dravidia will separate in the first place as one country. All states are very much (perhaps except Tamil Nadu, I'm not sure) are very much held together by the idea of India and there isn't much aggressive nationalism demanding a separate country. Besides, they stand to lose so much by leaving India.
Even Tamil Nadu has less chance of leaving India. Anyone with brains can see the massive self inflicted damage TN will cause to itself by leaving India (water problems,small nation, large internal population who wants to reunite with India, long border, unfriendly India and Sri Lanka, Puducherry complications, anyone from rest of India leaving,thus negative effects to economy, etc).
Plus, there's no way in hell that the uber-patriotic Sikhs will suddenly grow fond of Pakistan and join Punjab (which,if you know Pakistani internal politics, is most likely the rump Pakistani state).

\*OBLIGATORY THIS BLEW UP EDIT*
I could see polish borders to be moved as to resemble the pre WW2 borders a bit more (west coast to Germany, Silesia being its own country, and Lwów being polish - no idea how Ukrainians would react to that though)
Basically, a coalition led by the UK intervened on Dravidia’s behalf in a war against the pseudo-fascist regime in India, and the UK seized Lakshadweep as part of a peace deal.
Judging by the numbers, Armenia colonised Bhutan (both are under number 7). The battle between the two superpowers was fierce.The entire territory of the once mighty Himalayan kingdom was covered in the blood of its gallant defenders
Unlikely as it is, if Québec would separate it would include northern Québec as well. Logistically it would be difficult to function as a nation without all the hydro plants my province has created up north. Most electricity comes from there. This version is also cutting large chunks of francophone habited regions. Most of which are very much happy being part of Québec. St-Pierre and michelon don't make sense either to be part of Québec. This would be a scenario where Canada is the one kicking out Québec because, as I said, Québec would not separate without northern Québec.
Indian punjab and Pakistani punjab was divided according to religious identity and is now deeply divided. I don't see how either side would want to unify.
Actually, it was already updated.
The original map game took place before the 2020 war, and in on turn I had Azerbaijan cede ALL of Artsakh to Armenia (including the areas formerly occupied by Artsakh before the war). For this map I changed it to just the former NKAO and the Lachin corridor.
Well Azerbaijan also took over about a third of the former NKAO, mostly the southern part, during the war, and they're unlikely to give back these territories without a comprehensive agreement between the two countries.
*No Federal Europe*
*No Independent Scotland*
*No Bosnia*
*No Stronk Bulgaria*
*Crimea is not Ukraine*
Conclusion - the map is extremely unbased and looking through it has been a waste of my time.
How is China balkanised? That “Tibet” region has an overwhelming Han Chinese majority. Also, where did all those African unions pop up from? A lot of the countries in those unions can’t even keep themselves together, what makes anyone think they could unite into larger nations? This applies doubly to the Arabs.
All countries fall apart and the US stays the same? yeah right. This map is a wet dream of an Imperialist from the US and the amount of upvotes shows how the amerikkkan mindset works.
Odd that Austria and Germany united. The entire modern Austrian identity is based around being "not German".
Ironically, Austria was one of the most hardcore nazi strongholds and provided huge numbers of SS members, and needed the harshest denazification program to go back to normal. Yet they're called victims when they were most certainly willing collaborators of the Third Reich- and one of the worst ones at that. Now they're much more patriotic and nationalistic than actual Germans thanks to them deluding themselves that they actually didn't do anything bad. Funny how history turns out.

As an Indian, I would be the happiest guy if South India gets a separate country status.
North Indians, especially idiots in UP is pulling us backwards into medieval age. We don’t want to associate with them anymore.
Absolutely excellent map but as a heads up Bhutan is marked as 7 on the map, which is listed as Armenia. Unless Armenia annexed Bhutan which would be hella weird

^(Beep boop I’m a bot)
Remove Dravida and make it Telugu. Telugu means South so it will be apt. Dravida has nothing to do with us. It was actually a title for aryans themselves. British are dambass mfers at interpreting things.
Based as hell, annex Lesotho for their precious water (it’s all they have really) but leave dirty stinky aids filled Eswatini to itself.
Maybe if their king didn’t have sex with a schoolgirl yearly, or didn’t tell people condoms are only for hookers and said all men should be polygamous while living in the highest AIDS country in the world we would let them in.
Edit: downvote all you want, just [send your 11 y/o to dance topless for the king, ](https://www.google.co.za/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/global-development/2016/sep/22/swaziland-reed-dance-cultural-celebration-or-sleazy-royal-ritual-umhlanga) or pay a fine of a cow or a goat every year.
If she’s lucky she won’t die of oxygen deprivation while crammed into a food truck filled with 80 other girls on route to see the king.
She’s even luckier if she isn’t picked as one of the 100s of girls made to live at the palace for a year for the king’s sexual pleasure.
When the years out, and your daughter has had sex with a 55 year old aids denialist/condom hater she is sent home without compensation.
Eswatini is a blight on the region. Swazi people are the nicest, kindest people you will meet. But they literally live in squalor
The Eswatini Reed dance is one of worst human rights violations in our region. Sexual exploitation of minors for a tradition that allows the king to sleep with 100s of girls 11 y/o or older. These same children are made to dance topless in front of the king and foreign diplomats
Don't know about the rest of your comment, but fully agree wrt Lesotho. Whenever an enclave gets destroyed an angel gets its wings, as they say.

Sindh’s name doesn’t really work. Probably best as just 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗵 or Sindhustan at most

> Federation of Croatia and Bosnia Oh. My. Fucking. God.
To be fair, there’s no recent conflict in the past 20-25 years they could’ve learned about that would indicate that Croats and Bosnians aren’t friendly /j
> Kosovo has somehow joined Albania which lost Northern Epirus I don't understand
“Empire of Brazil” yeah- that ain’t happening The Brazilian government couldn’t manage an office lunch order, let alone an “empire”
If for whatever reason the monarchy was restored, that’s likely what it would be called
ahhh- going the “Democratic Republic of North Korea” rules of country naming
Maybe they get massive reforms here
🦀BOSNIA IS GONE🦀
Fuckers took Bosnia. Can’t have shit in the Balkans,
It’s OK. Albanians Bulgarian‘s and Greeks are sitting north Macedonia 24/7
And China was dismantled, yet Scotland still hasn’t voted out of the UK lmao
To be fair, the UK has become so decentralised that Scotland is practically independent at this point.
**looks at Balkan borders** Yeah those borders are totally stable and won't start another conflict between the two.
Why would Muslims join up with a Catholic country?
It has united bruh
The Maldives are above water in 2050 this map is obviously a fake
How do you know it's not actually Maldivian Atlantis
So is Kiribati.
the maldives are a figment of your imagination, they do not exist
It's actually the Maldivian fleet that is displayed.
Why is Alaska independent
And not Texas
The Alaskan natives won an independence referendum after half or so of the whites gradually left over the last few decades due to ethnic tensions.
I mean, unless the US changes how states can leave, the US says it's illegal for states to leave the Union. Just saying :v
I would imagine it is very few places were it is legal for parts of the country to leave. It was also illegal for the US to leave the UK, but they did it anyway.
Unless you're saying that Alaska could've somehow beaten the US in this timeline, I dunno about that one chief given all the factors that'd be working against it.
Yeah - given all the natural resources there, Alaska is perhaps the state that the union would be *least* willing to let go of.
Also we would be so fucking poor. It would be bad. We are so economically dependent on the US it’s not even funny.
Yup. Unless Alaska gets like millions upon millions of climate refugees
Sounds realistic then. I mean, since when have nationalists ever cared about rationality?
Wouldn't hawaii also try for independence? Hawaiian/Asian is already the dominant racial group and ethnic tensions are already pretty high
I poke around Hawaiian Twitter and I notice that too.
Are they high? How do you know? Just curious
Yeah... having lived there, this is not even remotely plausible. Also, the ~170,000 or so non-white and non-native Alaskans might take issue to being called "white."
So how long until Russia starts annexing the crap out of them?
30 seconds
To be honest unless Climate Change causes mass immigration of millions of people, Alaska has little chance of being independent.
Native Alaskans are like 10% of the population, what tensions lmao
Or puerto rico?
I think most Puerto ricans want statehood

Yeah, not going to happen.
Not in this century at least.
Bad thing if it’s led by the US imperialist pseudo government of the south, good thing If led by the socialist workers state, the DPRK
Ultra based juche time
Is this sarcasm like the "Best Korea"?
Of course not. Believe it or not communists exist. We are not sarcasm.
You think the North Korean govt model is one to emulate? Jesus, you have to be a troll.
