Shouldn't this be in Yack Fest?

Well it was meant to be serious I'm sure but with such an arbitrary list how can it not get silly?

Anyway, I'm all for Mars Federation.

The Basque country. And Catalonia. And Kurdistan. And Palestine. Independent Kashmir would be nice too. And don't forget Chechnya. To put it short, I support every single separatist movement in the world. I'm an ethnic minority in my own country, so I can totally feel those people's pain.

Not a fan of nations for nations sake (especially Kashmir), but here's my list of nations that I think that should exist:

  • United Romania (Romania-Moldova)
  • A Unified Eastern Slav State (Belarus-Ukraine-Russia)
  • Livonia (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania)
  • Greater Afghanistan (Afghanistan-Tajikistan-Western Pakistan)
  • Greater Arabia (Arab Peninsula)
  • East African Federation (that one is actually on the way in 2015...Uganda-Rwanda-Burundi-Tanzania-Kenya...possibly South Sudan)
  • Greater India (Eastern Pakistan-India-Bangladesh-Nepal-Sri Lanka)
  • Greater South Africa (S. Africa-Namibia-Botswana)
  • Greater Congo (DRC-RC-Central Africa-Angola-Gabon)
  • A truely federal and democratic Yugoslavia (barring that, restored monarchies in Montenegro and Serbia and with Macedonia annexed between Serbia and Bulgaria...or just Bulgaria)
  • A united Jordan-Syria state (under the Jordanians)
  • United Maghreb (Morroco-Algeria-Western Sahara-Malian Desert-Mauritania-Tunisia)
  • Reunified Central America
  • A united Turkestan state (Kazakhstan-Kyrgyzstan-East Turkestan-Uzbekistan-Turkmenistan)

Dual Monarchy of Austria Hungary

Similarly, the Austrian Empire (although today it'd probably be known as the Austrian Commonwealth or something).

It'd be like the post-feudal Holy Roman Empire, minus Frenchmen plus Slavs. Good trade. Plus, Germanic mythology meets Slavic mythology.

Siegfried vs. Count freakin' Dracula. Taking bets.

[up][up]I agree with Shinra on most of his ideas, but I would also like the whole Carribean, as well as the whole South America, to unify into two larger states. Unification of the whole Latin America (South and Central Americas and the Carribean) would also be nice. Apart from that, a federation encompassing the whole Balkans (ex-Yugoslavia, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania with Moldova and Hungary, maybe Turkey, too).

The sin of silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.

United Korea scares me, if only because of how I don't know what the hell happened for it to get there. Also it isn't specified why it's like that, but i'll assume a positive environment.

If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.

FF Shinra: wow that's an impressive list.

fanty: I support the potential countries you mentioned. I disagree that all separatist struggles should be supported though. Most have legitimate issues based on persecution, but one I know of (The Santa Cruz Autonomy Movement) sounds to me like rich people on the best bits of land not wanting any of their resources to go towards the poorer bits of countryside.

(If enough interest in this is generated, and to avoid offtopicness we could do a "Countries that shouldn't exist" topic).

EDIT: Okay I support Chechnya and Palestine - the rest I don't know enough about.

Most definitely Cascadia, or wholesale West Coast+Nevada+Hawaii seccession.

The time has arrived where a West Coaster must look at the inland's fundies, fascists, authoritarians and conservatives with disgust and say fuck it, we're splitting away from this mess.

  • Oceania
  • Eurasia
  • Eastasia

Seriously though...

  • The United Kingdom of Great Britain and United Ireland
  • The United States of Central America
  • Greater Germanic Reich
  • Ottoman Empire
  • Russian Empire
  • Khmer Empire
  • Persian Empire
  • Yugoslavia (including former Ottoman Territories)
  • Greater Scandinavia
  • United Rhodesia
  • United Repubic of Korea
  • Gran Columbia

As you can see, I'm in favour of constructing larger nation-states instead of breaking them up into little chunks.
