Ignoring the massive cost, legal hurdles, and the opinion of the residents/government/outside powers, if you could magically grant independence to certain territories or form new bigger nations from existing ones with no repercussions to yourself, what new countries would you create?
Please treat this as a non-serious post, let’s not get into a massive political debate, those never end well.
Break the Untied States into 55 countries
Take Georgia the country and Georgia the state and merge them, no more confusion.
Lots of fun stupid ideas here…
- Everyone in the world is now their own microstate with their current position as the start point for a voronoi style distribution of territory.
- Canada and Canadia are now legally distinct, coterritorial nations. Anyone who refers to themselves as Canadian has the effect of renouncing their citizenship to Canada and joining Canadia. Anyone who refers to themselves as Canadan does the opposite.
- The world is now divided into nations by elevation rather than latitude and longitude.
- All locations are redistributed by their affixes. All -stans are one nation. All -villes are another. All -tons and -towns another. All San- and Santa- are another. And so on, and so on. Any conflicts based on having multiple affixes are decided by a fight to the death between randomly chosen locals who prefer one or the other.
- All areas are formed into nations based on the most common seasoning in that region.
California breaks off to hang out with Hawaii. Alaska can come too.

I’d break them all up into a grid of like…100 miles, squared. Those are the new country boundaries, the rest is up to the people within the boundaries to decide. There are now a shitload of countries. Good luck, everybody.
For sure split up the USA.
Maybe then they’ll be too occupied to meddle with other nations

Free Cascadia
Every country of more than 100 million people must split in half .
And repeat.
Half of each citizen in the new countries or half of the citizens in each new country?
States of the Great Lakes. We’d be midwest nice™
Scandinavia. Not sure if Finland geographically counts as part of Scandinavia, but they can join too if the want to. Same goes for Iceland and Faroe Island.
Just need to figure out a mechanism that prevents the Danes and Swedes from steamrolling the politics this time around.
Ever been to Greece? 'Cause we’re going back to city states, baby!
The only right answer:
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
United Ireland
Can Ireland have both… All the Islands?
We already missed the deadline for this to be the Star Trek timeline.
Free Ireland!
I hope to see this in my lifetime
