Millions of Spaniards were simultaneously aroused and they have no idea why

Wait when they heard about reislamisation of Al-Andalus

Why doesn't Bavaria go to Austria? And why does Swabia have to stay with Germany and Bavaria? Do you even balkanize?

British Isles is an old colonial term that was invented to intentionally imply ownership of the islands by Britain.

It should be confided to the dustbin of history, not used in the modern day. Thankfully both the Irish and UK government do not use the term.

The Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs stated in 2005: "The British Isles is not an officially recognised term in any legal or inter-governmental sense. It is without any official status. The Government, including the Department of Foreign Affairs, does not use this term."

Instead we should use the Islands of North-Western France.

Otherwise the map is good, besides maybe this matter. Map for reference.

It should be just called "Atlantis"

Italy is the most balkanized of these pictures. That's anti-Italian discrimination!

[–] sovietperson2@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Italy is a fake country, and I say that as an Italian. Any hopes of cultural unification were squandered by the refusal of the Northern elites to implement Land Reform in the South after unification.

Tbh every country is fake. I should know, I'm in one of the worst offender.

I would go even further. The southern half of so-called "actual Spanish territory" is actually Andalusian territory. As for "actual Germany", there is no such thing, or if there is it's just Franconia, as Swabia and the Rhineland have their own distinct cultures. And "actual France" should not include Burgundy or Gascony. And East Germany should be its own thing again, this time permanently...because reunited Germany has been a disaster.

[–] Tarkov_Survivor@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 years ago

Spain should the southern half to Andalucía and we could split the north into separate Leon and Castille

[–] Pili@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Crazy that we decided that France is going to keep Elsass.

Inspired me to do my own take on the British Isles, tbh

[–] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is Birmingham important enough to warrant its own international city status?

[–] SadArtemis@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Not really, but I figured the 3 most populous (and probably, considerably diverse) cities may as well get international city status. Also, the fact it makes England's borders ugly is a plus.

[–] SadArtemis@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Finished it off-

[–] pinguinu@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Damn, imperialist Catalonia taking Valencian Community and Balearic Islands but not Aragon

[–] sovietperson2@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can understand Brittany and Occitania but Normandy is culturally indistinguishable with most North French regions.

[–] lil_tank@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah, my take on the French version is that actually the Paris region, surrounding departments and Normandy will be actual French territory while the great North (especially Picardie) and East (Alsace - Lorraine) will separate since they still have a bit of their own culture and language

[–] DankZedong@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is there a reason why Ibiza and Mallorca would be part of Catalonia

[–] ledlecreeper27@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Catalan is already an official language in those islands and most of the residents speak it fluently.

[–] Avnar@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Thank you for not putting Franken into Baveria.
