Altered maps

[West 36]

I submit to you, fellow CFCers, a blank Earth map. What I want you to do is completely redraw boundaries as you like, you can forget history, geography, all logic, just make it interesting, different, new, weird. Make Earth look different- politically speaking! Unless you want to go and make it different geographically as well, that'll be harder, but go ahead. As you like, or dislike, whatever. Enjoy.

Lebanon, India, Belize, Nigeria,...etc. Define Tiny Island Nation?

English is not the most widely spoken language in India and it's not a majority language in any country in Africa. Okay so there's Belize, I'm sure that 2 billion dollar economy makes an enormous impact.

Wrong, although tribal languages do exist English is still the majority language in most African countries that were once colonies of Britain. I can't say much for India but I know that about Africa.

Colours mean nothing, I started to colour them and then got bored.

Steph: But will the (US) South rise again?

It's not looking too good.

It is boring doing that sort of thing because it's arbitrary, unsubstantiated and random. Some borders are like what they are today not just because the evil European colonisers used "divide and conquer" on the poor Africans. Not at all because of that. One part of the Italian border with Austria is the Brenner Pass in South Tyrol. It's there for a reason and that is that it is a strategic stronghold for whoever holds it. Just one example, friend. There are many others.

Ehh, given the thread in hand, is there any point whatsoever to this post?

Yeah, because a lot of these altered maps have been altered for specific historical reasons. Changing boundaries for the hell of it, for no reason, is katoptronophilist.
