In response to the 2.0 Balkan Europe..i had a (whimsical) friend knock up a legend...(Warning- mostly a joke)

Funny how Savoyards doesn't include Savoy...

Well it looks like i'm going to keep Nigeria just to make it so much easier, and i'll group people of the same or similar ethnicities, languages, and culture. I doubt i'll get a chance to make it anytime soon however...

 

[Rossiya]

When they give all those ethnicities in Africa, is their defition of "ethnicity" the same as perhaps the American view of "German", "Irish", "Jewish", "Italian" etc.? Or would they count the German ethnicity as "Kieler", "Prussian", "Nordrheiner", "Tyroler", "Liechtensteiner" etc.?

I think the Latter, which is why i said if there was a map, i'd have to group of all the similar ones.

Where is the West Turkestan that the East Turkestan is East to?

Where is the West Turkestan that the East Turkestan is East to?

From wikipedia

Greater Turkestan is subdivided into West (former Soviet Union countries) and East Turkestan (administered as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China). The Tian Shan (Tengri Tagh) and Pamir mountain ranges form the rough division between the two Turkestans.

Pretty good, here are some improvements.

Manchuria should be separate from china
Arab Israeli should be split from Israel (its a balkanized map after all, so Israel's north should be Independent)
West Java's (Indonesia) 26m Sundanese should be independent
And Iran should be way more Balkanized (Wiki's got a good picture here)

Saudi Arabia should be split up as well (as it should in RL), why do they have Qatar? They should be split between the mountainous Hijaz in the west, the Wahabbi-dominated deserts of the Najid and a small piece of Yemen in the south. Perhaps the northern Nafud desert should be seperate as well, along with the eastern coastline.

Plus, I'm pretty sure Kazakhstan should be more Balkanised than that too. And Afghanistan, which has become larger.

On the other hand, most of India and southeastern Asia is well-detailed. That place really would be a mess if all the crazed irridentists and secessionists go their way!

there are too many countries in the world. Please merge most of them (I have this map stuck on my post imagie file and cant post it and no one will help me)

Don't forget Sakhalin and Hokkaido should be Ainu
