    Spain splitting up into a dozen individual countries would give the Iberian peninsula as a whole a disproportionate amount of power in the EU.

    Seeing the reunification of Germany following the collapse of the USSR (1989-1991) was amazing for so many of us alive then, because there was little warning to the average person. Diplomacy had improved significantly during the Reagan/Gorbachev years, but the dire straits of the communist economy was unknown. Likewise, the reunification of North and South Korea such a tremendous and beautiful event. Of course, it would be a massive adjustment for those in the North. Although, with a global CBDC on the horizon, it wouldn't be as dramatic a change as it was for East Germany because free-market capitalism will no longer exist. What am I saying; it doesn't exist now?

      All jokes aside I honestly don't see an independent Palestine ever happening. Most of the windows on Palestinian independence have closed and the few that remain open are getting smaller quick. In the first place they're losing support worldwide especially with their mafia style leadership and the fact that they're internally deeply and violently divided between Arab nationalist and Islamist groups. Secondly all attempts to defeat or terrorize or boycott Israel into submission have failed and Israel is as strong as ever. The Arab world has lost interest in them and only Iran and Turkey still actively support. Iran is on shaky grounds as it hasn't got the support of its people and Turkeys resources are stretched thin with all the wars they're involved in. Back in the 90s the Left was in control in Israel and the windows were wide open for the Palestinians but they frittered those opportunities away and now the Left is minuscule. Even Netanyahu who is basically a status quo kind of right winger is in danger of falling and being replaced by someone well to the right of him. The Palestinian population statistics have been found unreliable and there are far fewer of them than originally thought. Plus many of them are emigrating as many as 17,000 a year. The only thing the Palestinians did have going for them was their birthrate which in 2000 was 4,6 as opposed to the Jewish one of 2.5. But now that advantage has slipped away and by 2018 it was about 3.1 for Muslims which includes Bedouins who aren't really Palestinian and 3.2 for Jews. The 1.5 million West Bank Palestinians have a 2.7 birthrate and dropping and the half a million plus Jewish settlers 5.1. Rising Jewish birthrates mean that in a couple decades the Palestinians will end up as islands in an ocean of Jews. The most they'll ever get is Gaza and maybe a few larger West Bank cities but even that's doubtful. The Israelis are going to elect a leader whose not willing to put up with missiles and incendiary balloon attacks from Gaza the way Netanyahu does and they will march in and take Gaza back.
      What I see happening is that the Palestinians will end up emigrating, converting to Judaism, or taking on an identity that is culturally Arab and Muslim but viewing Israel as their country in which they'll become citizens like 1.7 million of them already are. There are many Israelis who are not Jewish who lives in this manner including not only Muslim Arabs and Bedouins but also Christian Arabs, Deruze, Bahais, Circassians, Armenians, non-Jewish Russians, Black Hebrews, Donmeh, Maronites, Assyrians, and various East Asian, African, an East European groups.
      Now I know you were trying to be humorous but I just wanted to explain why I think Palestine wasn't included in this list.

Legally it is still an occupied part of the German Reich, its inhabitants killed or driven out by force, economically and ecologically devastated by the Soviets, populated by Russians and named after a communist gangster named "Kalinin".

      True, there is still no international law of what can or can not be an independent country. It always depends on war, violence, international pressure and allies, internal pressure etc. Bougainville just voted 98% to be independent from Papua-New Guinea and there is no guarantee it will happen, because foreign powers, in this case Australia, doesn't want it. But when somebody's independence is good for some power, then it's all about will of the people. In the case of Kosovo, the law was completely ignored, but it suited USA.
      I think that only moral reason for someone's independence is if the central state is oppressing them.
      If every nation should have right for its own country, there would be thousands of countries. USA would be divided by Native Americans.
      And if the will of the people is the only criterion, then 1) what about areas in one country heavily populated by some other nation and 2) no country would allow immigrants anymore because if they all come together in one region, they can vote independence.
      If the only criterion is some historical right to some territory, then think how much nations was relocated during history and how would the map looked like if they would want that land back. Also, 90% of countries was made by pushing some other nation away.

    Your map of Catalunia includes perpignan, which is in France. Are you suggesting that an independent state of Catalunia will include not only areas taken out of Spain, but also areas taken out of France?

    A key consideration is what constitutes a “country” since sovereignty is something that exists on a sliding scale. For example, individual American states have a great deal of self-rule. I live in Washington state and most of the laws I have to follow are made here, not in Washington DC. My interface with the federal government is mostly limited to using the currency, paying federal taxes, driving on an interstate highway or visiting a national park. Most Washingtonians were pretty upset about Donald trump being elected president but the fact is nothing really changed here in the state as our state government mostly ignored him.

    Wait till he finds out the Massive divide between Western Canada and the Ottawa government, Saskatchewan and Alberta have effectively 100% seatings for what is effectively always the opposition government, and Manitoba about 70-80% seats for the opposition. The past few elections the opposition has won Majority vote yet lost all elections due to seat distribution allowing the Liberals to effectively lose popular vote by hundreds of thousands yet having 20-30% more seats thanks to Federal distribution.

      Bonjour, je suis breton et je peux t'affirmer que il y a très peu d'indépendantistes en Bretagne. Il y en a peut être quelques uns mais la Bretagne est ultra bien intégrée au reste de la France. Si tu veux mon avis, concernant la France, il faudrait plutôt parler de la Nouvelle Calédonie ou de la Polynésie française qui sont des territoires dont le désir d'indépendance est réel. Je peux t'affirmer que même si c'est une fierté d'être breton, jamais nous ne quitterons la France car nous sommes français.
