Did we miss any out? Do you think any on this list are unrealistic?
Let us know!
Yeah, you miss Quebec. Same situation as Scotland and Catalonia.
Somaliland Controls Itself And Somalia Does Not Control Us Otherwise We Are In The UN - Standard Part Of Somalia, But We Are A Separate State Seeking Recognition From The "United Nations".
Thumbnail. Alaska is up north.
you deserve more than a million subs bro good job
When you talked about Belgium, you mention 3 regions and that it was near to being split into 3 countries ... BUT besides the 3 regions, the country is also divided by the 3 official languages, which is slightly different from how it's divided by the regions. Why do you think that the German-speaking part would then stay as a part of Wallonia (the French-speaking part) in case of a breakup and be again the minority under a "foreign" rule?
I like the fact that Alaska is considered as South USA on the thumbnail
Nooooo I was gonna comment that
I heard we won't have 52 states in the United States.
Okay regarding Korea, I don’t think any of those possibilities will occur. Most likely the regime in the north will collapse one day even though that’s like very very far into the future, and then they unite so the North will survive but taken in under South Korea’s government and laws
North Korea will collapse being absorbed by South Korea that will have to refinance the bankrupt North, just ike it happened when West Germany financed the bankrupt East Germany for one united country.
Anything can happen when we get multi continent climate catastrophes piling up .
that would only be a prior event and would lead to his scenario 1 where the 2 countries agree to peaceably
remerge.
Korea is not a country.
There's absolutely no way the two Sudans will ever reunite. Way too much political/ ethnic tensions for this to happen
South Sudan may split into two or more states and never be called South Sudan anymore. I am surprised they didn't come up with a new name and were just satisfied with South Sudan anyway.
@@onewxrldmusic7303 not really and by the looks of it the disputes are lessening but the main point is; south Sudan is part of EAC ( East African Community) if you haven't heard, EAC is planning to join up to form 1 country known as East African Federation which comprises of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and of course South Sudan but recently DRC requested to join and it is now on the 8th stage out of 10 to be accepeted in EAC. In real sense if DRC succeeds EAF would be the largest country in the world and a really high chance of becoming a major super power in the near future because of tonnes of reasons that I can't even start listing them down. To keep it short just look up EAF (East African Federation)
I am North Sudanese and I unification chance is 0%
The only way it will happen is if S.Sudan collapses and Sudan goes for a land grab
it will most likely split to South west Sudan and South east Sudan
3:01 Correction: Taiwan claims to be part of China too, just not the one controlled by the communist party. And most of the world doesn't recognize Taiwan as an independent country
I sometimes think he is being sarcastic with some of the information that he presents.
correct...both the mainland (PRC) and Taiwan (ROC) view themselves as the legal government for the entirety of China.
Only a few small countries officially recognize Taiwan as the PRC refuses to have diplomatic ties with countries the recognize Taiwan. Most countries do however have established pseudoofficial relations with Taiwan. Most demorcratic countries prefer Taiwan as they are a real democracy but feel forced by the PRC to have diplomatic ties with them only.
I do. USA
And majority do not official recognise Taiwan as an official country.
Russia ought to be on the list of potential breakups. There are a lot of restive nationalities contained within the country, starting with the multiple ethnic groups in the Caucasus Mountains.
Despite not being mentioned EAC (East African Community) is planning to form 1 country comprising of Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, Tanzania, Rwanda and South Sudan; yeah turns out your hypothesis of S.Sudan joining up with Sudan isn't gonna happen. If you want to know the seriousness of EAC; they plan to establish a common currency by the end of this year and they have already started to draw up a draft constitution. If you want more info just look up EAF ( East African Federation). Probably the only country which is likely to join up together sooner compared to the ones you have mentioned on your list.
I'm sorry if I sounded condescending in my comment
ah yes, I also inquired about this thing, it will become a prosperous and economically strong super nation, I can't wait, I think they have the goal by 2024 right?
@@fede-HaitiaNAmericAnrimeircs91 Nah I'm pretty sure it was 2023
Won't happen
Unfortunately you may need a Ukraine update.
Nah.
@@Eggnog18 He's saying that Donetsk and Luhansk may want independence.
@@normalcraftingtable7906 Donetsk and Luhansk have been de facto independent since 2014.

a Russian occupied zone and an Eu occupied zone
Its fake tho
What about Canada/Quebec?
Quebec could never afford to go it alone and they know it, just some chatter.
@@karenlee4558 True, but most of the others aren't very plausible either!
@@Stewart682 actually the US splitting up is very possibility
@@godstenrules howw??
@@Maxzes_ We are as divided today as we were during the first Civil War.
Both sides of the political spectrum agree that we are headed toward another Civil War
When half of the country considers the other half of the country as "terrorists" or the "enemy", there is no unity.
South Africa, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Indonesia, Central Asian countries, Mexico, ... All those countries have ethnic/religious tension in themselves, economic problems because of overpopulation, climate change, corruption and out-of-touch governments. They all could be facing collapse, war or maybe some sort of revolutions.
In South Africa 🇿🇦, there's a political party calling for the secession of the Western Cape province from South Africa and it's gaining support rapidly
1st! This is a very interesting and thought-provoking video
123rd
In South Africa 🇿🇦, Western Cape has a political party that calls for the secession of the Province. Republic of the Western Cape is a possibility in Southern Africa 🌍
I am surprised that on the map of this video that Alaska is infact part of Southern U.S.A and clearly should be part of Northern U.S.A.
Alaska’s political views are on par with the southern United States.
Being geographically northern doesn't mean the same as being politically northern.
In USA the Midwest would go with the South anyday. There's no way the mississippi basin gets divided. If anything it would be the west coast and the northeast split off, with the 30-35 central states staying together
I agree. If this ever happens. I would feel sorry for the people that would get stuck in a one country or the other, based on their desired culture and social construct. For example, while I have been an artist and musician most my life. I also have conservative views. I love in the socialist democratic progressive state of Vermont. I already find Vermont ideologically intolerable. I would leave the state my my spouse refuses.
I just had a thought - if there were a North USA and a south USA, they wouldn't be united - so wouldn't they just be the States if America?
I love your content btw! You're really underrated and it's not right!! Sending love from Northern England :)
Last time there was a USA and a CSA.
Actually on China....both the Mainland and Taiwan consider the other as illegitimate governments and view themselves as the legal government of all of China.
Alaska is the northen most state in USA. So it Cannot belong to the south USA
Hawaii may also be possibly independent so as to keep its uniquness.
Most likely if the US separates, there will be at least 4 different countries with the Northeast going its own way....California, Oregon and Washington going one way...Hawaii going its own way and the red heart of the US, the South, Midwest and Alaska stepping on.
Then we consider the secessionist movements within each of the groups (especially Alaska and Texas) and maybe it will be a ton more than that.
Of course it could be part of the South USA. Just because it's not connected to the rest of the country? It already isn't connected.
a reunion between moldova and romania is more likely than any of the countries you mentioned lol
Twain claims that the mainland is part of it, too. It does not claim to be a separate country.
I’m from Catalonia, Spain. Let’s pray so that Catalonia never gets separated from the rest of Spain, I’m way too tired of the tension here, I just want my country to act as one, and love and respect each other
I know S Sudan well. There is more chance that Somaliland will be recognised, that Nigeria splits, or that Diego Garcia becomes part of Mauritius, than that S Sudan will merge with its 99 percent Muslim northern neighbour.
Bro check out south africa. The cape xit movement. I live here and we hopefullt will split up cape town
May cause a civil war
South Africa may certainly split particularly the wealthy parts not wanting to continue financing an increasingly failed state and wanting a smaller state a la Singapore or Hong Kong.
The state of Texas, USA was an independent "country" for 10 years during the mid 1800s.
Most Americans would love to see the soialist state of California become a separate country.
That’s fine give it back to Mexico then….
So was the state of California.
That's how the state got its official name The California Republic (which you still see on the state flag )
@MI6 when we have no choice in our elections in California, I wouldn't call that "democratic".
Look up the top-two systems we have here in the state of California
@MI6 What choice do we have when we only have ONE PARTY to vote for in California? Sure there are still effectively "two choices" but there's no difference between the two of them, cause there from the same party.
Look up the top-twos system we have here in California
The top-two system means that the top-two vote-getters move to the general election (even if they are from the same party, which mostly benefits democrats). That's not how elections are supposed to work. Elections are supposed to give you choices of the different parties.
Each party nominates their choice for the office, and then you get to vote for the party you want.
But not here in California, the top-two system robs us of that option. Because the top-two system favors the democratic party.
It's a one-party ruled state with so-called "elections" that are just a charade..
@MI6 Socialism means a one-,party ruled state where the citizens have no say in who their leaders are.
That's what explained to you we California have no say in our elections
Notice how I say nothing about the Republicans, so why even bring them?
Our state is turning into Venezuela which a socialist state controlled by one-party, where they have what you call "elections" which I call a charade.
The leaders in California also made it LEGAL to engage in voter fraud to benefit them (which mostly benefits the democrats)
The fact you're ignorant of what is actually happening in California is worrisome.
The fact that you don't even know the definition of socialism is even more worrisome. that is what California is it's a socialist state.
Unity has separate meanings: 1 Federal de jure documentation which declares, defines hierarchy of regional allegiance; 2 Consensus, de facto similarity of residents, with featured attractions being mutual language, race, tradition, lifestyle (culture), likeness all around. De jure arrangements are much easier to topple than de facto ones, think about it.
Now let me ask you. Why da flip was Alaska part of South USA in the thumbnail?
In my opionion it should be the right of the peple of any municipality or province to decide to which country they should belong to or if being independent. There are de facto countries that are generally not recognized existing today such as Northern Cyprus, Artsakh and Somaliland. In addition we have the Russian backed republics of Abkhasia, South Ossetia and Transnistria. In addition we have the territories involved in the ongoing war in the Ukraine,i.e. Crimea, Donetsk ans Luhansk. To my knowledge there are two countries only that the right of secession is written in the constitution and they are both micro states. They are Liecthenstein and St Kitts Nevis. In Liechtenstein a municipality can chose to move to another country any time. In the Nordics we have three semi-independent territories that could be independent some day. The most likely candidate for independence is Greenland and also the Faroe Islands that are both part of Denmark. Åland is a special case as the inhabitants preferred to be a part of Sweden, but Finland refused. As a compromise it is now a Swedish speaking territory belonging to Finland.
I like how Alaska’s apart of south USA on the thumbnail
Alaska maybe full of cowboys?
3:01 No. Taiwan clames the entire teretory of PR China as their own. Get your fact straight!
Firstly, very interesting and thought provoking video 👍🏼 Secondly, what about the islands of Bali & Sulawesi separating from Indonesia - although a very unlikely scenario. Both are under Indonesian rule, yet they have unrecognized separatist flags, and capable of self sufficiency.
Thirdly, the economic crisis in Sri Lanka has seen India come to its aid until very recently. An unlikely, admittedly sad scenario, could be a reluctant assimilation of Sri Lanka into the Indian rule… although their often ‘heated’ pasts could prove this impossible.
The part about Taiwan is not accurate. Firstly, a country or region recognizes Taiwan's travel documents, does not mean it recognizes Taiwan as an independent or sovereign country. For example, Hong Kong and Macau are both special administrative regions (SAR) of China, but also have their own passports that are recognized by everyone. Meanwhile, the foreign diplomatic policies of Mainland China (PRC) and Taiwan (ROC) are mutual-exclusive; in other words, any country can only establish diplomatic relationship and recognize one of them at a time. Today, only 16 UN menber states recognize Taiwan (ROC) as an independent country.
Secondly, even though half of Taiwan's population (mostly young people) supports independence, it is stated in their constitution that both Mainland and Taiwan belong to the Republic of China (ROC), which also explains their diplomatic policy mentioned previously, since they also claim to be the only legitimate government of China. In 1992, the leaders of both PRC and ROC held a meeting in Singapore, and reached the "1992 Consensus", which stated that both sides belong to the same China, but currently ruled under separate governments. Basically, the reason why we are hearing so much voice on pro-independence from Taiwan is that the current rulling party in Taiwan is the pro-independence Democratic Progressice Party (aka. "The Green Party") instead of the pro-unification Nationalist Party (aka. Kuomintang).
In Taiwan there are Taiwanese natives & mainland China refugees. Taiwanese see themselves as a separate entity thus a separate country.
well there should be a way to amend the constitution and become an independent country if most people think they are taiwanese. Taiwan is a democracy after all
@@RandomVideos-re9ux It’s a lot more complicated. First, there isn’t a majority support for either re-unification or fully independence; the majority of the Taiwanese population actually prefer the status quo (the middle ground). Also, if Taiwan really amends its constitution and formally declares independence, then it breaches the Anti-Succession Law of PRC, then mainland China will try to take over Taiwan by force at any costs (and it doesn’t matter if there is foreign interference). This is also the most important reason why most Taiwanese don’t want any radical change to their constitution (even the pro-independence parties), since the military capabilities of the two are overly unbalanced. Also, many survey results show that of those Taiwanese who support independence, an overwhelming majority of them do not want to be personally involved in a military conflict with mainland China, which further diminishes the support for constitutional amendment.
Basically, everyone knows that there is almost no chance for Taiwan to become a fully independent country (including the US), no matter via armed conflicts, diplomatic actions, or legal reforms. This is also why the US has been trying to acquire the Taiwanese tech companies or move them to the US, so even if the mainland does take over, they wouldn’t obtain much gain in much needed technologies (e.g microprocessor manufacturing), which demotivates armed conflict in the short term. In addition, the presence of US forces in areas around Taiwan is to boost the confidence of the pro-independence Taiwanese and encourage their resistance against China; but on the other hand, those US forces would pull out as soon as there is any real risk of direct confrontation with the Chinese forces (this has happened many times).
Meanwhile, the PRC also promises giving Taiwan a special status similar to Hong Kong and Macau (the “One Country, Two Systems” policy), which allows them to set their own local laws and host their own elections etc. This has also led many Taiwanese to consider this as a more pragmatic alternative.
@@peter_hhm love seeing a chinese person telling me about democratic results
@@RandomVideos-re9ux Dude… many of these results are from studies done by the Taiwanese and American government institutions and universities. I’m simply trying to be as unbiased as possible, but in the end of the day, it’s up to you to decide what you’d like to believe.
The United States may split one day, it did split into the North and South once before, but that was mainly because of the views on slavery, but now some of the things that caused the Roman Empire to fall apart is starting to be seen in the United States such as inflation, boarder problems, and lack of patriotism, then again, the odds of that happening is very small.
Ussr did had that before.
That’s how South Sudan got its independence through civil war would another one divide that one up will they stop it will another country take over collapsing maybe or Sudan taking over or many other smaller nations who knows
It is in the constitution of New Zealand that if they choose to do so they could become part of Australia.
I bet New Zealand is really glad they didn't become a part of Aus right now. XD
I would gladly accept New Zealand as part of Australia.
Western Australia has used a veiled threat of going out on their own plenty of times.
See ya WA!!! 🤣
@@davidbellette4318 Unfortunately the people of NZ would generally not share your views. The discrimination of your welfare policies and deportations of 501s against Kiwis do not show a benevolent intent by the Government of Australia towards NZ. Australia is too close in cohoots with the US for most Kiwis. Would Australia accept the Treaty of Waitangi and give back land and reparation to Aboriginal nations? We only joke that the Mainland (South Island) would split from the North Island ... Maybe the maligned people of Tasmania will join NZ? Besides, wouldn't Australia become the Western Island of New Zealand? :o)
I just want to point out in the thumbnail that somehow Alaska is part of south us lol
You didn't talk about CANZUK🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇬🇧
Most likely because it’s not a country!
Because it’s not a country
Ah yes, Alaska and Hawaii is at southern USA.
The best thing that could happen to the US is a break from Insane Progressives and The Rational Rest!
I would have added Netherlands: a 30% of country is below of sea...
the song?
Why is Alaska in south US?
Republicans in Alaska?
how did alaska become part of south usa
The chance of the USA breaking up is miniscule? Looks frighteningly possible considering the political extremism both professionally and socially, the economic oligarchy, and the tribalism that has deep roots, I would say that it isn't unlikely however avoidable it may be.
Oh yea , Alaska in south
Where is your accent from?
Wouldn’t Alaska be north?
I find it funny that in the thumbnail he put Alaska as south USA
And you can have states like Michigan USA to rejoin with Canada, their former country
Actually, Canada as a polity didn't exist until long after the Thirteen successfully evaded the taxes they fought for. In order to give them to their "former country", you'd have to give them to the UK.
That’s true the Yankees stolen it after the War of 1812
If the U.S. did divide or was divided into a north and a south, contrary to your depiction, there is NO WAY Alaska would align with the south. Redraw the map on the title page !
Even if Catalunya (or even Galicia or Euskal herria) became independent, Spain would continue to exist.
How do you know all this that cannot been happens is a dream that will not come true
why is alaska in south usa in the thumbnail
Yes you missed Canada which we are more than the US.
You think so?
Once we ditch the weirdos in Alberta, everything'll be fine.
If the uk broke up i would be fine with that England Scotland Wales would probably reunite in like 5 years
Taiwan has never claimed to be an independent nation. It is controlled by Republic of China which considers itself the sole legitimate government of all of China, and declared the mainland to be part of its territory.
You forgot abut Afghanistan, Afghanistan will spared for three countries poshton will go to Pakistan Tajik will with Tajikistan and another country will be Hazarhstan ,
At end of the day. Every single country could dissapear in the future.
He means in the near future.
About Belgium
We Netherlands always refer Belgium with Flanders and even they make always tv content in Flemish. If you see a belgian program you always see the belgians showing the flemish map. Not the whole of Belgium.
Belgian ppl consume Dutch media allot cuz we are in majority.
perhaps Canada might invade Greenland one day?
I've got a better idea perhaps Norway will invade Canada
IN REGARDS TO THE UNITED STATES , I LIKE THE MASON DIXON LINE EXTENDED BEST .
THIS WOULD ALLOW THE NORTHERN SIDE TO MERGE WITH CANADA MUCH EASIER ,ECONOMICLY & OTHERWISE .
Monaco is set to split up into three different countries. Your take? 😉
Wait my country iraq not gonna exist anymore?
Catalonia only lasted 8 seconds though, not joking
How about Mongolia. It may be shared by Russia and China.

I think that Spain should keep Catalonia so Spain deserves it
Ukraine on the verge of not existing
yes because every video was posted after the invasion started

way to not mention the increasing amount of inequality in your comedy bit about the US
This script is absolutely random. The only few things which are correct are most banal and uninteresting. Also, I'm cringing at "third world developing country". This sounds like a kid playing with an atlas in school not knowing a thing about what they're saying.
Why would NK and SK combine? Countries don't typically willingly merge with each other. Both countries will probably always exist, with maybe a name change by NK to distance from their "past".
EAC???
This one is most probable.
10th largest country.

Alaska goes to the south, Totally Legit
The title of this video is rather dumb, since ALL countries will cease to exist in the future.
I wish it never reunited in 1865...
I reckon Laos would be colonized by China in neat future.
The circumstances of the formation of South Korea and North Korea was not a direct consequence of the Japanese Surrender.
You have, of course, forgotten Canada !!!
So California would go through the border
Who the hell shakes with their left hand?

Members of 'secret' societies recognise each other by specific handshake grips. So far as I know only members of the Scout / Guide organisation shake with the left hand.
The more likely one for the US is the US, Canada and Mexico making a North American Union or something
This list is terrible
Taiwan isn't that widely recognised tho. Not even nearly
Well if the uk breaks up Northern Ireland could join normal Ireland
I am from China mainland and I totally support self-determination of the regional population if they are independent or not. Yet, officially Taiwan is not a qualified "country" yet. The Republic of China is what the regime is called by themselves. As I have said, I am not against their independence intention if that's what the majority of the population want. But before they officially declare it, it's not. Or you just missed Crimea in your list.
How can you say that?? Taiwan has a constitution, their own military, own money, own government which is different than chinas, they can use UA-cam unlike mainland etc. Sounds like their own country to me
@@MichiganUSASingaporeSEAsia Would you mind going through their constitution and show us where it says the country name is "Taiwan"? “中华民国” or "the Republic of China" is what you can only find there, and the Republic is also including China mainland.
Better know what you are talking about before you start talking.
@@MichiganUSASingaporeSEAsia Just in case you have no idea what you got it wrong, here is the link of the ROC's national day parade, and if you read Chinese, it clearly says "中华民国".
To my knowledge there is a discussion in Taiwan if they should change the official name to Taiwan but they have not done it because that would make Beijing angry and increase the risk for a communist invasion.
ah yes. A country with its own military, currency, government, and self rule without any other nation’s help cannot be qualified as a country. What an awesome insight
the thumbnail: South alaska
You forgot the obvious one. Ireland will be reunited in the next 10 years
Is evident that the Euro Americans are rapidly diminishing in numbers while the Hispanic and Asian populations are rapidly growing, who will control this country in the future?
Northern and Soutbern Spain? what a dumb thing to say
I’m not gone watch this video but just going off the thumbnail including LA in south USA this video wrong
Well he sure was right about Russia
By the time of the 2028 Presidential elections, it will be impossible to distinguish AI videos from real ones, at which point America will split into separate realities each determined by their own ideologies and preconceived notions about what the would should look like.
Uhhhh... Ukraine?
How about Canada/Québec? That is muuuuch more possible than the USA separating… 🤷🏻♂️ (now we have the chance of Ukraine disappearing as the stupid Russian invasion is happening…hopefully the war will end up peacefully soon 🙏🏻☹️ )
I live in Lithuania and its going to be the next one
Both are highly unlikely but how do you consider it much more possible? The US's federal government was created by the states as a confederation.
yes unrealistic
Oh yeah, Alaska absolutely belongs to south of USA.
3/4 of the landmass of the Russian empire is east of the urals. Most of the population is Muslim, and asiatic. China has already ordered its map making bureau to label cities and regions it had a century and a half ago in Manchu/mandarin. I could easily the Russian empire splitting.
Belarus, yes. But you evidently missed Ukraine being part of the Russian Federation
as well a Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
USA will expand with Puerto Rico, District of Columbia, Samoa and Guam becoming states. And European Union will become one country with Brussels the capital.
Yes Puerto Rico may no longer be a state on its own and be one of the states of the USA
Do you not see the wreck the EU is becoming? Greek debt, Spaniard debt, Italian debt, Germany being more reluctant to pay for said debt, COVID, Brexit.... if the EU survives, it's not on a good track to be as big as it currently is.
