Ask Lemmy

I don't think any country needs to exist. We could have a government like The Federation in star trek where the entire Earth is the "country," if we didn't have hate and distrust of others and could actually share the planet equally.

North Africa. We have South Africa as a country, but not North Africa.

Bavaria. But only to get them out of Germany.

Recognize these micro nations built on oil platforms or artificial reefs out in the middle of the ocean, like the Principality of Sealand.

It would basically be nonstop entertainment with all the stories of libertarian nutbars fucking each other over.

Siberia. Or, perhaps, a loose federation of states based on North Asian indigenous peoples. Ukraine had been lucky enough to get out of the russian empire eventually, but they're still stuck in there.

None.

Transylvania

I would love it if the USA Balkanized

First nations, and any pre-colonization civilizations that were erased. Make people have to get paperwork for the entire venn diagram of nations depending on where they live.

Wakanda, Krakoa, and Transia

You get tech goodies, safe haven, and fantasy goodies. Count me in (we'll ignore the Cthon risk if Transia was real. I'd take Cthon over Trump right now)

Cascadia would be interesting. Washington, Oregon, California, maybe British Columbia too.

As for me, I would like a republic governed by the penguins in Antarctica, because penguins are pretty cool! And maybe we can give the different aquatic species sovereignty over the ocean, because that would make international trade a lot more interesting.

As for countries run by humans, I would chop South Africa in half so we can create North Africa, it feels a bit mismatched otherwise. And all the little British and French bits scattered around the world should be independent, we would get a lot of extra countries! Except French Guiana, so we can still say that the longest land border of the French is with Brazil. At the very least, only the bits that don't touch Brazil can become independent (win-win situation in my opinion).

Quebec can do its own thing, and maybe some of the United States could become less united. There's not enough countries in continental North America. You could do the same with Brazil and Argentina too for South America, imagine, we could have so many more Guays along with Paraguay and Uruguay, maybe enough to complete the alphabet! Siberian Russia can be broken up, because it bothers me that there are many countries in Central, South, and East Asia, but only Russia in the North.

countries shouldn't exist because borders are arbitrary racist bullshit

but also scotland should definitely not be part of the uk because scotland needs to be independent <3

Scandinavia, provided the banter between the people remain

Genosha

I'll go old school.

Pellucidar.

The Earth is hollow and the people of Pellucidar only know of the surface world thanks to a few brave adventurers like Tarzan.

Xanth

Crimean Khanate: I want a horde-nation in modern times and I want it in Crimea.

Rojava: Is already a progressive, socialist, Kurdish, secular government with high anarchist influence in middle-east, imagine if they had rest of Kurdistan and independence.

Rome.

Finland.

United federation of europe with a swiss government model and german decentralisation

Arabian Peninsula needs to unify into one country for the purpose of hosting football world cups.

This thing with alternating between Qatar and then Saudi Arabia doesn't make sense. Neither of them have enough cities or stadiums for a proper World Cup. But together Saudi, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and UAE could do it.

Western Sahara.... The invisible Palestine

I think the world would be a lot better off without humanity.

None.

Listenbourg and James

Vatican yes. Then Kosovo.

And I want Cyprus, Ireland, Korea united again. We in Germany had that luck. Others should also get the chance.
