Rearranging Europe:
From the Coming Anarchy site: projected maps of Europe in the future and the former Yugoslav areas, along with their tag on microstates. Personally, I strongly doubt some of this; France has been doing a thorough stomp of its minority groups (linguistics-wise, especially) for the last 100+ years to Make Everyone Parisian, and the Bosniak Muslims don’t seem to have a place in that partition of Bosnia-Herzegovina. And there’s a war *right* there.
Mr. Whyte is deeper into all this than I am by a wide margin. Most likely in these de-evolutions, I think, are Scotland, the Spanish ones and a breakup of Belgium between Flemish and Walloons. (I’m a mild Francophile and a much stronger Nederlands-ophile, so…)
(I will also note that I think that the French central government’s attitude on quashing linguistic minorities is terrible, and I hate it.)
Just for the fun of it, here’s their posts on rearranging other areas:
- Central Asia (essentially breaking up Afghanistan and Pakistan)
- Middle East (see also here)
- Malaysia / Phillipines / Indonesia (my readers in Singapore probably have some thoughts on this) (see also this on Sarawak and this on Thailand)
