What's with Belarus having a schlong?
-
Not enough fuck you in those lines. You need to have the borders cut off historical populations from each other or put a bunch of clashing ethnic groups in the same state. Like make a border running right through paris or smash all the balkans back together.
-
Suggestions for maximum chaos and discord:
- Split the Nordic peninsula into 3 countries, but borders run east-west. People in former Finland have to go through another country to get around the Gulf of Bothnia / Baltic Sea.
- Expand borders of Germany, you know, just so they can have some Lebensraum. There won't be any issues with that surely.
- Balkan superstate. Make sure everyone has a voice in its vibrant democracy, but gerrymander the hell out of it.
- Merge southern France, Spain and Italy so the merged country can have maximum Mediterranean beachfront. Just think of the tourism revenues!
- Leave Northern Ireland exactly as it is.
-
Ahem, Ireland would like a word…
-
Like splitting a bunch of hungarians off from hungary or putting a bunch of croats and serbs in the same country... oh wait /s
-
-
they would have created borders in a way, that one country always consists of two nations/tribes that don't like each other.
the map simply shows straightened borders for existing countries...
-
...and call that country "Belgium"
-
How dare you use that word!
-
"country"
-
I think we settle this a while ago that that’s not a real country

Zeg, zal 't een beetje gaa jong?

Like a Yugoslavia?

Colonization 101.
You, the colonizer, land on an island with three tribes. Call them Lions, Tigers, and Bears. The Lions are 50% of the population, and control 80% of the wealth. The Tigers are 40% of the population and control 15% of the wealth. The Bears are 10% of the population and have 5% of the wealth. You recruit the Bears to be your army and promise them 10% of the wealth. They love you because you've made them richer than they were before, and they get pay back against the folks who were their enemies forever.

I'd imagine there'd also be borders set within a given "tribe" where one group's land was split between different colonizing powers and the different colonies ended up with different governments and possibly languages from one another.
-
Which of course makes identifying borders really hard. This is why they often follow distinct geography features like rivers and mountain ranges, or form a line between distinct features.
Also never known of an entire continent acting as a single force.

-
Yeah, this is way too respectful of ethnic groups.
-
Why the fuck is Kalliningrad still in this map?
Like are there any such situations in other colonized continents?
-
The Gambia
-
Does Michigan count?
-
-
Crimea is Ukraine.
-
It sure wouldn't be if it was Sykes or Picot drawing those borders.

I like the way nothing really changed in Ireland. Hehe, we sure got screwed
-
If Ireland had been colonized
"If"
-
-
What would they be called?
-
[off topic?]
Great alternate history science fiction novel. What if the Black Plague had killed 99% of the European population. Who would have stepped up?
-
Isn't that what happened anyway?
-
No, the Black Death killed about half of the population.
I'll edit.

Boxy Bulgaria becomes boxier.
