Why did Brittany lose about half of Brittany? Also no independence for the Basques or Catalans?

[–] ledlecreeper27@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago

The Basques and Catalans get all of Spain and Brittany gets to split England with Wales.

Probably because it would not have existed if not for France, since before 1920 it was largely part of the greater Syrian region.

No, but don't say that if you ever visit

I meant specifically in this context, but thx for the tip

Confuse Corsica and Sardinia while talking to a local in either of the two islands in order to be instantly executed by the locals.

Too much actual French territory left for my taste.

Correct course of action: give the Pyrénées-Atlantiques to the Basque Country and the Pyrénées-Orientales to Catalonia. Balkanize Spain immediately after.

The French are on a Humphrey Bogart vibe reading this meme “We’ll always have Paris” lol

[–] muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oof yeah, parisians might support this meme thinking "nothing of value was lost".

Once paris learns they can't eat post-modern-post-left-structuralist theory, they'll surrender to Algeria.

They’d be selling every damn “sacred” painting in the Louvre for a few hundred Francs for some Wine and cheese (sorry if that was over the line lol I apologize but it was funny)

Where's Occitania?

[–] AlbigensianGhoul@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't the Celtic peoples and other non-Frankish french people have some barely existent independence movements? I remember reading a bit about them and the EFA, and they might make for some actually legit grounds for "decolonisation" of metropolitan France.

Can we do the Anglos next?

[–] ledlecreeper27@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There are independence movements in France for Basque Country, Brittany, Corsica, Occitania, and northern Catalonia as well as the overseas colonies.

For the Anglos, Ireland should be reunified and Wales and Scotland should be independent. Cornwall and the Isle of Man might also be independent or joined with Wales/Scotland since they have Celtic languages.

[–] AlbigensianGhoul@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Also separate Mercia, the -sex kingdoms and Northumberland just to mess with them. If we are to apply the NATO logic, every division of England should have the same population as NI, which means about 1 country for every 8 London boroughs.

Where are you from? We could talk about your country, cunt.

Outstanding move

[–] ButtigiegMineralMap@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not criticizing this, just trying to better understand: what do the overlapping territories mean? I assume there’s a reason why they overlap

[–] ledlecreeper27@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Before colonization, they lived in stateless societies without borders and the population density was generally low so sometimes multiple nations would live in the same area. Many groups were also nomadic, especially on the Plains.

[–] ButtigiegMineralMap@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah that makes a lot of sense. I was also sorta wondering about the legislation issue. I assume that the overlapping groups would come to a compromise on certain laws in those overlapped regions but it’s a bit confusing because in the US we have states with different laws and once you cross official state lines you know that the laws change (even if you don’t know specifics of which laws changed and how different they are but you know it’s different). Admittedly a dumb question but if you go from the Blue region to the purple-ish blue region is there a change in laws or do they stay the same until you pass into the purple region? As I’m asking this part of me is understanding that this is mostly up to the Indigenous groups that run the territory but what are your 2 cents on the matter?

[–] ledlecreeper27@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

You would probably have to draw clear borders and have different groups compromise on where to draw the line. Since a lot of natives were exiled to Oklahoma, some nations might be split with one section in their homeland and one where their reservations are now, and both sections could be part of the same ASSR or whatever you would call the regions.

What fear of retaliation looks like:

Imagine sticking your neck out for fuckin France. Thats like going to bat for the UK.
