I'm currently playing a game of Victoria 2 as Prussia. Russia won't stop picking on me despite my constantly whupping them. As a result in the late 19th century we've a independant Ukraine, Belarus, Crimea and Georga (can't be giving those Poles any ideas and I want the Baltics! ).
This really got me thinking. Russia is actually a pretty multi-ethnic place. Especially earlier in the 20th century, before Russianisation had really took its toll.
So. A bit of a challenge: break up the Russian Empire as of 1900 (take a POD anywhere after this) into as many different countries as you can.
In particular I'm curious about the internal minorities in Russia. How many of those have the geography and numbers to make for a feasible state?
