Right, here is a map I drew up, the challenge is to come up with a time line which includes Europe looking like this at some point (the Coloured nations are those that are considered a part of Europe, so in this it would include the north African one, but not Turkish nations or Cyprus). The modern day map could look very different, or it could not settle on this until today. The idea behind the map was to make Europe as different as I could, so I was trying to avoid states that would inevitably be called the name of an existing one (e.g, I've tried to avoid a Germany or France in particular). Borders can be juggled to fit with natural boundaries like rivers or mountains, but try to keep it to a minimum please.
