The Caucasian Confederation, or CauCon for short, has been a stunning example of interfaith, multicultural cooperation. Sure they are some separatist movements, like the Chechens and Circassians and Azerbaijanis, but most ethnic groups in the CauCon have been loyal to their country, and in the three ethnic groups I mentioned the vast majority of Chechens, Circassians and Azerbaijanis oppose separatism.
But what if they had been no Caucasian Confederation? How would that change history?
OOC: Let's say that the CauCon also has Iranian Azerbaijan.
