A map of a more perfect world. A labelled version is coming soon. Thoughts? Questions? Feedback?
First important tip: DO NOT state categorically that the map represents "a more perfect world". Word it in a more neutral way, like "what I think a more perfect world would be" or something similar.
Otherwise, people will be much more likely to judge the map negatively, since it sounds like you are essentially saying that your worldview is the objective truth.
Another comentaries:
Where do I begin? It's too noticeable that this map is "OTL only better, and with the oppressed nationalities we like in America and only those! being free."
Strictly following this logic of balkanizing countries so that all nationalisms have their own country, the United States should be much smaller, not even bigger, since they would have liberated the indigenous nations, Texas and California would be their own States, and Alaska too . Nunavut and Quebec should be independent.
In addition to the fact that there would be a Mapuche nation that covers half of Patagonia and Paraguay should have its borders prior to the War of the Triple Alliance.
That Uruguay will be, at best, the victim of horrible linguistic and ethnic conflicts that will make Quebec look like a joke. Something more similar to Belgium, I would say.
The borders of the Sahara are terrible, I will assume that those of the rest of Africa are based on ethnic lines. I don't know too much about it to comment, but there will definitely be a lot of nations condemned to even greater poverty and misery simply because they don't have easy access to the sea to trade (depending on possibly hostile nations giving them access to the sea). ). Ethiopians are definitely not happy about this.
Ok, the idea of Portugal annexing Galicia is spectacularly bad for a very simple reason: Galicians consider the Portuguese to be poor and wild cousins. This union would have to be directed from Santiago de Compostela and following Galician lines, or else they will never accept it. Basically, this would be equivalent to subordinating 10.3 million people (population of Portugal, OTL 2020 figures) to the wishes and interests of 2.7 million (population of Galicia in OTL 2020) who deeply detest the majority as barbarian savages. . Which, obviously, would not be accepted by the Portuguese either. We would get an apartheid in Europe.
The Basques are definitely not going to like NOTHING not being able to obtain Navarra, it is one of their most essential claims. It would be like trying to have the United States but with the original 13 Colonies being part of the United Kingdom.
Serbia is definitely not going to cede Kosovo to Albania, even if you give them those horrible enclaves in Bosnia in return. This seems more like the UN forced the division of Yugoslavia along ethnic lines rather than the result of a realistic evolution of the situation on the ground.
The Turks are definitely going to be RAGED and probably thinking things like "Why wouldn't we complete the genocide when we could, WHY?!" A very strained relationship with your neighbors is the likely result.
Constantinople won't last long without Greece or Turkey trying to eat it up. The same goes for East Prussia (or Kaliningrad? What exactly is that?), although in that case it will be Poland.
What happened in the Caucasus?!
Russia will not be happy either. China depends on how her situation evolves; it is likely that if they are prosperous and rich, and the neighbors are reasonable, they will not protest too much. Although it is likely that the states that are next to him are the scene of a power game between China and Russia. Koreans will be happy unless they are under the yoke of the Kims.
EDIT: I put the comments before reading the rest of the thread where some points are clarified.
