Possible Nation States

I it possible for states that existed once or are currently not recognised/attempting to secede to gain full nation status

an example being somaliland. compared to somalia its working yet no one recognises it?

Manchuria/Manchukuo

Any others?
And if someone can make a map for me to show peple and myself what nations could form that would be great

Everybody's already made a thread for everything. Nothing on here is new anymore. And with so many threads lost in the streams of time, it's time to remake them.
Im not talking about a two year old thread, Im talking about a two week old one.;)
 
Alright, let's start in North America;

1) Texas
2) California
3) New York
4) The old Confederate States
5) Ectopia (California, western Oregon and Washington to the 120W, and possibly including British Columbia (to north) and Baja California (to south)
6) the original states of New England (CT, RI, Mass, VT, NH, Me--possibly with the addition of the Maritimes, particularly if Quebec becomes a nation-state and cuts the Maritimes off from the rest of Canada)
7) The Industrial Triangle (the states bordering the Great Lakes, from New York to Minnasota, with the possible inclusion of Ontario, particularly if Quebec becomes independent.
8) The Plains states (The Dakotas, Minnasota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri)
9) The Mountain states (Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, possibly including the eastern parts of Washington and Oregon, if Ectopia exists.
10) Prairie Provinces of Canada (Alberta, Saskatchawan, Manitoba, Ontario, with access to the Great Lakes).
 
The first that come to mind in the order of likelihood of them happening are Quebec, followed by Tibet and East Turkestan, then Kurdistan. Maybe Basque country, and Catalonia? Doubt it will happen for them though except maybe Quebec sometime this century and Tibet and East Turkestan whenever the PRC eventually collapses or turns into a true democracy. That could take some time, or maybe not.

On the other hand, I can see Belgium being divided by France and the Netherlands with an independent Brussels.
 
Woooops...:eek: Ecotopia not ectopia... Ectopia is a medical condition.

For want of an extra 'o'...
Come to think of it, that could be the name of an alternate history thread.:)
