Don't worry, I'm being sarcastic : P

This map makes me sick just looking at it
found this on google images
Well.
This will be a model of peace and stability...
Straight lines always work really well for international borders...
And there definitely won't be any issues with Israel stretching from the Suez to Lebanon...
[/sarcasm]
To be fair, I think it's supposed to be a rough sketch
But that just makes it a rough sketch of a plan made by someone whose understanding of geopolitics comes mainly from a Let's Play of a Paradox Interactive game
I'll accept that the lines might be just sketches, but it doesn't make it any better. My understanding of geopolitics comes from a few Wikipedia articles, and even I know that putting Armenia into Kurdistan, while leaving Nagorno-Karabakh in Azerbaijan is not a recipe for mutual understanding and harmony.
On another note, can someone enlighten me as to the point of "Arabistan"?
If I recall correctly, that region of Iran has a fairly large Arab minority, or something to that affect.

Thanks. Although not sure how the smallish Arab region turned into that enormous state.
It doesn't even really line up with Arabistan.
@Bennett, was this a legitimate proposal? Obviously it wasn't made by someone in politics but was this a serious proposal by someone online?

I like how Turkmenistan doesn't include all of actual Turkmenistan
Also I guess Syrian Kurdistan doesn't count as actual Kurdistan but for some reason Armenia does

No clue. Was looking up historical Kurdish states for a map patch, but the site was in Persian or Arabic.
I looked into it, and it appears to be an old plan for divvying up the Middle East. Something from the 1990s, or so.
Apparently it was a tiny bit more complex, but not by much.
@Bennett it was apparently published in 1985, but the source is shady. Arguably, the whole ultra-libanization of the map would come from contemporary events.
- "Autonomous Alawite entity"
- "Maronite Entity"
-"Druze Entity"
- "Iranistan"
- "Pharaonic Egypt"
- "Northern Suda....Wait
- PHARAONIC EGYPT?! W.T.F.?
- "Northern Sudanese Rump State"
- "Borderless Peninsular States"

Only slightly better, honestly.Apparently it was a tiny bit more complex, but not by much.

That reminds me of another map about the breakup of the US, this time from some Russian guy.

Alas, it is 2018 and I am still not living under the Maple Leaf flag.

Grouping hypothetical balkanized states together by political or cultural similarities? Nah.
Grouping hypothetical balkanized states together in random lumps based on nearby powers? Perfect.
How the USA Won't Fucking Shatter
Alright, so I looked into the post, and I found the key. I'm posting the original map again just so the key matches:
A- Joins Canada (Hello! Welcome to Sierra Nevada, Canada!!)
B- California
C- Nation of Utah
D- Texas Republic (¿Perdón?)
E- Greater Illinois (¿Perdón?)
F- Confederation of Appalachia (Heh?)
G- Rich South (Heh?)
H- Greater New England
I - United States (¿PERDÓN?)
Further addendum: Looking at the entire thread, it's from about 2013, and it seems pretty alt-righty. Most predictions involve white genocide, with one prediction involving the Aztlán ethnostate. Here's the thread if you wanna judge for yourself
