Spain would really get carved up. Reflects how a united Spain was the result of dynastic marriages leading to Ferdinand and Isabella. Free Bavaria from Prussian oppression!! :)

Spain? Think about Italy. Metternich once said “Italy is just a geographical expression”.

An independent Bavaria would probably be the most conservative state on the Continent.

At first I didn't really care one way or the other about the Scottish independence vote, other than seeing it as one of those political curiosities that's fun to watch. But in the last couple weeks seeing how the mere thought of independence is making the one world government Globalists go ape-s**t, I now sincerely hope the “Yes” side wins convincingly....

All the nations seeking independence on their own land except Russians. They plaque unsuspecting welcoming neighbors, then start complaining that natives won’t speak Russian, therefore everything must become Russia. Beware of Trojan Horses and Russian tourists.

There would be one big difference - they would all belong to the superstate EU.

I’d be perfectly content if California split up into multiple states. It’d be better for CA and for the nation.

Waiting for the Frisians to declare independence from the Netherlands and Wales from the UK.

For those who think that culture, language, and borders don't matter, they should look at Europe and the rest of the world.

Our political class ignores what mass immigration, legal and illegal, will do to the US. They preach multiculturalism and diversity as strengths. The reality is that we are destroying the fabric of this country that will lead eventually to Balkanzation along racial, ethnic, linguistic, and cultural lines.

In 1970 one in 21 was foreign born; today, it is one in 8, the highest in 90 years; and within a decade it will be one in 7, the highest in our history.

I’m not so sure carving up countries into smaller ones is a bad thing.

Big government has not proved to be the solution for the people. It fosters corruption on a massive scale. It encourages the formation of a ruling class. It is totally detached from the will of the people. It wastes enormous amounts of money. It bullies states, counties, cities, & the people.

While they are at it, they ought to give Luxembourg back all the land that was stolen from them in 1815 (the Districit of Bitburg in the Rheinland and in 1839, the Canton of Luxembourg which was given to the new country of Belgium.

The little country was divided so that their land mass was only about 40% of what it hade been and the population was also only about 35-40% of what it ought to be. The people of these places still speak the Letzeburgesh language. This was done by larger European countries without any consultation with - or voting of the Luxembourg population.
