    I’d really love to see what Africa would look like without randomly created colonial superstates. I know Atlas Pro did a video about that, but not sure how accurate that is.

    Also what Europe if every people group with a unintelligible dialect had a nation. Like Catalan, Occitan, Romansh, Bavarian etc… Where I live the people in the next village over officially speak the same language, but it’s completely unintelligible. So not a different language for political reasons only really.

      Papua New Guinea/Indonesia and Africa have like a thousand to a two thousand languages each, I think it’d be funnier doing that with them

      Same for India, if the British never came what countries would exist in that region? All the states pretty much have different languages, cultures, food, politics, etc so it’s more like an EU with a common military

      In that case India would be a ton of tiny nations as well.
