      scrolling through island nations or provinces trying to find the best one to start struggle sessions over

      Falklands, already done... Hawaii, we all agree... Taiwan also... how about... uh... Corsica?

        1200 hours of EU4 have prepared me for this moment.

        Corsica obviously belongs to the Prusso-Mughal empire, and I'm backing it up with my total war CB.

        Goddammit I thought I was gonna just scroll through Wikipedia to come up with some random bizarre historical claim about this peaceful little island, like saying we should re-establish Genoa and return it to them, but now you've got me actually going down a rabbit hole investigating the history of the FLNC.

        I had no idea there was such a spicy group over there, or that there was even any conflict.

        Give it to Niger as part of reparations. Aim some missiles at France and get Europe to stop fucking with Africa. Create the African Union and have some Soviet/Chinese-style turnaround.

          Bold plan to give a landlocked country with no navy an overseas territory. At least consider Tunisia or Algeria first.

            Exactly. They'll never see it coming. Keeps them on their toes.
            Giving Long Island to Mali next.
            Pray the deal isn't altered further.

          it seems like it would be more helpful to give them agriculture equipment and money than an island they never had and probably don't even want full of people who don't think they're nigerien

            Now Niger is getting Mayotte, Clipperton, Guiana, Polynesia, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Caledonia, Réunion, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Martin, Saint Pierre and Miquelon and Wallis and Futuna. Keep pushing and they're getting more islands.

        I feel like there's a good one available about the Soviet occupation of Bornholm maybe.
