For example, Hawaii, Quebec, Scottland, etc Bonus points for more obscure ones
Actually, I just realized a good troll doing the opposite. I would not recognize the dissolution of the Soviet Union and in every statement and meeting refer to the leader/bureaucrats of an ex-Soviet nation as having that position in the Soviet Union. e.g. One week I meet with "President of the Soviet Union Vladimir Putin" and immediately the next week meet with "President of the Soviet Union Volodymyr Zelensky" and then two days later meet with "President of the Soviet Union Alexander Lukashenko and Soviet Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov". The Baltic states would be most exceptionally pissed off by this.
Treating the independent states of Czechia and Slovakia like they divided unjustly and making all assistance contingent on them setting up talks about unification.
I would recognize every sovereign citizen as their own nation and regularly criticize the US for colonizing them.
Also, the only person I would refer to as "the pope" is Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.
Nobody ruling from anywhere else than Pisa can lay a legitimate claim to the papacy.
We support the brave freedom fighters in their struggle to liberate occupied Ohio
Declaring Northern Ireland independent would piss off two groups at once
Hawaii, Quebec and Scotland are definitely good ones.
I would keep calling Australia a province of New Zealand because that would annoy both countries
New Zealand in charge of Australia and then recognize Sydney as the new capital
Kurdistan, Hawaii, The City of London, The Basque Country, Galicia, The Haudenosaunee, Donetsk People's Republic (but not Luhansk), and the Dominion of Newfoundland.
Also I would recognize North Macedonia/FYROM only as 'The Alexandrian Republic of Greater Macedonia' and only accept one ambassador from the United Arab Republic and one from Gran Colombia.
France should only be recognised as "the former Roman province of Gallia"
To piss off the maximum number of people I think you'd have to recognize northern Ireland as independent from the UK, but not as part of the republic of ireland
Death to America
I would recognize all the treaties the US and Canada signed with each of the Native American peoples and demand they be represented at state functions.
Signing mutual defense pacts with all of the native american and first nations groups.
Catalonia and only Catalonia is to be recognized as "Spain", all other so-called "territory of Spain" is to be more accurately referred to as disputed territory between Morocco and Portugal
Going to advocate for the restoration of the Princely State of Kashmir and Jammu
Congratulations to Juan Guaido on becoming the new president of the Independent Republic of Texas.
Always send minor functionaries to meet the POTUS and full ambassadors to meet with governors.
Well Puerto Rico is the first place that comes to mind. They couldn't send an embassy of course, but that's okay, I would just find some random worker and offer them an office and an apartment if they agree to emigrate and act as an ambassador. It would be fun, they could occasionally help out Puerto Rican tourists with consular services and spend the rest of their time as a dignitary drinking at state functions, or hanging out teaching me to speak Spanish!
This sounds like a nice version of the Guiado Strategy :comfy:
