    Europe has colonized itself so many times I'm not sure these borders would make any major difference. Major props for taking the panhandle away from Austria, however. They never do anything with it anyway.

    it's not fair that even in this alternate reality ireland is still divided while scotland and wales are independent

    Norway would be split into one large stretch of basically nothing and several small states where all the oil is

      Yeah that looks just about right. Compares pretty well to the levant and west africa. OP was missing all the random jutting rectangles

        It still respects language barriers too much. Country names still correspond to cultures. God I fucking hate what colonialism did to most of the world

      I unironically prefer South European Republic than what we have now.

      The borders appear to be deliberately "wrong" to make a point about how ridiculous borders are in the colonized world.

        That's what I figured

        Also American State borders are a disaster

      The problem with the European-drawn borders in Africa is more the way that they tended to cut ethnic groups in half, and also group different groups together and arbitrarily pick one group to be in charge (often because people in that group tended to have lighter skin). The unnatural straight borders (not that any borders are natural, but you get what I mean) are less of a problem in anf of themselves, it's about what they symbolize

    Losing Limburg do Belgium.

    Sounds like an amazing deal, how do we make this happen?
