Missisippi is forming a southern state defense compact

This sets precedent for secession

Epic

hmm

I treat nation states like people

And I am content with what we currently have. All I want is the good relations with ex Commonwealth nations.

The US is old

Has an identity that cannot be reinvented

And other neighbors

Reform on the fundamental level is near impossible

A new Nation state doesn’t have that to nearly the same degree

It presents opportunity

i agree there

Perhaps if an explicitly right leaning nation with the south, rust belt and great plains could be influenced by us

There would be vacancies in all key positions

Perfect opportunity in more ways than one

If it were like that I'd put up with it for a while
But in the longterm the territorial situation is unacceptable regardless

Turkey is far from low hanging fruit though

A Greece controlling the coast both sides of the Aegean is a major goal for my lifetime

I'll be sorely disappointed if the kebabs retain it

Idc about Italy controlling majority Turk areas tbh

Either way it makes sense to put the coastlines under Greek jurisdiction, the rest being more of a colony

Greece would have a hard time holding on to all of Anatolia so the colony should be some jointly governed kind of thing

Afaik before the population exchange there was an idea floating around about making another Greek state for Pontic Greeks

there should be a state for Pontic Greeks. They are basically grekophone caucasus natives

The Megali Idea implied the goal of reviving the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, by establishing a Greek state, which would be, as ancient geographer Strabo wrote, a Greek world encompassing mostly the former Byzantine lands from the Ionian Sea to the west, to Asia Minor and the Black Sea to the east and from Thrace, Macedonia and Epirus to the north, to Crete and Cyprus to the south. This new state would have Constantinople as its capital: it would be the "Greece of Two Continents and Five Seas" (Europe and Asia, the Ionian, Aegean, Marmara, Black and Libyan Seas, respectively).

who made that map? why do tsakonian take up that much land?

because it is a doric derivative?

Yes.

Because it is Doric derived.

Also I made it.
