Split*

Belgium should be dismantled as should Switzerland

I mean the venitian land was Slavic for a while

The Ventii

Switzerland has a distinct national identity that has existed since the middle ages though

They may speak the languages of their neighbors, but that doesn't mean they are the same

It's what you get when you mix German Italian Austrian and French

Yeah but they're still mostly Germans. The Bavarians are still a part of Germany yet it still retains its regional culture

I don't see a problem

They are Germanic but not really Germans

Because Switzerland is a very important geopolitical figure and European Nation

If you start considering them German than why not Danes, Dutchmen, Swedes, Norwegians etc

And what about the Sorbs?

And German parts of Silesia?

And Pomerania?

Not entirely no, southern and Eastern Switzerland should be given to Italy and France respectively

Rugia?

Minor ethnicities are too irrelevant to have a stand alone nation

Szczecin?

Tell that to the HRE @Deleted User

That wasn't a nation, it was

Well

The HRE wasn't really drawn along ethnic lines though

A shitfest

Lol

It has several tiny nations

Had

Because it was a sort-of confederation

I'm just saying

Small nations could be protected by the bigger ones

Sorbia if taken from Poland and Germany

Might be fine

Plus

The HRE predates the idea of nationalism

Well

There was always nationalism

I hate when people say that

Until its very end of it's life

You don't think people cared about if France survived?

It wasn't the big multi ethnic society

Like Germany
