Hey, can you consider doing a scenario where the former Warsaw Pact countries save Germany formed an Intermarrium Alliance. Ukraine and Belarus included?
My favorite game is conflict of nations but it keeps crashing my phones I bought a new phone for the game and it was unable to work! I am pissed off at how much I spent on that game and can't even use it!
Actually if you ignore the religious divide, ethnic divide, linguistic divide, historical baggage, nationalism, internal unrest, nuclear arsenals, ideological differences, support of terrorist groups, revanchism, dictatorships, overpopulation, nuclear arsenals, territorial divisons due to mountainous areas, economic instability, differences in foreign affairs, separatism, competition for water, competition for resources, arguments over leadership, the disappearance of Nepal's flag and the entire state of China, then a united Indian subcontinent is very much possible.
Highly doubt it since Iraq & Saudi Arabia are still dependent on American military protection, Iran being a sponsor of terrorists, Pakistan being the only nuclear armed state & the irreversible poverty of Yemen.
Just to be clear, is it likely? No, not particularly. Is it more likely than a union of all Islamic countries? Yes, obviously. I can see the possibility of, in the fullness of time, pan-Arabism increasing over the coming decades and actually resulting in some form of unification between certain Arab states, likely if only on a limited scale if it is possible at all. I think it is much more likely that, say, Yemen and Oman become unified than Saudi Arabia and Iran become unified.
Saying you support something like that in a pool is not the same as actually supporting it. Especially when you are faces with the ramifications of what that would entail. I wouldn't place too much confidence in that 36%
Agreed, I’m actually for succession is some way shape or form. But overall I think being a part of the US is better than being independent for most states. County level succession is something I’m interested in though, where a county leaves one state and joins another, like greater Idaho
@@benisboop The fact still remains that at least 36% of Americans have such little faith and enough animosity towards the Union that they would be open to the idea of secession. One-third is a pretty big damn number in a nation of 400 million people or so. If you have use the threat of military to keep the nation together, then you're admitting that that the Fed has lost its legitimacy as a civil government and has to use brute force to keep their little empire afloat. People tend to resent governments that have a forceful mindset. The problem, is that as soon as that military were to face some sort of defeat or decline, which will happen on a long enough timeline, the government's ability to use it as a cudgel of authority deflates. So even though that poll seems irrelevant right now, it indicates a trend in the political environment going forward. These sentiments can be suppressed initially by media censorship or military threat, but that's really just going to pack more powder into the keg.
@@electivetoast6897 Resorting to force is a sign of loss in Legitimacy. What do you think of Lincoln in regards to that? This is not a gotcha, this is a genuine question.
Lincoln severely overstepped his boundaries as president by suspending habeas corpus before Congress approved it. He had numerous detractors in the North censored and jailed, one Ohio senator was even deported to Canada for his criticism of Lincoln. He was a firm believer in the Henry Clay agenda of a centralized government and infrastructure which created the croney Fed we know of today. He didn't even really believe in ending slavery out of moral compassion, evidenced by the fact that his famous proclamation exempted the slaveholding border states. Also, make no mistake, he was fully aware of the outright war crime that was Sherman's march to the sea. Lincoln's administration is what began the US' slide into an Empire pretending to be some moral crusader Republic.
@@Cool-123 The Dark Lands of the World Before. It's an audio drama I made with a bunch of amazing voice actors set after a world where California seceded from the U.S. Mister Z even has a brief cameo in one episode. 😁
Hypocrisy we love to see it. I know not many people believe this is a popular idea or even a good one. But that's why at this point I'm just ready for Texas to become its own independent country. And if you disagree that's completely fine. In fact I would love to hear why if you do disagree
@@virgilsteve Texas becoming independent now would not be a good idea since 2021, it became majority Latin. Texas would then either join Mexico or create another Latin country with Arizona, New Mexico, and California. The reason? They believe in La Raza.
@@useritiswhatitis4655 That's a very interesting point not many people have brought that up. Well I don't think that would necessarily affect Texas chances too much. I do find it interesting and would like to know more.
As a conservative i can strongly say that if California ever decided to leave the union I'd bake them at goddamn cake and wish them luck as I helped build the new border processing stations along the california-nevada border
As a American, if California does leave, we will wait until the next election to make some changes possibly a couple constitutional amendments. Then we will break California in two and force them back into the union, California would never have the influence it did have before seceding
imho I'd very much enjoy an alternate history video about a majority Manchu Manchuria surviving up to this day, it's a very interesting region that is often sidelined by Japan, China and Siberia in Alternate History about East Asia
With the New Africa concept, the division of the Mississippi Delta from the upper river would be unfeasible. There would have to be a land swap, such as Florida for Louisiana/Mississippi.
Aw man I was hoping for am analysis of Texas as its own country. I know technically it already existed as a separate country for 10 years but I was hoping for a modern day analysis.
This video only covers countries that are impossible. Texas would have a lot of hardship, but could potentially pull through, unlike California which literally couldn't survive on its own.
@@ifiguredouthowtochangemyna3945 Texas has nothing but Oil to prop up its economy. It would be a north american saudi arabia where much like venezuela as soon as the oil prices plummet or the fields dried up it will collapse into a third world country.
@@spoonsareoccasionallymadeo5728 Most of California’s power grid infrastructure is within California itself so they more or less would control the power of there region, though getting power made would be another story. Water would also still be a major issue though unless they start building and installing de-saltation plants.
Here's an alternate history scenario German Japanese empire or German Japanese Union basically have Kaiser Wilhelm meet a Japanese princess when he's a teenager because the prussians helped the Japanese with their military so we can have a young Kaiser Wilhelm meet the young Japanese princess soon-to-be empress because all the male heirs have died of disease and infertility a good scenario don't you think
1. California would have far less of an issue with water if they'd stop growing crops that require ludicrous amounts of water. 2. The religious divide within Islam reminds me of a protracted 30 Years war situation and makes unity a non-starter. 3. Well that's absolutely batshit crazy. 4. Honestly I expect India itself to fracture rather than a greater India coming to fruition. 5. Not much to say. Manchuria being independent would be similar to Burgandy becoming an independent state.
If you ever do another episode like this, you should really include a possible independent Texas. Overall I think its the most possible new country out of all the US states.
Cascadia forming following a breakup of the United States following political instability/civil war seems much more likely than the US just straight up letting California leave peacefully. I'm as left as they come and I'd fight them if they tried to leave the Union.
Well even being on the right I’d stand by you as well regardless of political party as them leaving would be the beginning of breaking the US and destroying what the US stand for unbiasedly. In the simple terms of it all. The USA no matter ideology, should always stay as 50 states even if we disagree.
@Monsieur Z I hope we can see your Rockwell/Malcom X video again, even if it's on another site like Rumble or Odysee, big fan and best wishes from the UK as always mate. 👏
Republicans oppress black people by existing. Democrats ippress black people by denying them help from police resulting in crime waves, encourage them to hate their families, abort their kids, study in school, and then promise them free goodies if they vote against the evil Republicans for existing.
what if george mcClellan won in 1864 What if Thomas E. dewey won in 1948 What if Gerald Ford won in 1976 what if george h w bush won in 1992 what if hubert humphrey won in 1968 what if andrew Jackson won in 1824
California succession is not happening. Now if the union fell completely apart like the old USSR did, THAT would be a bit different. I agree that water would be the biggest issue, I've been saying that for years. Teaming up with Oregon and Washington would be a smart move, not only because of the water issues being easier to deal with (although there is NO WAY those states would agree to earlier water rights the CA forced through), but because all of the west coast ports of entry would be in one new country, as well as into Canada. I could see Nevada joining up as well...perhaps Hawaii. Not Idaho or Arizona, tho BTW, California is currently the world's FOURTH largest economy...not the 8th.
It was very interesting to see all the possible countries and and which ones that were or were not more likely and to see the ups and downs. And it's kind of ironic for me considering I'm a Texan and definitely wanting Texas to become an independent country.
Texan independence is pretty popular even outside the USA as foreigners see a new economic and investor powerhouse in North America. Unfortunately, if the folk in Washington DC won’t let California easily it would be MUCH harder for Texas to break off knowing that guys like Peter Zeihan and even most news sites see Texas as a future economic powerhouse as if it isn’t already. Even both parties like the GOP and Democrat won’t ever let Texas go unfortunately.
Anyone have the source for CA being the “8th largest economy”? I know here in Texas we surpassed Brazil to grab #9 but I didn’t know CA had fallen down to 8. They used to be 5th as far as I’m aware.
The reason California will never be allowed to secede is because if it was legally established that states have that right then the entire former Confederacy would have grounds to sue the Federal Government.
What California has is geography. As in what can’t leave California. Agriculture, two major ports, gorgeous scenery and weather. What can go is the Top educators, scientists, the tech industry, light industry, the middle class. Moreover the regions of California are politically opposed and argue over water, taxes, morality, and ethnicity.
secession from the union is also illegal meaning that if the usa still exists and it is tried the us millitary will curbstomp an independent california
Scotland being independent is impossible. Even if the nation declares independence the Scottish government runs with the pledge that it would join the EU. They would have less freedoms than under the UK.
@@nobodyherepal3292 Texas as of now has economic alliances with Mexico and Finland. And if Texas where to be given a ranking of how business friendly/investment environment it would have it would very be much at the top. It’s highly decentralized for a U.S. state and has the closest thing to a Parliamentary government in the form of the local government systems of a council-managerial system.
@@elscorpioperfecto3260 and it would become an oligarchy controlled by its oil companies, tech companies, and probably quite a few of its mega-churches SO fast, it’s not even funny.
@@jeffkardosjr.3825 AND it would be hardline, meaning a return of industrial planning and the growth of the Soviet economy which had stagnated to some degree under Brezhnev
I'd say that California becoming an Empire in the West coast is likely in the event of an American Civil War, is would be Nu Afrika. The Islamic Caliphate, however, is totally impossible given the potential collapse of the religion in the following decades, which will happen due to many young Muslims leaving the religion and opting instead for liberalism.
Having done a video of the most unlikely new countries, how about the most likely new countries? Or at least a Part 2? Or in a similar style, amongst the remaining Commonwealth Realms, which are most likely or least likely to abolish the monarchy and become republics, similar to Barbados's recent transition in 2021? Ex. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Belize, etc...
No, it doesn’t matter how many states you get involved the government of the United States, especially with its command over the most powerful military in the world would probably shut any secessionist movements down pretty fucking quick. It is an empire after all.
Independence and unity can be achieved with this approach: The rules by the central government become automatically valid (=unity), and if there is a conflict then local entities (about the size of 10k-100k inhabitants) have the legal right to opt out of unwanted rules (=independence) while still remaining part of the whole. It just needs to be defined how the process of opting out is to be (e.g. local referendum) and which topics cannot be opted out (probably in the beginning of such an opt-out law some in the central government are too afraid of too much leniency, and the first version of such an opt-out law has many exceptions which cannot be opted out upon).
I like your thoughts of what could have happened. So I have two ideas for you. one more recent than the other. First, what if the Tokugawa Shogunate survived and prospered. And second, what if Nixion had never brought capitalism to China?
For New Africa I think it is more likely that Africa will build itself up and be more economically stable and strong that the blacks in America and other countries that don't like white people can move there. I think both sides of the political parties in the U.S would go for this.
It is impossible. The British army was larger than the entire male Zulu population. And only 35% of the Zulu male population had any degree of military training. The Zulu military is vastly outnumbered, and slow due to being entirely on foot in rough terrain. The British would be able to replace any lost force long before the Zulus can exploit any victory. Now consider everyone in South africa hated the zulus (due to the Zulu's genocidal history) and were allied to the British during the war, and the back tribes especially hated the Zulu. The Zulu are not getting support (and likley will face opposition from the black populations in British territory). And that's before we look at the fact the Zulu were massecured in every battle they fought, even the 1 they won. By much smaller armies. The Zulu would ahve a hard time dealing with the Natal colonie, who dwarfed them in size. Let alone the rest of British South Africa. And that's assuming they can actually defeat the British field armies. Which they historically didn't even come close to...
@@matthiuskoenig3378 u make some very compelling points but with Cetshwayo being the leader of the Zulu during the first Anglo- Zulu war, he beat out the far more technologically superior British in the first invasion. But yes the full British army is bigger than the Zulu forces, but they never sent out the full army because they were too preoccupied with other things such as colonizing other random ass country’s. The second Zulu invasion was almost never launched because the British were busy doing colonizer things. But I understand what u saying and appreciate u adding to the discussion that hopefully become a full length video
"The Zulus knock back the British for a second time but at heavy loses. The British sends arms to the Zulu's neighbors in an attempt to weaken the region by plunging it into mass amounts of conflicts. The Zulus overwhelmed begins to fracture and get swallowed up by their neighbors. The Zulus aren't remembered for being excellent fighters but rather another genocidal tribe that just happened to beat back the British.
With the collapse of the United States happening as we speak I’m able to say that Independent California is a plausible scenario, alongside Texas as a country with its old land being returned to it and the Confederacy also unifying again. It’s not a matter of if Texas becomes a country but when.
Texas would definitely have to fight a war to get its Republic-era land back. I don’t know if they’re that concerned about sparsely populated deserts and mountains, unless they just want Denver and ski resorts that badly.
1. A Stormcloak Skyrim 2. Independent New Vegas MonsieurZ liked my comment on mu original one but after editing it to add another one on the list removed the heart lol (didn't know that) to protect the content creator i guess.
5:58 I actually designed an alternate Orwell 1984 map that has a large Islamic state as a 4th superstate. So in that world the earth is divided by Oceania, Eurasia, East Asia, & the Islamic Caliphate. This would actually make their interstate fighting more fair since its always 2 on 2 & create a more plausible world map. There have been several historical empires that covered the middle east & north africa.
Manchuria? That sound history-ish, to average Chinese people, like is something been existing long time ago. Chinese people normally call that part of the territory “Dongbei” which means the “Northeast”. Northeasterners, in Chinese people’ sanity, are never consider minor ethnic groups, people automatically assumes they are Han…Manchurians are sinolized, is like the Komi population to the Russians, what’s the difference? Btw if you’ve seen the CCP propaganda a film called wolf warrior, the protagonist, a soldier of the PLA special force, called Lengfeng, his actor Wu Jing is a Manchurian, with a petty Beijingnese accent
11:40 Some more caveats for the (dys)functionality of a new Raj The separatist movements of Kashmir, Khalistan, the threat posed by Naxalites, as well as the ethnoreligious tensions really make it a mess to keep India together, let alone expand the federation. The Two State compromise really did mess everything up. Mountbatten really did more harm than good.
An independent Manchuria would be impossible since Russia & China are the biggest threats. Also, Mongolia may not be as accommodating. And let's not forget the possibility of North Korea still being a threat to Asian stability.
There’s no chance of a Pacific States of America same as Scotland and Quebec but conjoined governing bodies in the mainland derived from Congress has historical precedence (whether we like it or not). The costs of this to other states though is sketchy if I’m being honest. If California, Oregon, Nevada and Washington had a single state government and thus equal representation in Congress what would happen to Alaska and Hawaii? Would they devolve into exploitable colonies? What does the EU do to avoid this? What about mainland states with the same population problem like West Virginia? Could it be reabsorbed into Virginia proper? Should it be, considering the reason for its existence? Is it safe to put that cause in the past? because I don’t get that impression; then again it certainly isn’t the WV it was then.
I don’t think Myanmar is ever seriously talked about as being part of the Indian subcontinent. More likely Mizoram, Manipur and Nagaland would join Myanmar (or being taken) than Myanmar being part of India.
I live in South Carolina and I’m not against black folks having self determination as long as everyone involved realizes there will be population transfers and a painful transition logistically
BEEN A LONG TIME YPLOADED WHAT IF REPUBLIC OF VERMOUNT STAY INDEPENDENT ]WHAT IF THE LIBERIA NEVER HAS CIVIL WAR WHAT IF AM NOT GOING TO DOWNLOAD USELESS APPS
Lmao "Tamil South and Hindu North".... It's like if i were talking of Europe saying "the italian South and the Christian North"... I think you meant the Dravidian south and the Indo-European (or Indo-Aryan) North, two distinct family languages that indeed culturally divide India. Tamil is just one of the Dravidian languages (although it's maybe the most influential of them). And Hindu(ism) is religion spreading all over India, oven mistaken with Hindi which is indeed one of the major languages of the Indo Aryan family
Well, if Pakistan collapses which I don't find unlikely, its Baloch and Pashtun regions will go their own ways. Pashtuns joining Afghanistan or maybe its Pashtun regions since Afghanistan may collapse as well. Balochs will either remain independent, join Iran or form Greater Balochistan with the Baloch regions of Iran and Afghanistan depending on the situation. This the disputed regions of Kashmir that India may annex, Plus Sind and Punjab that may become independent nations that would be close to India. If India itself survives, I can see Sind, Punjab, Bangladesh and maybe even Sri Lanka and Nepal from a sort of EU like structure with India and eventually, political union. It would take a long time, maybe a century but it could happen.
