@@Darium147 Point about Westphalia is that it shows how arbitrary and superficial most modern states are (UK being good example). Whereas pan-continental hegemonic power structures are as old as civilization, and as equally unavoidable. So you might as well have a seat at the table...

@@tobymaltby6036 I like pan continental idea with former ethnic bodies/states seated at a sort of house of commons but with Swiss Canton,s like powers.

@@lawrencefox563 I could live with that. For instance, in Britain, we would go back to the old cantons we had prior to about 950AD, such as Mercia, Wessex, etc. This would mean areas such as Wales and Scotland would not be hugely outnumbered. It would, of course, mean the end of the United Kingdom. Which I think is now not unlikely anyway....

@Kyro Byis Think about it: Russia plus a full continent; all that territory under one government. Doesn’t that seem slightly unnerving to you? Especially the way some of these countries are headed & how easily corrupted that government might be.

@Kyro Byis Even without Russia it’s unsettling. Even America’s not that vast.

@@matthewheald8964 Interesting point. Although I doubt Russia would even be included. Last I checked, there were also plenty of ways to counter corruption. But besides corruption, what exactly would be so bad about a single European government?

@Kyro Byis First of all, when he talks about Europe becoming a country, I think of all of Europe instead of just EU territory, so given the fact that he covers several other outlandish & impossible country unions in his other videos I decided to at least address that possibility. In case it wasn’t clear (& I apologize if I did not make it so), the possibility for corruption was something I foresee in any possible union of the proposed nature. Second, there are measures against corruption, but they are not infallible (as an American, the current level of corruption in my country is appalling, despite all the checks & balances our founders put in place), & if the European government went rogue, I think it would be a huge threat to the world. I have no idea how we all stay alive with Russia & China in existence, but Europe, Russia, & China sounds like 1984. Aside from all that, the whole plan involves dozens of European countries sacrificing their national sovereignty, which does not sound like the best choice for them. The EU is one thing, but the full merging of those countries is another, especially with all the countries that don’t really like each other like Netherlands & Belgium, & Serbia & Kosovo. That among other factors would make a complete union difficult if not impossible & certainly (I believe) unbeneficial for all involved.

He said they're hypothetical and unlikely 10:45

I'd say the most likely to join in the near future is Scottland but seing how UK's situation is actually, i dont think they will let them have indepence any time soon as the last thing they need right now is the UK starting to dissunite itself

I agree!

A fraction of the population? Well, 100%, 50% and 0% are all fractions so saying independentists are just a fraction of the population is the same as saying nothing. We have to look at the latest results in both Catalonia-wide and local elections (a lot of independentists usually abstain in the Spanish elections so they are always turn out to be under-represented in them) to get an idea of how many independentists are there in Barcelona city. Yeah, I know next February 14th there will be new elections and soon we will have new data to work with but for the time being the information we have is: Results of the city of Barcelona in the last Catalan elections (December 21st, 2017): Total votes cast: 910,133 Independentist parties (JxCat + ERC + CUP): 418,466 votes (45.98%) Unionist parties (C's + PSC + PP): 397,190 votes (43.64%) Neutral parties (ECP + PACMA + Verds): 94,477 (10.38%) Results of the city of Barcelona in the last local elections (May 26th, 2019): Total votes cast: 751,370 Indepedentist parties (ERC + JxCat + CUP + Primàries): 297,512 (39,60%) Unionist parties (C's + PSC + PP + VOX): 284,710 (37.89%) Neutral parties (ECP + PACMA + Other minor parties with less than 1000 votes each): 169,148 (22.51%) So there you are. I could look into the details of the last Spanish elections as well and we would most likely get a similar picture but as I said before, since a lot of independentists prefer to abstain in the Spanish elections, we would get a skewed representation of independentism's reality anyways, while the Catalan and local elections are much better at representing independentism, which is what we are talking about here. And what we see here is that in one election independentists are 45.98% of the voters in Barcelona city alone and in the other we get a 39.60% of the turnover. So according to the latest results independentists are somewhere between 39% and 46% of Barcelona's population. Certainly in the minority but far from a small minority. And when we consider the other two blocks of Catalan politics (unionists and neutrals) we see that independentists always happen to be the block that gets more votes out of the three blocks. That's noteworthy none the least. Note on the neutral parties: ECP is by far the largest neutral party (in each election it represents more than 90% of each neutral vote cast so speaking of the neutrals is basically speaking about ECP's stance). ECP supports the independentists in acknowledging that a self-determination referendum is necessary and that supporting independence may be seen as reasonable. Their official stanceof the party however is that they support the self-determination referendum along the other independentist parties but that they prefer voting no to independence and rather focus on changing the status quo in the whole of Spain (a referendum on the Third Spanish Republic or an Iberian federation are also some of their proposals). So while some of ECP's voters would certainly vote independence in an independence referendum, others would certainly vote for union so how many voters of ECP would vote independence and how many would vote union in a binary referendum remains a mistery.

@Svensk Drama 3 Basically because when people want to disregard something they are either against of or simply don't care about that much they simply say "that's nothing but a fraction/few people out there/just a bunch of radicals/etc." and they proceed to completely ignore reality. You can clearly see this attitude everywhere and this keeps us from having truly productive conversations. The most blatant examples of this I see in the Western world being desregarding relatively weird elements from Asian cultures. Chinese characters? Just weird writting system... That is used by nearly 2 billion people on a daily basis. Dharma? Just a weird religious concept... that all buddhists, hindus and jainists (that's nearly 1.8 billion people) believe in and regulate their lifes according to it. You see? It's not that I join the Western-civilization-bashing crowd (actually I hate that and I actually love and admire the incredible achievements of my civilization) or that I am unable to understand the cultural relativism that leads Westerners to see the aforementioned phenomena as 'weird'. It's just that I hate the typical discussion where nobody pays attention to facts and reality and they just throw some cultural conventions to it. You see? People disregard the topic saying 'Catalan independentists are just a fraction of the population of Catalonia and Barcelona' and that's it, and they keep having the exact same ideas they had before the conversation even started and all because their cultural framework leads them to think so. But now with my data they can clearly see that independentists happen to be a fraction...of somewhere between 39% to 46% of Barcelona's population (about 48% of Catalonia's population if you look at a Catalonia-wide scale). Now they can challenge themselves and ask themselves how many major cities in the world have about 40% of its population wanting to secede. Now they can ask themselves why independentists, while being a minority, happen to be more people than unionists judging by the results. Do you understand now? I'm sick and tired of people just throwing their misinformed opinions and their on-line tantrums where a discussion is supposed to take place. Bring challenging facts to discussion. Force them to re-evaluate their ideas.

As far as French DOM are concerned they decided through referenda to become integral part of France. In fact the most recent one is Mayotte. In 2009 more than 95% of the people from Mayotte voted to become a new department of France.

Question is: When that part of the austrian constitution was written, did they intend it to mean that they cannot be part of any larger political unit that happens to include germany too?

They wouldn't be like that, for 3 reasons: -UES would be democratic, those two weren't. - States in UES would be much more equal, it wouldn't be Austrian or Serb hegemony like in those 2 mentioned (by that I mean states would have a veto power etc. There would be weaker and stronger states, but not to the point of hegemony) -Participation would be voluntary, thus secessions wouldn't cose wars (like austro-hangarian war or Yugoslavian dissolution war).

Austria-Hungary didn’t listen to smaller nations who lived in it. For example Slovenians were split between four provinces. Only German and Hungarian were the official languages. For Yugoslavia, Serbia wanted to have more and more control over other republics and it was communist

I also think such an action would bring further tensions to our relation with Poland. The US might also wanna put all their NATO missiles there which means that the US would "annoy" Germany and then Germany might annoy the US by not agreeing and so on. I guess Germany would rather take some small remote and uninhabited island in the Pacific instead of Kaliningrad. (Even thouh that would be an enclave with a even larger distance - but at least most other countries woudn't care and we would have some tropical place for vacation.)

I red that the population of really Kaliningrad doesn't like Putin and his isolationist policies, so that enclave is considered the weak point of Russia.

Wow this is a very different mindset than in Spain. I think Spain should try some federalism themselves.

Yeah, Bavaria wouldnt leave germany behind, we just want to rant about our differences. (Etwas granteln muss sein)

True. The year before unification it was actually discussed, because the Bavarian government was afraid of the costs coming up back then. But they figured leaving Germany would be really stupid from an economic point of view.

@@ElyOmar I think you should invest time into analysing the currents of separatism. Federalism in a equally distributed wealth scenario is a good thing and probably will allow for local solutions to local problems all the while still encouraging synergy effects by galvanizing resources in national policies. Federalism in a mal distributed wealth scenario however encourage local ambitions to go separate furthermore. There are also ethnic issues. Bavarians are different in many aspects but they aren't speaking a complete other language (at least they understand High German, even if other way around is not so), therefore don't have as much of an issue that their kids are thought in another dialect than their local one. Catalonia or Basque however are more distinct as far as I know. And the wealth isn't distributed equal here either. If East Germany was richer than the West I definitely believe they would have stayed independent, but this wasn't the case of course and to this day the rest of Germany is paying for their development.

@@minzblatt At Catalans speak Castillian. They all do. Basque people I understand, because it is not a "spanish" language. But Catalans just like Galicians Andalusians etc. are all Spanish without exception. Cataluña as a country is nothing more than pipe dream.

@@elseggs6504 Russia, hahahaha. Thanks for that joke, you made my day better. Wish you and the Russians the best!

its not just republic of srpska in bosnia, there is also ilirida in north macedonia, its majority populated by albanians and in macedonia there are estimated 900k albanians out of 2M total population of the country so as you said if kosovo and albania unite which may happen republic of sprska would want independance or unification with serbia and then ilirida would want the same then croats in bosnia aswell and shit gonna go to another balkan war.

@@gigasigma8373 then you'd also have Serbs resisting in the North. Its more likely to have the United States hand over Boston to Canada, which is definetly not gonna happen.

@@charlyroadmolko8090 that depends who you ask

@@bramsturk619 This kind of asociation that is putting the EU is more about dissapear the sovereignty and independence of each country member...Rather the EU should stop to be a Political union...The EU is a club only....Britain will not be the only after we will see countries as Poland, Hungary, Denmark or Italy doing the same...

@@charlyroadmolko8090 I understand you dont like the political aspect of the union, that is fine. But with economics comes politics, and the union isnt going anywhere. Denmark and Italy will never leave the union out of economic reasons, and their people do not want to leave the union. And poland and hungary are to weak on their own. And again, hungary not sure, but the poles definatly do not want to leave the union

@@bramsturk619 I have said that the EU should be reformed for union more economic than a Political union because in the economic aspect is good but in the Political way is bad....An union more free based on cooperation and friendship respecting the Sovereignthy and laws of each country....The EU is forgetting that is a Economic bloc, not a United States of Europe....The EU must change only...

Plus theres the treaty of Utrecht. Gibraltar cannot be independent. It has to be Spanish or British.

@@Chrischi3TutorialLPs Yes. I don’t see them going to Spain. They have their own unique identity the Gibraltarians.

@@Chrischi3TutorialLPs Surely Spanish politicians prefer Gibraltar became an independent micro state like Andorra rather than have it remain a self governing British territory. If Spain wants that, they can agree to forgo their right to claim Gibraltar if Britain gives up sovereignty.

@@cricketman1322 Gibraltar stronk

@@Dave_Sisson I don't think a fully independent Gibraltar is all that useful to Spain even if it were legally possible. It may even make things worse diplomatically. At least at the moment Spain is still able to earn global sympathy points by claiming Gibraltar is an indignation inflicted on the Spanish people by an unrepentant, Imperialist Britain (being careful not to mention Ceuta of course). It's an argument that works surprisingly well. However if Gibraltar were an independent microstate, Spain's constant pressure tactics would start to look not like standing up to an old imperialist, but like a bunch of bullies picking on the little guy. All that said, I'm British but I've personally nothing against the idea of power sharing between Britain and Spain. It really makes no difference to me either way. But if the Gibraltarians say no to that, then it's their call. If they ever voted to return to Spain, then they go with my blessing at least. Weirdly, Gibraltar has now been British longer than it was Spanish. The Spanish captured it from the Moors in 1462, and lost it to Britain in 1713. That makes 251 years. Britain held it from 1713 to the present date making 307 years.
