        Nobody’s asking anyone to draw a map from memory. They’re asking a news channel to put in the 5 seconds of googling it takes to procure an accurate map.

        Basically China, India and Japan with a Vietnam somewhere but they don’t want to talk about it.

          No american knows India is in Asia. They think Asia is just south east Asia. I’ll allow that for the Brits tho

        China, India, Vietnam, Russia, Australia.

        Probably Japan.

        Maybe Tibet. Maybe Pakistan. Not sure about Afghanistan.

        Australia would include Papua, Vietnam would get the rest of Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Myanmar, you name it. It was a big war, must’ve been a big place. Who even knows what countries are there? It’s like the Balkans of Asia. India would look mostly the same, a bit bigger.

        If Pakistan is included it probably would include Afghanistan as Afganistan is definitely in the Middle East and not in Asia, but Pakistan (If they remember it, with the weird border ritual video that became so popular) is so closely associated with India that there’s a chance it’s included. Maybe India gets Pakistan while Pakistan ends up around Iran.

        China gets a lot of Kazakhstan, all of Mongolia and some of Russia. It’s possible some random chunk of western China gets the name Tibet. Russia stays mostly the same, whether they or China get the Korean peninsula is a toss-up. There’s a decent chance the Russian border just gets moved way north.

        Depending on who you ask, Korea might also be included as it’s own thing. But it might end up in a weird place like Vladivostok, the Kola peninsula, or some place in China.

        There’s a decent chance they know most of the main islands of Japan and it ends up looking a little cursed but mostly in the right place. I’m thinking it would either stop short of Hokkaido or seize Sakhalin.

        Central Asia doesn’t exist.

          That’s cool and all, but if we’re directly correlating this, then I think it would be more like you drawing out the provinces in China or India.

          China I could maybe get Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, Tibet kinda right, I’d try to get Guangdong, Szechuan and Xi’an, the rest I’m screwed (Heibei maybe? Guangzhou? Idfk). Perhaps I’d be better to stick to the 3 kingdoms.

          India I’m much more screwed. Kashmir, North India, South India, Delhi, something called Gujurat maybe, Bengal, Pashtun?, Bombay, Goa? Throw the Ganges somewhere in there in the North and East…a desert in the west, North and South Mountains that are not called mountains? Now that I’m thinking about it, I’d probably draw it out as Kashmir, that big strip that hugs the Ganges and Himalayas where Delhi is, and Texas.

                  I do want to hear the difference between #FreeTibet and #FreeCaledonia and all other separatist movements. Hell even, #FreetheAmericaFromTheEuropeans

                    If you think I’m going to take Israel’s side just to give a contradiction you’re wrong

                    I support Scotland but I realize the biggest push in the movement is Russia trying to fracture their enemies (same with anti-EU sentiment that Scotland is not part of)

                    Tibet doesn’t give China that support. Of note as well is the prevalence of Scottish flags to Tibet flags. A unicode example 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿vs no result. A stock photo in front of parliament and you show me a Tibetan flag at The Great Hall

                    I think Catalonia has a right to independence but like Scotland to England. An independent Catalonia should ally with Spain

                    You can’t make the argument that China needs Tibet to stand up to America or India. You could make the argument that China needs an independent/neutral Tibet to act as a buffer to India. Much like they need DPRK to act as a buffer between ROK

                    Most of the Americas are independent from Europe so I am not sure on your argument there but native nations should be elevated from their current status

                    If breaking up Myanmar stops the junta’s genocide then it should happen

                    Quebec’s separatist movement doesn’t have the backing of the people (their votes keep failing) but if we assume they are fixed then yeah Quebec should be independent however even that movement still wants to keep it’s current ties to Canada

                    All those Russian provinces that voted for independence should be allowed to leave

                    There are way too many independence movements to list them all but if you have any more you want specifics on feel free to ask
