        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.

          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

        China and India are about right, Japan’s south of Taiwan, Vietnam is labeled South Korea, all the other islands are “you get the idea” squiggles. The rest is a wash. Anyone who remembers the Philippines is in the Armed Forces. Anyone who can place Thailand encrypts their hard drive.
