    Default How about a Romance Union?

    The languages are common, the peoples are too common (with Romania the exception to this rule), and thus there should be a union of Romance nations.

    You appear to have included part of Croatia, as well as the whole of Belgium.

    If it only includes European Romance-speakers, then sure why not

    Istria and parts of Dalmatia are Romance and so is Greater Wallonia i.e. Belgium.

    To be honest, it's just something of a romantic notion, in my opinion.

    Northern Belgium speaks Dutch.

    Of course.
    Dalmatia was inhabited by romance populations like dalmatians and italians until 1898 (or 1945, if you prefer).

    Wallonia in this one is irredentist hence Greater Wallonia.

    but you should put out in this case central romania (only hungarians there), northern romania (only ukrainians there), sudtirol (only germans there) and i think other regions too. plus, there is nothing romance left in the ex-yugoslavia. transdnestr region in moldova is russian/ukrainian, there is also the gagauzia republic in southern moldova.

    i don't think a romance union would be a good idea. good ideas would be racial hygiene, better education, better public healthcare, lower criminality, more support for the research and a much more united europe, also less ignorant westerners and less barbarian easterners

    Surely by including subdivisions of other countries, the parts of one's own countries that don't speak a Romance language should be excluded, such as the Basque region.
