Breaking up your country

[Äijä]

How many independent countries or autonomous regions that have a ethnocultural history as distinct entity can you create from your country?

Not talking about economic viability, that is largely subjective and debatable.
I am an advocate of the Swiss model direct democracy and part of it is giving more power to the regional level.






Finland has an historical West-East divide and modern divide with the Metropolitan Toontown.

These are best suited as autonomous regions, not as sovereign countries.

The Sami, unlike many think, dont have a case even for much autonomy, maybe a small a reservation and a casino, money is their main interest anyways.

[Smaug]

Two or three.

Two or three.

Countries or autonomy in your opinion?

On what do you base this opinion?

Not that I think it would really have any point for them to have autonomy.

There is only one region where certain groups put real efforts to alienate it from he rest of the country. But it's leaders seem more like a proxy of Kremlin's aspirations to create a frozen zone similar to Transnistria and South Ossetia. It's unlikely it would secede, but the direction of influence is very clear neverthless.

Countries or autonomy in your opinion?

Countries in my opinion. The southern half of the country is very different from the rest under a cultural point of view.

Not that I think it would really have any point for them to have autonomy.

These are the historical ones (the grey borders) and they would make good Cantons.
Helsinki on its own naturally.

Oh, sorry, you quoted only the Sami part, well their claims are more more becoming debunked.

Specify.

[Äijä]

Specify.

That they are more aboriginal than the rest of the population or that they have ancient land holdings they can claim back.
