As far as I know, a lot of Koreans would theoretically like the countries to be united again, but realize it won't be practical for a long time. South Korea consider all North Koreans as citizens of South Korea so any North Korean that goes manages to get to the South have full the South Korean citizenship rights. North Korea constantly propagandizes about unification - but under North Korean rule which obviously isn't acceptable to South Korea.

Did we manage it on our own in the 90's when Russia invaded us and took part of our country? No. Meanwhile Romania has extremely powerful friends (strategic partnership with Washington, NATO member and EU member, good friend of Poland and Turkey) and a fastly growing medium sized army which includes modern fighterjets, HIMARS and Patriot missiles. Not to mention Romania literally fought a world war for us (my maramureșean ancestors all fought on the eastern front for Bessarabia, at Stalingrad and Crimea).

The citizens of Micronesia and the Marshall Islands would never agree to being joined to the Solomon Islands or other poor island nations in their vicinity. They'd lose that special status with the U.S., which gives them the opportunity to become U.S. citizens incredibly easily. It's like a special fast-track process that only they get. That's a golden ticket out. Citizens in those countries don't want to lose their golden tickets if they can help it.

Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and Palau are in free association with the US, which makes them arguably the 'most dependent', or 'least sovereign' countries in the world among all UN member states. They should have been definitely included in this video.

Much more likely the the 3 US associated states would join the US with Guam and Northern Marianas as a future state than to ever merge with another country - especially the Solomon Islands.

True. We just let them exist.

Yeah, but South Africa doesn't want either one of them anymore. That and the fact that South Africa itself is still threatening to dissolve as a nation really kills any chance of expansion.

@@DTD110865 I doubt South Africa will stop existing as a South African myself. People look at an ethnic map and assume we all just hate each other over here when that's not the case. I just came back from the store right now and the outside world is much more different from what the internet tries to portray the country as. There were two women who were friends speaking to each other in their own respective language Sotho and Zulu and they understood each other's languages. A group of 4 guys in front of me at the line 2 of them were white and 2 of them where black all came back from skateboarding to buy something to drink and having fun. It's not really the case from my day to day experience to think that people here just hate each other. It's mostly just the media and politicians who try to stoke artificial differences for their own benefit. On the question of Lesotho and eSwatini, our government doesn't want to absorb them. They kinda just let them exist and they're fine with that. An invasion is far from likely too as we wouldn't gain anything economically aside from just water from Lesotho. Plus they would be a burden on local tax payers. If both countries were incorporated they would be the poorest provinces and some of the least populated. From a cultural point of view yes it does make sense to incorporate them as there are more Sotho here than in Lesotho and more Swati here than eSwatini and both groups speak languages that are mutually intelligible with most of our languages as well. It's also important to add that Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe as well have similar peoples as ours. But any effort for unification would have to wait cause we have our own problems right now.

Agree

The relationship between Thailand and Laos is like that of Switzerland and Germany. There used to be another country, Lanna, in northern Thailand, and Central Thailand was called Siam. Siam took over Lanna and part of Laos. The Lao, Central Thai, and northern Thai languages are all similar to each other.

Leve België, vive la Belgique :)

Because it's a river. You wouldn't say "seine" or "Volga" you'd say "the Volga" etc

@@Kmc1qlAq8Dt6tpVC In reference to the river itself sure you'd use that nomenclature however, not the name of the country itself. We'll use the two examples you put forth, you wouldn't say the Seine in the France or the Volga in the Russia now would you? However, in this nations case it would be The Gambia (the river) in The Gambia (the nation) it doesn't quite make sense now does it? That is why I was questioning why not drop the "The" from the country name and just refer to it as the Republic of Gambia (or Gambia in the shorthand) rather what it is currently called the Republic of The Gambia (or Gambia in the shorthand) the "The" in the country name is superfluous, seems other people understood my meaning tho it appeared to fly over your head.

@@HypnoticChronic1 the gambia country literally the gambia river. A lot of country's have "the" prefixes, eg The Netherlands. It is not correct in english to just say "netherlands". Same with how in the western world Ukraine is historically called "the Ukraine", becuause "Ukraine" in most slavic languages means "borderland", so "the borderland". "The Sudan" is the official name for sudan - now that's a little less known because sudan in arabic literally just means "black", and "the black" obviously doesn't make any sense unless its just talking about the people of sudan, who are black. Then there's "The Lebanon", because the Lebanon is a mountain chain after which the country gets its name. In the case of lebanon and ukraine these aren't that well used anymore though. In French as well you have "La France" ("The France") etc etc,

@@Kmc1qlAq8Dt6tpVC Notice how many of those countries that do use the "the" prefix are plural in name and not singular in their official titles? The United States of America, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, The Kingdom of the Netherlands etc. versus the "the" just being additive in the titles so its grammatically correct when its singular, the Republic of Singapore, the Argentine Republic, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia etc. while conversely we still use the "the" in the shorthand in regards to the plural nations the US, the UK, the Netherlands etc. but we do not use it in the shorthand for the singulars, Singapore, Argentina, Saudi Arabia etc. why? Because its redundant and unnecessary, Gambia works just as well grammatically in English (which is their official language) as The Gambia and the only reason its even there in the first place is due to the name being a holdover from Portuguese and the Brits just kept it. Suffice to say it need not be there and would still work in a functional sentence for example "have you seen what happened in Gambia?" see still works perfectly fine without the "the" that is the main crux of my argument.

As a Dutch man, better yet a Hollander, I also distance myself from any resemblance to the Flemish.

this is double dutch to me@@Seba_ntn

Yeah local Dutch dialects lol These regions were also not united since Roman or Frankish times in any sense aside from belonging to the same political entities. Like the transition period from Rome to Frankish is especially weird to bring up as the Franks and their settlement are the reason half the country speaks Dutch. And they weren’t united in any way during the middle ages. The unity of the region comes with the Burgundians and Charles the Vth who creates the notion of the Low-Countries. And you can then say that some unity existed between Dutch and French speaking Belgium since the Unie van Atrecht (basically the Catholic-protestant split) and later as Austrian Habsburg possessions. However Flanders and the Netherlands are closely linked even during this period. Antwerp was a center of the Protestant reformation and one of the major Protestant cities. It isn’t until Antwerp is sacked and people flee north that Amsterdam becomes the leading Protestant stronghold. And on top of that the Flemish traders also brought a lot of wealth to the city, which until that point was actually the main Catholic city in Holland

@seanbaggen2656 You are quite right to say that talking about the Roman and Frankish empires (Carolingian as well as Merovingian) as the origins of Belgium proper is an exaggeration. During these periods the territories were part of the same whole, of course, but they were so decentralised and diverse that you can't really consider them to be united. I chose to mention them more to recall a part of history that is rarely mentioned but whose foundations enabled Belgium to emerge much later. Without the Romans and Germanic migration, we wouldn't have a Latinised south and a Germanised north, just Celts. Similarly, without the Frankish empires, there would have been no feudal system and therefore no county of Flanders or Hainaut or duke of Brabant or Burgundy. I completely agree that the Burgundians were the first to really create the concept of the Low-Contries and the first to really separate the region from France and the Holy Empire. In my opinion, the religious wars that followed the Protestant reformation are the source of the division between Belgium and the Netherlands, which would otherwise have remained united. However, religious and governmental differences gradually drove the 2 countries apart for almost 2 centuries before they once again unite in 1815. However, what many people tend to forget is that a country is not defined solely by its language. Just because a country doesn't have its own national language doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. Switzerland and Austria are no less legitimate countries than Belgium.

@@axome235 But without the Frankish migration the Netherlandds wouldn’t exist either Of course, but they are still “Dutch” or rather Nederlandse/Nederfrankische dialects. Just like how Austrians speak German. Just because the Netherlands is called the Netherlands doesn’t mean it has a monopoly on the term for the language. And in fact Flanders and the Netherlands share the language institute that decides on the language, so this is also reflected in reality

What matters is now not centuries ago... You don't live in the past ? Do you ? Or maybe you are 600 years old... When close neighbours speak the same language, share the same artists, watch mostly the same tv series, have a common litterature, spend their hollidays in the same places... A Liégeois is closer to Paris than a Brestois, Niçois or Basque is ! But if you are unhappy with that you can still ask for French to be banned from Belgium and replaced by Walloon or English.

Which one ?

@@lioneldemun6033 Most of the Dutch have a protestant background (apart from some provinces in the South that actually used to be part of Greater Belgium). The Dutch have a completely different food culture and fill in their traditions in a very different way (look for example at Sinterklaas, which is celebrated on a different day and in a different way). The French have an enormous country, so saying we are more like the French is like saying we are more like the Polish or the Danes. We might culturally resemble a bit more to the north of France, but then again we have different food cultures and different celebrations. Nevertheless, within the same country, the food we eat is very similar, the celebrations are similar and social conducts are more or less the same. I saw someone claiming that politically we vote differently, but if you separate all countries where the poorer regions vote more left and the richer regions vote more right, I think you can literally separate any country. The claim that our country has to split is spread by extreme right parties, but doesn't have enough support within the country itself.

In Europe as a whole, country borders are not cultural at all anymore and are just political. You can cross the border and only the infrastructure would change. Basicaly the same people and sometimes even the same language. As someone from Noord-Brabant I have way more in commom with people from Antwerpen or Leuven than with people from Leeuwarden or Groningen. So advocating for the erasure of a country for cultural reasons is dumb. The only thing that is broken about belgium is the national government.
