Ignoring the massive cost, legal hurdles, and the opinion of the residents/government/outside powers, if you could magically grant independence to certain territories or form new bigger nations from existing ones with no repercussions to yourself, what new countries would you create?
Please treat this as a non-serious post, let’s not get into a massive political debate, those never end well.
I was going to answer that Mexico as it once was, from current US southern states to Panama. Then, the northern US states, Canada, and Alaska could be their own tranquil cold lands.
Maybe even a division by old territories and languages so that Bolivar’s dream came true. From old Mexico (New Spain) to Cape Horn (or whatever the southernmost point lies). I cannot say that country would have been better than the USA (in terms of atrocities, wars, etc.), but I’m still curious.
Also, Brazil not imposing Portuguese to their citizens. They used to speak a criolle language, if I remember correctly. If a kind Brazilian reads this, maybe they can correct and explain it.
