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'd probably take the Western Seaboard from the USA and Canada, so California, Oregon, Washington, whichever province Vancouver is in, and Alaska, and form a new country out of that.
Might fuck around and take Nevada, too, because nobody's using it. And also that tiny little dangly bit of Mexico just under California that's like a little peninsula.
While I'm at it, I'll take the top leg of Idaho also, just because nobody's using it.
