[@Arms.Enthusiast]

Generic Asian Boi bordergore is a piece of terminology used by people who spend a lot of time looking at maps both fictional, real, and historical. To describe borders which are not considered aesthetically pleasing, or are otherwise highly unusual or “disgusting”. For an extreme example I encourage you to look up “long Czechoslovakia” as it will show you one example of bordergore.

[@Pidalin]

Polish weather like British? You have normal continental weather - hot summers and cold winters. In the UK they have absolutely different weather. In central Europe you can have 35°C in summer and -20°C in winter in some regions and you have much more sunny days than UK. Even than we (Czech Republic) we have steel sky half of year. :-D

Hmm. It'd be nice for the UK to move closer to Portugal and Spain, but I'm pretty sure us Scots wouldn't be able to cope with the heat xD

No, we wouldnae xD

[@apudharald2435]

Not too many worries. Tell the suspiciously Oiky Glaswegians to start speaking like the Highlanders or the Orkney folk, and Scots can come chill with Scandinavians in the Bothnian Gulf.

[@aitortilla5128]

+PompeiiProductions As a Spaniard I'd prefer if the Scots and Irish move close to us and the English move a few km to the north until they collapse with the North Pole.

Really interesting to see a video from 2010 splitting apart Ukraine in two separate countries. It puts perspective to the current crisis

[@milanvvv]

themeiafy Well Russia is coming in, so you can say goodbye to Donetsk, Luhansk and other southeastern parts of former ukraine.

[@themeiafy]

***** You speak as though you know their plans. Sure, they can try to occupy Eastern Ukraine if they want, or Poland or Finland for that matter, but that would be an occupation, not "a split". When they show it as if whole Russian-speaking Eastern Ukraine dreams of joining Russia that's very offensive and simply not true.
