I liked "Jewish Republic of Turkey", myself.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

I love how there's a North and South Serbia, neither of which have any overlap with actual Serbia. Because Kosovo runs it.

Also, New Colorado (Lux) splitting Norway and Sweden down the middle.

Also what happens after Putin dies, there are only so many times you can replace him with a double

Since we're already in full shitpost territory, here's an answer from the Russian /pol/ (or /po/, as it is called on Russian imageboards):

Make the Vatican independent of Rome and include Sealand

I stand corrected, actually. Zooming in shows some of the Vatican territory in there. Lets rezone the area as listed. There's certainly precent in the way the middle east was divided up

Hold the fuck up. There's a Russian /pol/?

Holy shit, I need to learn Russian. That has got to be the most amazing experience.

I've considered learning Russian for the literature, but fuck that, Russian /pol/ sounds even better than their dashcam videos and crazy protests (like that guy who nailed his balls to Red Square or something). It's like both in one.

Russian /pol/ (/po/) has mostly been a battleground between Putin's supporters and opponents: mutual insults, accusations of being a CIA/Putin shill, "Russia/'insert country name here' is done for", "U LIE!!1!1", "+15 roubles", "PROOFS???" and other things galore. Conspiracy theories and neo-Nazism can hardly be found there, unlike /pol/. With the war in Ukraine being frozen it's more peaceful in there comparing to last year.
Here's /po/ of 2ch.hk, for example. Right now people are actually discussing world events, philosophy and troll posts claiming to be from the future when Navalny rules Russia. Back in the day, trolls pretending to be Russian MPs (with masterfully shopped proofs) claimed that Putin was about to launch a nuclear strike on the United States - a massive shitstorm ensued.

Its slang is nigh untranslatable into English, though - for example, the usual term for Russia is "Pidorusshka", and its people are often called vatniks, "rusnya" and other similarly colourful terms like pigdogs. Other nations are denoted with widely used ethnic slurs (an American is a Pindos, for example).

I gotta say, aside from those two things that sounds pretty exactly like /pol/. I'm surprised at a lack of neo-Nazis, while /pol/'s NatSocs are admittedly at least half ironic shitposters and undercover shills who are never found out by the other, genuine half, Russia's far-right does kind of have a reputation...

Ho shit, that guy is something else, I've never even heard of him before now. A LiveJournal blogger who gets memed into prominence, advocates democracy and anti-corruption, and occasionally just so happens to protest with neo-Nazis and call for the extermination of ethnic minorities as cockroaches. "The man Putin fears most", wonders will never cease.

I am deeply disappointed to find out the etymology of that isn't Pinto -> Exploding Cars -> Hollywood ->Americans are bloodthirsty imperialists.

And eugenics was a legitimate scientific subject, while racism was regarded as scientific truth.

Late 19th century - early 20th century was pretty big on stereotypical mad science, if you think about it.

Pretty sure Frankenstein wasn't written as "insane pseudoscience" so much as "fantastic idea 20 minutes into the future" a la FTL drive today. So yeah, mad science abounds.
