Why do we have so many small countries? Why can't we just unite all of them into a big country called "Balkania"?🤔

Yet China is grounded enough not to do *anything* to capitalize on the Iran situation, when there's a great deal they could have been doing before and during to increase their position against the US at the cost of global instability. China isn't a benevolent force, but they conaistently seem to grasp that China is part of 'the world.'

That’s an absurd take. The destruction of the Yugoslav state was directly due to constitutional issues after Tito’s death and large scale autonomy for the regions/states within Yugoslavia. Slovenia and Croatia pushed for more individual autonomy due to financing the weaker poorer states like Montenegro and Macedonia. Serbia was aggressively pushing for centralization and power seeing it as the head of the multiethnic state. That division eventually lead to war. Foreign intervention was involved once the war and ethnic cleansing of Bosnia and Croatia began. Foreign intervention saved Bosnia from Serbia’s malicious attempt to preserve a unified Yugoslavia. Time and time again Serbia has shown how untrustworthy they are when it comes to intervention in neighboring states.

As a former Yugoslav I honestly say Yugoslavia is now stronger than ever. At least one goverment might be doing something right at any one time, keeping the others on its toes. Also honorable mention goes to united China versus disunited Europe, which ended up thrashing one of the most dominant civilisations on this planet. As somebody who is into history....this is also why I think EU is a extremly bad idea.

That's not the Balkans. Neither Attica nor the Peloponnese are included, but Moldova for some reason is?

**1. It wouldn't be possible because we our self couldn't manage it.** Doesn't really need explanation for this one. **2. Others would not allow is even if we wanted to.** Historically other superpowers have wanted their own strong man in the region. Be it the west(Austria-Hungary/Germany/UK) or the east(Soviet Union/Russia and Turkey) They would want "their" guy to be running the show and they would do anything to make it so. No one wants a big dog. The west for sure wants smaller countries that can obey as do the Russians. USA today would sure want to be a arbiter of some sort if this was anywhere nearly possible. Personally in a perfect world as a Serb I would be all for. But It wouldn't work as there would always be someone wanting to dominate. We are not mature enough to even enter EU let alone form a greater Balkan country.

When I see today's political borders used for such an idea, I know that OP hasn't thought through it or isn't informed well enough. Geographical or cultural delimiters are much more representative than those lines.

We were members of big countries (monkeys together - STRONG) throughout the most of our existence in these parts, so we have some experience with it. And that experience says - yeah, nah, thanks. Union maybe, but not one big country. And we're already in a Union, so... :shrug: If you're not, shape up and come on down.
