To add to my list:
Tibet should be independent, yes. Taiwan should be fully recognised as independent, yes. I'm not sure about Kaliningrad. Russia should've never got it, but there's not much we can do about it now. EDIT: Western Sahara should be independent owned by sahrawi arab democratic republic

1- Palestine Is already an independent state currently under occupation.
2- Catalonia Already has autonomy. Some people are just hard to please.
3- Kosovo Was historically an Ottoman Province. Should remain independent from Serbia.
4- Northern Cyprus I like Turkey better than I like Greece.
5- Kurdistan The region might benefit from a strong independent Islamic Kurdish country as a stabilizing force in the region. Historically never existed.
6- Crimea Was illegally taken by Ukraine, and has now been illegally returned to Russia. Get used to it. The majority population is Russians. There's no going back on this one.
7- Kashmir India and China must be taking the piss with this one. Kashmir should be an autonomous region of Pakistan.
8- Greenland Just a region of Denmark. Should remain so as long as they retain self-determination within the Kingdom.
9- Scotland Let's just remember that it was the Scottish monarch who gained the English crown, not the English who took the Scottish. The personal union has worked all this time and is so intertwined I don't see any point in independence. No benefits.
10- Tibet Nobody cares about this place.
11- Taiwan Should be independent, but only if they stop trying to claim other people's territory.
12- Kaliningrad This place should be German, but it has become so integrated into Russia now that I doubt this would happen.
13- Czechoslovakia Should be reunited.
14- Abkhazia Should remain independent.
15- South Ossetia The Georgians are so oppressive of the Ossetian people this place needs to be independent to stop another massacre from happening.
16- Somaliland Should be recognized as an independent country. Large potential in combating jihadists in the region.
17- Texas Should be independent. Would be an amazing country.
18- Falklands Argentina can f**k off.
19- Austria Y u no part of Germany?!
20- South Yemen Should be given greater independence if not full to protect itself from Shiite Houthi oppression.

Somaliland - Independent 17. Abkhazia/South Ossetia - idk, Georgia is kind of small enough already... 18. Quebec - Could possibly be independent if canadians and quebeckers want it

Short introduction to the Kashmir issue:
Kashmir is a large, fertile and rich state to India's northwest and Pakistan's northeast. When the British partitioned subcontinental India, Kashmir was the largest princely state. Princely states were given the choice of either acceding to Pakistan or India. For most states, their location or their predominant religion made the choice simple. Kashmir had a Muslim majority but its prince was Hindu. The prince played for independence by continually putting off a decision, but the Pakistani government got tired of his indecision and began to covertly foster revolt among the Muslim populace. Supply deliveries were obstructed and border tribesmen invaded the state. Alarmed, the prince agreed to accede Kashmir to India in return for military aid in quelling the rebellion. India sent in its army and Pakistan, determined to get Kashmir, did the same.

^ Kaliningrad should be Old Prussian, but this nation no longer exists, so I proposed Lithuania as probably the closest to Old Prussia.
Brandenburg should be Sorbian.

Error 102- word not found in dictionary.
Poland just takes up another slot when I make custom scenarios. What's the point?
Some countries you can understand but Poland? I don't know who thought it'd be a good idea in the first place. The only purpose it served historically was as an excuse to go to war against Hitler.

Poland is a state for poles and Germany is a state for Germans. If there's no point for Poland then there is no point for Germany.

Scotland isn't a state and if it became independent it wouldn't serve the best interests of the Scottish people.
Poland is part of the EU and Euro so basically it's a non-state anyway.
And if Germany is for Germans why are they letting all them migrants in?

Colonel you do realize Poland prevented the communists from going west and for about twenty years held a front against communism with Romania? You're anti-communist so I thought you would have liked that.
