Who’s is this guy?
I love this guy. He just post pictures of countries he doesn’t like getting balkanised it’s a hilarious brand of unhinged. The china one was a personal fave as all the flags sucked.
My favorite is the south africa one (number one) which includes both a zulu republic and a Volksstaat in anotherwise english map or alternatively the south africa one (number two) which includes 8 pixels in total if one is being generous
This is a pretty funny meme idea.
The motherfucking internet.
Before, cranks like this would be relegated to MSPaint and printing out this shit at home and handing it out on street corners or sending it through an ad in the back of Fortean Times or pre-insanity White Dwarf. Now Gunther can fire up his fully-paid CC version of Illustrator, mangle a few vector maps from Wikipedia and spunk them out onto Twitter so everyone can see.
I’ve talked about this before, but he was the chairman of the “Union of Democratic Students”, the conservative party student branch Internationale between 1996-1998.
This formerly high ranking youth politician is now unhinged-posting on twitter with reddit balkanization fantasies and it’s hilarious
For the love of all that is Holy and beautiful, please no-one tell him about Europa Universalis.
Hearts of Iron
HOI is the game that people say, ‘…oh yeah, I play Paradox games’ but never say exactly what Paradox game they play. Then you look at their socials and it’s full of Azov and NAFO shit.
There are 2 kinds of HOI4 players. Political extremists and trans women.
I don’t think anyone that isn’t brazilian or familiar with Brazil’s history can comprehend the level of nerd shit this map actually is; it was absolutelly made by a brazilian teenager who calls himself “monarchist libertarian” and Gunther just snatched it out of the internet

Gunther just uses his reddit account to pinch content from other wankers clearly. Mf should of tagged the oc smh, no honor amongst reactionaries.
I think this guy should just get into world building. Like write some sci-fi novel set on future Earth with countries like the People’s Republic of Svalbard or the United States of Antarctica or the Artsakh Union.
It would be a much better use of his energy than making a nut of himself on twitter.
What sucks for me is that Amazonia sounds really cool and has a neat flag. I’m down if it weren’t so inane and reactionary to the good guys winning. If it could be Amazonia in name alone and we didn’t have to think much about it that’d rock.
I agree that the name is cool, but I think that flag is hideous

has a neat flag
It reminds me a Jasper Johns painting: Flag (Moratorium).
Here’s what a gallery selling a reproduction for 800 bucks has to say…
This work remains one of the most captivating and powerful images of the anti-Vietnam war movement. The image was commissioned to commemorate the anti-war Moratorium Marches that occurred in the fall of 1969 throughout the US.
This work symbolizes the horrors of the Vietnam war; from the Agent Orange-esque coloring of the stars, to the deathly green Army camouflage of the stripes, to the singular white bullet hole in the center.
I don’t know how accurate that is. I never learned the backstory.
dude keeps making rump states with coastlines. doesn’t the CIA teach you in Balkanization 101 that you don’t do that?
Fucking nerd didn’t even take notes at imperialist school smh
👀
All Balkanization maps from Euros is cope that Euros can’t build a unified European polity that lasts longer than a century.
In fairness, the EU has lasted in some form or another for 80-odd years. Not that it’s going all that well.
He or his friends in Funkytown can start by bulkanizing himself.
I’m convinced he’s a robot piloted by a tiny Joe Biden.
HOLY SHIT! Is this guy actually going to dismantle Brazil? Because that’s huge news!
Is Pedronia the Basuria and Yuyencia of Brazil?
So Brazil had two monarchs after independence named Dom Pedro the first and second. Since the second was very slightly less awful than your average monarch, monarchist nerds like to pretend that he was an angel and therefore a monarchy is the correct thing to do.
This loser’s map not only assume that there are enough monarchist cucks to control the entire south of Brazil, they would choose the most godawful name for a nation ever (imagine if a american balkanization had a state named “johnland”)
No Manchukuo, 2/10.
Gunther let us all down 😤
