    Come on, surely you can do better than that! Come on, wouldn't it be easier to think of territories that shouldn't be under Greek domination than ones that should? Magna Graecia!

    Seriously, why is it always that crappy countries always have dreams of expansion? I suppose I should be thankful that great nations like Germany and Japan don't dream of expansion anymore.

    It's always these clown countries in the Balkans babbling about expansion. Greater Serbia? Greater Greece? Whatever. Every couple of months there's a new thread between Greeks and Macedonians squabbling about the dumbest crap imaginable, with genuine hostility going into it. Thank heavens Germany and France don't have like this in their bilateral relations anymore.

    (...) and that unfortunate People were afterwards forced to undergo the utmost Miseries of a Siege, in their Capital City of Barcelona; during which, great Multitudes of them perished by Famine and the Sword, many of them have since been executed; and great Numbers of the Nobility of Catalonia, who, for their Constancy and Bravery in Defence of their Liberties, and for their Services in Conjunction with Her Majesty and Her Allies, had, in all Honour, Justice, and Conscience, the highest Claim to Her Majesty's Protection, are now dispersed in Dungeons throughout the Spanish Dominions.

    Just because some Americans may have had similar dreams (Manifest Destiny and all that) doesn't make them any less pathetic.

    And today, with the notable exception of Russia, only crappy countries have these dreams. And Russia is arguably crappy...

    Clown countries. Look who's talking. A country with the following political goal. "kill people and animals and steal their gas".

    Oh, and by the way jo, you're not helping with these posts.

    The United States is a hegemonic empire, and is behaving as, well, a hegemonic empire. We'll get ours, and then said goal will be over. This is intrinsic to the political system of any empire. It was the same with the USSR, the Nazis, the British, etc. It's despicable and immoral, but standard.

    We don't, however, entertain ridiculous nationalist fantasies. Greeks regularly foam at the mouth about Turks, accuse Macedonians of stealing their history (I guess some Macedonians carted off the Parthenon in the middle of the night), demand the Hagia Sophia back, etc. This just doesn't happen in, say, France.

    Here's a though experiment: how would people react if a German posted this topic with a map of the Kaiserreich? Or a Briton and posted a map with a quarted of the globe in pink?

    Yay, great. You love Greece. Good for you.

    For me? Well, restoring some of the Norwegian Commonwealth would be nice.
    That includes:
    -Iceland
    -Faroe Islands
    -Shetland
    -Some Swedish counties (Jämtland, Härjedalen, Bohuslän)
    -Greenland? Nope!
    -Hebrides? Nope!
    -Isle of Man? Nope!
    -Canada

    I would bring back the Austro-Hungarian empire to help-declutter the map, all those Balkan countries are annoying.

    And re-create the Byzantine Empire

    And I drank it strait down.

    As far as ideal territorial possession goes: blue for definite, red for strong maybe, orange for possibly and pale yellow for likely more bad than good.
    The only even moderately realistic one is a Russia-Belarus unification and that looks less likely with every year since Yeltsin left. On the other hand, if Russia and Belarus would be united, Russia would would have to contend itself with investing in a vastly underdeveloped territory to bring it up to standard.
