Neo Westphalian Europe Part 2: Western Europe


The Western European break up will follow some classic fault lines. The British Isles is already going through a decentralisation process, with their devolution to various historical nations within the Isles. The full-blown disintegration, which the political crisis of Brexit has triggered, is now going to accelerate radically in the coming months. Especially if the party which wins the upcoming election in the UK is not able to cut a new deal, with the Bankers of the City of London, and ruthless Austerity continues to attempt to recapitalise a completely bankrupt banking sector. This process of disintegration will also be accelerated as the housing crisis escalates into full-scale collapse.

Across the channel the Jacobin centralisation of the Fifth French Republic will lose its grip on many peripheral regions, as it too succumbs to the forces of decentralisation. However it is likely to gain new territories as well, as its borders change. The Belgian region of Wallonia is likely to enter into union with Paris due to its shared culture. This will reform national boundaries in the surrounding areas.

Currently the strongest of the independence movements in the region is the Scottish Nationalist movement.
