Irredentia

Description

A very casual scenario, loosely based on a map by dead_wolf on AH.com: A world where all the modern irredentist claims as they appear on Wikipedia at the time of map-making are fulfilled. The backstory is just a poor excuse for the outcome: this world suffered a WWIII in the mid 50's after an earlier fall of Communism, resulting in drastic postwar population movements and border readjustments. A really crazy political turmoil in North America during the 60's made the American Southwest to secede and eventually develop a Chicano Nationalist identity.

As many claims overlap, I followed some rules:

-Claims over entire countries that have irredentist claims of their own are ignored.
-When two countries argue to be the same and claim each other, the country that claims more territory and thus has more to gain, engulfs the other.
-When a country claims mainland of another country, it gets it automatically, unless the claim overlaps with other claims of the same nature.
-When several countries claim roughly the same area, the country that would shrink the most due to the former rule and thus has more to lose, fulfils its claim.
