I know the Caucasus wins in territorial disputes, but I'm still convinced that Southeast Asia and the Balkans win the prize for 'biggest mess'

My boy
You speak to a man well versed in the lore of the Balkans
It took me far too long (6 months of research), and I'm only 300 years back

I am no boy, and, if the territorial diputes were that great, there'd still be Balkan conflict....seems they've drawn all the new borders that they're gonna draw there ;-)....just waiting for Kosovo to have it's final day.

Unlike the Transcaucuses region where half of even the Russian states want independence........and that's not even touching how many break away states there are in Georgia lol

The rest of Europe has been at relative peace since WW2 until Ukraine happened. The Balkans went to war in 1990, and when you look at the ridiculous rivalries and conflicts and friendships and empires all the Balkan countries have formed, you just realise how f**ked up that region is

Right, and the unrest there has pretty much quieted....unlike the Caucuses where you don't hear much cause it's not a media hot topic, but Osetia, Chechnya, Abkhazia, Dagestan and Ingushetia all have had unrest continuously......
