--- Quote from: Kearn on October 29, 2017, 12:57:15 AM ---what constitutes a region? if i convince my highschool class to declare independence is the US obligated to let us establish a new nation in the schoolgrounds? can a city declare independence? a county? --- End quote --- Wow, I can't believe it's taken you this long to ask a question that's actually relevant and open for debate. I can't claim to have a universal definition, but Catalonia has a separate language and a separate culture - I think that qualifies them as a separate region. |
