There are 193 UN recognised countries, two UN observer states (the Vatican and the Palestinian Authority), and plenty of partially recognised or disputed countries. But what if there was more?
Leaving aside factors like natural resources, stability, population, etc., what countries do you want to exist, simply because it would be pretty neat? Joke answers are acceptable and encouraged.


Wakanda, Krakoa, and Transia
You get tech goodies, safe haven, and fantasy goodies. Count me in (we’ll ignore the Cthon risk if Transia was real. I’d take Cthon over Trump right now)
Latveria, I want to be dr. Doom’s manservant
I can fix him 🥺
Good luck with that. You need to survive the sentry bots first just because you looked at him funny
