This is what Germany and italy should have looked like after WWI. 50% because it would have averted WWII, 50% because their national projects flattened hundreds of local cultures.
Sometimes we forget why it was Portugal and Spain/Castille that went off to decide the world was theirs to split. They were huge kingdoms for the time and that meant the crown had huge resources at their disposal.
