You are right but this France is not the historical France, but Occitania (France conquered this land in the 17th century).   Sorry but by your logic, Europe would be a huge conglomerate of countries, one for each province....    You can make the same argument about  *Spain: Galicia + Aragon + Castilla + León + Navarra + ...  *Portugal: Galicia + Algarve + Alentejo...  *Italy: Moneda + Tuscony + Papal State + Venice + Apulia + Sardinia...    You can even break down the historical France that conquered occitania: Burgundy + Brittany + Auvergne + Lorraine + Strassburg + Savoie + Navarra + ...    And let's not talk about Germany and all the states of the Holy Roman Empire... :rolleyes:    The point is that if you go back in history enough you end up with single province governments or countries all over Europe, I bet that anyone with a little research could make a valid separatist argument for any province in any country of Europe :rolleyes:
