Réunion

Réunion

Okay, no one likes being ruled by the French. Hell, I can understand that, even the French don’t like it much, but Réunion is going to have a lot of trouble breaking off on their own. Okay, think of where Madagascar is. Now imagine an infinitesimally tiny speck of land, East from there, in the middle of the ocean. That’s Réunion, and it’s about 2,500 square-kilometers large, and has a population of less than a million. I can understand chafing under the rule of the French, especially that far away, but the island sends representatives to France, and with their sugar exports currently struggling, I don’t know if tourists would be enough to keep them going.
