Basque

Basque

I know, we’ve already covered Spain, but fuck it, these guys are hardcore enough to warrant their own mention. The Basque are the big boys of the separatist world. They’ll attack innocent people, and generally make themselves reviled in their quest for an independent nation. Thankfully, this has decreased in recent years, but the Basque still have a very interesting case for their own nation. Culturally and linguistically, they have a distinct and ancient lineage, and their language is one of the oldest still in use, completely isolated from everyone around them. I’m not entirely convinced we’ll see a Basque nation in the near future — especially not with the Eurozone in shambles — but if any group deserves its own nation, it’s these guys. But blowing things up? Really not helping things.
