Occitania

Occitania
Occitania
Occitania is the southern chunk of France, and while you could argue there’s a major philosophical split between the temperate, hard-working north and the relaxed, Mediterrannean south, I think calling for the nation to be split in two is perhaps a bit of a problem. Seriously, they want to cleave France in twain, making the north and south completely separate. While the whole Occitane region has had its own culture and language for centuries, it has never been a nation on its own, so it lacks the historical basis that many separatists lean on to guide their principles.
