Blowing up all places of worship is one of the core tenets thats the root of the problem there. How about enabling future generations the space to respect each others principles and not have the 2/3/4 enemies fermenting troubles.
The balkans is one of the places I feel needs to just go for the lots of “city states” with alliances and treaties between them as they individually desire… I genuinely don’t know how they can really draw a map around any relatively “country sized” contiguous area (yes I know some countries are tiny Im suggesting they need a lot of such tiny countries, I’m talking about areas roughly the size of the current countries or a bit smaller or larger) … and hope to use the new borders to somehow settle things… the area is basically fractured like some bad sci-fi or cyberpunk city where there’s an overall “city” but every neighbourhood or two is vastly different… like this Chinatown is the recent immigrants Chinatown, then there’s little Italy, then you’ve got Japantown, oh now it’s the mixed Anglo suburb, oh now it’s the Chinatown for immigrants who’ve been here for over a hundred years and who have a very different culture to the recent immigrants, oh and now it’s little Russia and here’s little Vietnam….
There’s no stitching this together properly without making it worse… let the mess break up into tiny countries with borders they are happy with, kick anyone that wants to control too much surrounding territory (as in they think someone else’s city state shouldn’t exist) square in the head and just protect the lot with either a permanent NATO presence or use it as the excuse to give Frontex the EU’s common border and coast guard a sibling and actually make a damn Army of the European Union, have some fun with the name even, the European Union Defence Forces doesn’t sound too bad in French either, “Forces dē défense de l’Union Européenne” FDUE, EUDF, im just using Google translate so I’m sure some actual French speaking people could probably come up with another clever NATO style name where the acronym is the same in French…
Can't reply to 3seashells, so I'll reply here. You're right in your reply, but there's also a logical flaw in 3seashell's claim. The problem is all these empires were there, so the answer is to blow up houses of worship? Um, most of them weren't religious empires! Blowing up houses of worship is unrelated to the diagnosed problem.
This looks like someone has a huge axe to grind with religion, and took this as an excuse to grind it, no matter how unrelated it was...
