We need some state names for these. A few -stans would be appropriate as well.

An extraordinary map of a proposed European Union … in 1920!

A striking, enigmatic and very rare map illustrating a complex utopian scheme for a prototype European Union after the First World War. It was produced by “P.A.M.,” an elusive figure, probably laid in loose to a 24-page pamphlet (not included here) describing his plan in elaborate detail.

Kanton München
Half of France

Gee, I wonder why no one tried this plan for ever-lasting peace in Europe.

French infrastructure is like that too, every road leading to Paris. Probably more countries like this.
