Line 10:
== Anime & Manga ==
* China is further divided in ''[[Full Metal Panic]]'' where it is now the People's Liberation Committee (North China) and the Democratic Chinese Alliance (South China). Makes more sense than many, given the long-standing (cultural) north/south divide along the Yangtze.
* ''[[Ghost in Thethe Shell]]'' has a Balkanized USA. After the end of the nuclear World War III, the United States was divided into three countries: the American Empire, the Russo-American Alliance, and the United States of America.
 
 
Line 48:
* ''[[Ace Attorney Investigations]]'' does it to itself. The fictional country of Cohdopia splits for unspecified reasons into Allebahst and Babahl.
** As well, the Republic of Zheng Fa seems to be a splinter country from China.
* ''[[Global Domination]]'', a game based on the computer game [[James Bond (Filmfilm)|James Bond]] plays in ''[[Never Say Never Again (Film)|Never Say Never Again]]'', splits Australia in two and Russia, the USA, China and Canada in several pieces, more for [[Excuse Plot|gameplay reasons than anything else]]. Many smaller nations are swept up into bigger ones for the same reasons.
* ''[[Metal Gear]] 2: Solid Snake'' has Zanzibarland which was one of the many splinter countries of the former Soviet Union (keep in mind that this game was released before the actual fall of the Soviet Union).
 
Line 56:
* Parodied and taken to the illogical extreme in the [[Alternate History Dot Com]] timeline [http://alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=154637 Leaves in the Wind], which records the Balkanization of ''Liechtenstein''!
* The [[Alternate History]] project [http://www.bethisad.com/ Ill Bethisad] has only Russia as the only real [[Space Filling Empire]]. Both Brazil and China are broken up into smaller states and the USA are a looser union than in OTL. [http://ib.frath.net/w/images/0/08/WorldMap2001.png Here's a map.]
* The [[Chaos Timeline (Literature)|Chaos Timeline]] does this to North <s>America</s> Atlantis, and sometimes China, France and Russia. And even New Albion (New Zealand.)
* [[Union and Liberty]] includes the balkanization of Mexico into a dozen states.
