What did Poland get out of the wars and struggles for others? [1108]
Scotland should definately be more than one
Hmmm....I don't know much about Scotland but there surely are differences too...maybe between East and West? North and South? Highland and Lowlands? :)
I have no idea!
It isn't a matter of to much or to few...a region with a different dialect, different customs etc either exists or not. The people living there know best!
I think these regions are bound to places and areas though. That's where these distinctions developed and where they thrive.
For example I remember my grandmother speaking strong silesian dialect, I remember silesian dishes. That died out with her as her offspring grew up in Berlin and took on Berliner dialect and custom but when I would travel to lower Silesia I'm sure I would find those customs and dishes again....I would hate to see it dying out as a region!
The map you linked there shows huge differences in what constitutes a region. Scotland is just one, Belgium just two, France is divided into rather large departments, England into lots of little counties. How unfair is that! No Osiolia either.
This is an organization where regions voluntarily can become members to work together and strenghten their influence and develop their infrastructure etc.
It isn't complete...not every region is a member right now!
Tell me more about Osiolia...:)
