    Which additional countries could have realistically adopted a Swiss-style cantonal system?

    What about a cantonal system for a surviving Ottoman Empire? Not enough colonialism, apparently, since hundreds of millions of Third Worlders still want to move to the West. Maybe more colonialism in their home countries would be a good alternative solution to this instead.

    A Yugoslavia with its own cantonal system would have been pretty epic as well: There would have likely been Slovene, Croat, Bosniak Muslim, Montenegrin, Serbian, non-Bosniak Muslim, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Albanian, and Macedonian cantons. Pretty epic!

    FWIW, I certainly wouldn't mind splitting Belgium up if that's what the Belgian people themselves will actually want to happen.

    What about for Afghanistan? Interestingly enough, Iraq is a federal state rather than a unitary state, and it does have a lot of governorates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governorates_of_Iraq But I doubt that they have the same level of autonomy as Swiss cantons have.

    Which additional countries could have realistically adopted a Swiss-style cantonal system?

    Why aren't Swiss eager to split up their own country? Because of its innovations in regards to things such as direct democracy and neutrality?
