I'm agreeing with you Bill, could probably have worded it better. There's also the small matter of the Corsicans and their fight for independence by the FLNC.

All I was saying is that it's hard to find another country that's as disjointed as Spain and Italy by the North and South divide.

No arguments about that here, but the original statement was that other European countries aren't divided in the same way as Italy, where the history of Europe in the early 20th C is of culturally diverse regions being united by force into homogenous 'nations', with a recoil in the late 20th against the homogenisation.

Did I mention the cultural divide between 'mainland' Denmark & Copenhagen?
