Basquistan.

The Basque population finally won their freedom, and carved out a bit of France for some elbow room.

I guess you could say that's a rough Newfoundland before it split from Europe (or whatever it was called back then)

I'm from east asia so european geography isn't my forte. But I like to think I've played even civilizations and total war games to have some familiarity with Europe.
