Culture and history is very cool. There's a lot of mixed Polish, German and Czech influence along with indigenous stuff stemming from mostly industrial development in the last 200 years.
But the independence movement is >>913607, basically it's loaded with massive resentment towards Poland caused by the inevitable downfall of the industry. That's regardless of the fact that actual native Silesians nowadays only form a majority in upper Silesia and Opole (areas marked pink in your map).
>>914022
I bet that Jan Mayen movement is a real problem for Norway.
>>914022
I hate these meme tier maps with a passion - the Moravian independence "movement" is literally a couple of hundred people who got something like 0.2 % of votes in the 2010 parliamentary election and didn't even run as a party in the 2013 one...

commies and racists/fascists (depending on the time in history, sometimes both at the same time) unhappy with the gubermint
only corsica and basques are serious about it, but even they toned it down lately and basically gave up the arms

It'd be great to have so many different nations, it'd make Europe less boring

Lower Silesians got slowly, over centuries, assimilated by Germans. Thus they were treated as Germans after 1945 and mostly left or were expelled. About 100-150k of them remain, mostly in cities like Wroclaw, Walbrzych or Zielona Gora.
In Upper Silesia ethnic Silesians remained and form majority in two Polish provinces: Silesian and Opole. And they are the meme ethnic group.
>>914022
As everyone else said, most of these are irrelevant. The only ones which could feasibly achieve independence in the next twenty years are Catalonia, the Basque country (in Spain), Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Belgium could also split.
>>914271
They were considered as Germans, so they mostly left or were expelled.
>>914288
As long as the culture is being somewhat kept alive.
>>914297
It definately is. It experiences a massive reival as of now.
>>914304
Now we need some more revivals, I'm thinking like Ruthenian, Prussian, Thracian, get all the cultures
>>914347
>Ruthenian,
Ruthenians basically re-imagined themselves as Ukrainians when they became a political nation. There's a small amount in trans-carpathian Ruthenia that still consider themselves Ruthenian and want nothing to do with Ukraine
>Prussian,
Yeah, there's some cultural revival in northern Poland corresponding to Royal Prussia. Ie. the Prussian lands that were under the Polish crown since 1500s, as opposed to Ducal Prussia which was under the Hohenzollern duke who was a vassal of Poland and then crowned himself the king in Prussia. Basically, the ethnic substrata there remained more or less the same since early modern era,.
OTOH the modern Russian exclave of Kaliningrad oblast where Konigsberg lies had most of its population expelled after WW2 and there's very little continuity.
>Thracian
I think Bulgarians and Macedonians feel some affinity towards the Thracian identity to this day.
>>913477
independence movement is active only in upper silesia, near katowice
it's probably the only place where some of the population actually consider themselves more silesian than polish
>culture
>history
very rich, but it doesn't really matter that much after wwii, as most of population was resettled there from what is today western ukraine
>>914022
>Italy ends at the top of Lazio.
LOL Who in Bologna doesn't consider themselves Italian?
>>914399
>I think Bulgarians and Macedonians feel some affinity towards the Thracian identity to this day.
I still don't get why those two don't joint up and become one country. Would be worth it at least to see Greece lose it's mind.
