jesus... I'm not talking about some historical situation, I'm talking about right here and right now.

AFAIR British Empire long ceased to exist. But when it existed it had quite unified law. That's why you have English law in the USA and that's what Law of India is largely based on too.

World map that shows PRC and Republic of China (and Hong Kong for that matter) as a single entity is simply wrong.



Much as the British Empire ceased to exist, Somalia ceased to exist as well. Any world map which shows Somalia as a single entity is simply wrong.

But of course, if world maps can be wrong, why are you appealing to their authority two posts up?


Somalia ceased to exist as well

indeed, Somalia the political entity ceased to exist. That's why Somalia the geographical entity is in anarchy. Which nobody besides you is disputing. But fine, let's finish this pointless thread, we're not getting anywhere :)
