This scenario is purely fictional, made only for fun and reflection on how current borders could hypothetically evolve. Starting with Cyprus, I suggest reunification of the island, moving on to Turkey, where I introduce a united Kurdistan spanning parts of Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. The Caucasus sees Armenia annexing Nakhichevan and Georgia reclaiming Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Iran loses its Kurdish and Azerbaijani-majority regions, with Azerbaijan gaining significant territory. In the Middle East, I propose a reimagined Syria, a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine, a partition of Yemen, and a union between Jordan and Iraq's Sunni areas. Central Asia is transformed into a Turkic federation, while Afghanistan and Pakistan are reorganized into ethnic states like Pashtunistan and Balochistan. India sees the independence of regions like Kashmir and a united Bengal. For China, I mention the recognition of an independent Taiwan, plus a return to independence for Tibet, with a free Uyghuristan as well, and an expanded Mongolia. Korea unifies, Japan loses its Ainu regions, and Southeast Asia largely remains stable, with minor changes like a sovereign Rohingya state and a Papuan nation.
