How bout this for a map of Britain's Federal State future:

So, we obviously have Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland there. But the English states may be a little different to the conventional Southeast bordered on southwest idea:
London - London
Southeast - Cantia
Central South and South West - Wessex
Far South West - Cornwall
East - Anglia
Midlands - Mercia
North West - Rheged
North East - Northumbria

If you said yes to English states having their own unique names, what do you think of the state names and boarders idea above? Can you think of better names for the English states? Do you have different ideas on the bordering of the English states? Or do you believe that the English states must stay as and named as the Southeast or Southwest, and so on?
Cornwall/Far South West should be re-named Little Wales

Southeast should be called Belgae


London should be further broken down into Cockney-Regent, East End, Posh Square, Muslim-Sector etc...

London should also be re-named King's Landing, (lmao)

North-West should be called Cumbria or Brigantia

south central/south west should be called Great Wessex

England should be re-named Brittania

Yorkshire should be called Jorvik

the Northern parts of Northumberland and Durham should be called The Debatable Lands, along with the Scottish Border counties.

Birmingham and Lancashire should officially be re-named The Black Country.

any Irish Travelers wondering around should be scooped up and lumped together all on one piece of land called Fenian Flatts

Germany has city states, which are ports the last time I looked. The likes of the Liverpool City Region, a large port, should be a city state.
