The imperial/colonial powers not only left back ill-considered boundaries, but also left back guardians and propogators of those same divisions, so one must also take into account those vested-interests while proposing a more "considered" distribution. The trick of course is in gauging the exact importance of the vested-interests and the rebellious-interests, and treating them with appropriate consideration.
