    That’s not 100% correct. For example the island nation Mauritius didn’t have humans on it and has therefore been colonised and fought over without a genocide, then became independent in 1968.

    Also, there are currently areas of land no nation claims for itself. They may become independent nations. We’ll see.

      I imagine that’s very much an exception. My point was just that this is the case for the vast majority of countries, like 90%, not necessarily that it is a 100%.

        idk it was an example i knew right away. it’s possible there are more. but to go unnoticed by humans until the slaughtering is over, they must be hard to find regions like this small island.
