Europe is not homogenous. Not Ireland, as I mentioned, not Spain and not Yugoslavia, which you said was not a part of Europe (but was Eastern Bloc) but is. There are more instances of lack of homogeneity but you will cavil about one thing or another as you are at bottom disingenuous. Homogenous Spain The three-province Basque country is one of 17 autonomous regions created by the 1978 constitution that followed the death of longtime dictator Gen. Francisco Franco (news - web sites). The region already collects and spends its own taxes and manages many of its public services. If it gets more rights, or independence, there are likely to be more demands from other regions, notably Catalonia in the northeast, which have their own languages, cultures and autonomy aspirations.
