Could you elaborate on what you mean by “balkanised”? I’ve never seen it used as a verb before and would like you to expand on what you mean a bit.
It generally means turned into a bunch of competing nation states, often left unable to collectively defend their mutual interests because they're all competing against each other.
I see now, thanks for explaining. I feel pretty balkanised already and I live in the imperial core.
Adding to what keepcarrot said, the term originates from the breaking up of Yugoslavia into various rump states (Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Croatia, etc.) in southeast Europe.
