The geographies of the these are imposed and colonially drawn. Moreover, ethnicities and cultural entities have always outlived political and administrative orders. So many kingdoms and empires are under the debris of history but communities held together by common territory, common culture, common history, common language and ethnicity have survived.

All these may be favorable (but not sufficient) factors but where is an “equitable contract”…a genuine democratic federation with fair control to units?

I agree.. a fair and democratic federal govt is the key here along with a strong national identity composed of commonality in religion, race, culture, language, history, etc.

Yes all boundaries of these regions were created by the British, Russian, and French colonialists. However, creating newer boundaries based on ethnic lines is almost impossible and will open a pandora box of infinite ethnic violence. This is because many regions are multi-ethnic.

Another thing to note is that ethnicities are constantly evolving dependent on their environments… and geo-political boundaries can certainly influence them in the long run…

This might not be possible in the present political circumstances, but opening borders where the same ethnic people are divided will be beneficial to them…
