The Hatay State joined Turkey in 1939. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beshogur ( talk • contribs) 15:26, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
Why is this article not semi-protected? This article has a very low quality due to all the vandalism on this article. -- 1990'sguy ( talk) 21:24, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
There is still a lot of unconstructive edits to the article, including one relatively recently that removed the notes that I added to keep editors from adding non-notable/inappropriate examples (which I had to add back more than a week and more than a dozen other edits later). Much more oversight of this article is needed. -- 1990'sguy ( talk) 00:00, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
I'm not convinced proposals that were made 5 years ago should be put in the historical section. When a proposal is made seriously by some countries' governments, we should give them a longer period before labeling the proposal as "historical". As such, I'd include both Cyprus (who's had talks as late as 2015) and Romania-Moldova (whose last president supported unification as late as 2013). As I said before, there probably won't be constant news about state mergers. But once a proposal has really become fringe, then I agree it should be placed in the historical section. For Cyprus specifically, Mentatus is right that the page should not link to the Annan plan. Instead, I'd favour linking to Cyprus dispute and displaying a flag placeholder. Abjiklɐm ( tɐlk) 13:28, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
I think we all agree that we need some criteria for which proposals to include and which to keep out. In invisible notes at the top of the "Current" section, I wrote that only serious and sourced proposals can be added, but that obviously is not enough. I suggest adding a section at or near the top that is dedicated to explaining the criteria for inclusion for this article. Here (in bullet points) is what I suggest we include in our "official" criteria:
Is there anything that I missed? Any other suggestions? -- 1990'sguy ( talk) 02:07, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
I don't know if that's a good enough criterion, but perhaps we should accept only those proposals that are notable enough to have their own articles. I see this page as an index directing readers to other articles with more info. Since only WP:NOTABLE topics get articles, only notable proposals would be included here. Of course that applies only to failed/future mergers. Those that did occur can be included anyway since they're real history. Abjiklɐm ( tɐlk) 15:28, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
I'm honestly done with this page. People keep reverting edits and being stupid about it.
There is a move for Australia and New Zealand to unite. I'm sick of you people, bye - The2016 The2016 ( talk) 19:06, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
Should we add the proposed " United States of Europe" as a current proposal? Martin Schulz, who was the president of the European Parliament until one year ago (and still leads the SDP in Germany), recently called for establishing such a country within a few years. [2] [3] [4] A recent YouGov poll also found that about 30% of Germans and French support a U.S.E. (with roughly the same number of people in those countries opposed to it). It seems that while there are no official talks/negotiations about establishing a U.S.E. (as the Bloomberg article definitely shows), it's a real concept that has sizable support at least in certain parts of Europe. -- 1990'sguy ( talk) 16:16, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
No, as it need significant support (of population, media, politicians, numerous calls, and if about numerous countries it has to be in all/majority countries), serious nagotiations,(especially if there in numerous countries), clear time schedules, and serious prospects not just wishes especially about big number of countries forming one in some continental level, never happened before and we don't have a crystal ball or so to know would it happen. At wikiedia there is no advocacy or promotional content too. Enough to be linked under see also etc. WP:NOT 109.93.167.132 ( talk) 19:42, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
Floated at least as early as 2010. Actively discussed at least since 2012. Parties with Wikipedia entries in yue.wikipedia.org and opening advocate this are not represented in the legislature as at 2018. Flags of pre-1997 HK are displayed in many demonstration including the annual procession on 1st July. 124.217.189.246 ( talk) 05:24, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
I don't think that German unification model will work for China and Korea as it will maintain US bases to Soviet and Vietnamese borders, thus creating a threat to Vietnam and Soviet Union. I prefer confederation (as with Hong Kong and Macau) or a Vietnamese model (military conquest and fall of Taipei and Seoul). 94.180.44.53 ( talk) 14:02, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
Frangleterre proposed in 1956 should be mentioned tbh, i'm just too lazy to do it — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.155.230.239 ( talk) 15:43, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
It's unclear to me why this proposed state merger is not included? It's realistic, there is a long and consistent push for it, and it is entirely consistent with the other content on this list. Snooganssnoogans ( talk) 16:43, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
Is the exclusion of Irish reunification consistent with the inclusion of the Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation and the proposed acquisition of Greenland by the United States? TompaDompa ( talk) 10:02, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
I'm inclined to think the inclusion criteria should be strict. When I see a Wikipedia article called "List of proposed state mergers", I expect it to contain cases were two sovereign states merge into a sovereign state by mutual agreement (e.g. German reunification). I don't particularly expect to see separatist movements without or with very limited international recognition (e.g. the Confederate States of America and the Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, respectively), military conquests (e.g. the Indonesian invasion of East Timor), personal or dynastic unions (e.g. the Kalmar Union and Iberian Union, respectively), or anything that requires the qualifier "loose" (e.g. the Senegambia Confederation). But most importantly, I don't expect inclusion to be decided by editors on a case-by-case basis – I expect there to be explicit inclusion criteria and inclusion to be decided by WP:Reliable sources.

Interesting video. Should we add the following proposals:
3. Ireland & Northern Ireland
4. Cyprus & Northern Cyprus
5. Republika Srpska & Serbia
Personally, I am a big fan of state mergers. I think it is the way to go in future international politics. State mergers are generally beneficial for both countries, especially for those landlocked states merging with their nearby coastal brothers. Landlocked states just have too many disadvantages, this type of unifications will benefit the likes of Belarus, Bolivia, Burundi, Kosovo, Moldova, Rwanda, South Sudan, and Uganda greatly, although the unification of Albania and Kosovo is less likely to happen due to Serbia’s opposition.
The ultimate goal should be one world one country with a global government. 120.16.213.168 ( talk) 03:14, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
I think that the proposed Atlantic Union should be added to this list.

Addition of the Pacific Union a proposed development of the Pacific Islands Forum, suggested in 2003 by a committee of the Australian Senate, into a political and economic intergovernmental community. The union, if formed, would have a common charter, institutions and currency.

The Successful? column in the tables in this article seems to suffer from recentism. Eg, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) lasted for 69 years and is listed as successful while the Polish–Lithuanian–Muscovite Commonwealth lasted for 84 years but is listed as unsuccessful. I suggest this is a result of the USSR having existed only recently. Robert Brockway ( talk) 00:23, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
A user is currently edit warring with me over whether Armenia and Karabakh should be included or not.
This list features the quasi-state Northern Cyprus and the occupational republic of Crimea. By this logic, should the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, which like the other two unilaterally declared independence not be on here?-- 217.149.166.11 ( talk) 16:01, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
... that despite the fact that it has not been recognised de iure by any other State than Turkey, the TRNC exist de facto as an independent State exercising all branches of State power on its territory[1] Crimea was an Ukrainian republic, that joined Russia with referendum, however I can't see how Enosis, supported by Greece and illegal junta of Cyprus, was an actual merger plan. Miatsum doesn't seem a merger plan either, but an irredentist concept. Beshogur ( talk) 16:08, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Btw, the "illegal junta of Cyprus" is just as illegal as the Northern Cyprus occupationIt's UN definition, not mine. Also why does Anastasiades meet with an illegal leader?
So, NKAO and the later republic also functions/ed like an actual state.do you have a source that Artsakh functions like an actual state?
Artsakh is heavily dependent on Armenia, and in many ways de facto functions and is administered as part of Armenia. However, Armenia is hesitant to officially recognise Artsakh.Beshogur ( talk) 16:25, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
I told that those two regions Srpska and Flanders are irrendetism as well. TRNC is not unrecognized, but not sure why you brought Annan Plan here? Beshogur ( talk) 16:42, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
originating from sovereign states or organizations, to quote the lede of this article, then it can be included. If not, not. No such source has been presented so far. Also: What about avoiding whataboutism, per WP:OTHERCONTENT. -- T*U ( talk) 16:49, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
On 28 May 1975, the Interim Provincial Government in Bougainville agreed to secede from Papua New Guinea. This caused a three-way impasse between the Government of PNG, the legislature in PNG, and the authorities in Bougainville. The PNG government attempted to resolve the situation through June and July, but failed. The Interim Provincial Government announced that they would declare independence on 1 September, ahead of Papua New Guinea's own planned independence day of 16 September. On 1 September, they issued the 'Unilateral Declaration of Independence of the Republic of the North Solomons'.
They sought international recognition through the United Nations, but were unsuccessful. They also failed in an attempt to unite with the Solomon Islands. In early 1976, the Bougainvillean government realised that they would have to accept Papua New Guinean sovereignty.
Israel and Palestinian views on a binational state are not included in this list? is there a reason for this? other partially regognised states are included if so what is stopping other proposed mergers such as Morocco and Western Sahara from being included? 2001:8003:9008:1301:A89F:AC30:C0BB:8559 ( talk) 08:00, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
The above addition to the list, accompanied by a source, was removed from the list while other proposed mergers as unlikely as the merger of St Martin remain on the list. Reasoning? I’ve added it back onto the list. Frenchmalawi ( talk) 01:00, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
As for this, I'm really not sure I updated the Russian Federation to include all its contemplated expansions. Although some of it is proposed unification, it is partially irredentism as Russia claims, and seeks to occupy territory which they consider "lost" (or "unredeemed"), The scope of this definition is occasionally subject to terminological disputes about underlying claims of expansionism, owing to lack of clarity on the historical bounds of putative nations or peoples. I have left it for now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thingsomyipisntvisable ( talk • contribs) 18:58, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

In 1947 the American Secretary of State, George Marshall announced the Marshall Plan to help economic recovery, economic integration, and business-oriented modernization in Europe. Large sums went to France and Germany, which helped restore trade and financial relations. The Marshall Plan recipients set up the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC) in 1948.
The idea of a Franco-German federation was a proposed merger between France and Germany after the end of World War II. The idea was promoted by French politician Robert Schuman in his declaration on May 9, 1950, which is now celebrated as Europe Day. The aim of the proposal was to create a lasting peace between the two countries and to promote economic cooperation.
The Franco-German federation proposal envisioned a common government, currency, and military. It also sought to establish a European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), which would integrate the coal and steel industries of France and Germany. The ECSC was created in 1952 and was the first step toward the creation of the European Union.
While the idea of a Franco-German federation never fully materialized, the proposal laid the foundation for the European Union and the close cooperation between France and Germany that has been a driving force behind European integration. Today, France and Germany are considered to be the engine of European integration and have played a key role in the creation of the European Monetary Union, the Schengen Agreement, and the European Stability Mechanism. 88.111.79.23 ( talk) 18:50, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

This list features the quasi-state Northern Cyprus and the occupational republic of Crimea. By this logic, should the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, which like the other two unilaterally declared independence not be on here?-- 217.149.166.11 ( talk) 16:01, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
... that despite the fact that it has not been recognised de iure by any other State than Turkey, the TRNC exist de facto as an independent State exercising all branches of State power on its territory[1] Crimea was an Ukrainian republic, that joined Russia with referendum, however I can't see how Enosis, supported by Greece and illegal junta of Cyprus, was an actual merger plan. Miatsum doesn't seem a merger plan either, but an irredentist concept. Beshogur ( talk) 16:08, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Btw, the "illegal junta of Cyprus" is just as illegal as the Northern Cyprus occupationIt's UN definition, not mine. Also why does Anastasiades meet with an illegal leader?
So, NKAO and the later republic also functions/ed like an actual state.do you have a source that Artsakh functions like an actual state?
Artsakh is heavily dependent on Armenia, and in many ways de facto functions and is administered as part of Armenia. However, Armenia is hesitant to officially recognise Artsakh.Beshogur ( talk) 16:25, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

On 28 May 1975, the Interim Provincial Government in Bougainville agreed to secede from Papua New Guinea. This caused a three-way impasse between the Government of PNG, the legislature in PNG, and the authorities in Bougainville. The PNG government attempted to resolve the situation through June and July, but failed. The Interim Provincial Government announced that they would declare independence on 1 September, ahead of Papua New Guinea's own planned independence day of 16 September. On 1 September, they issued the 'Unilateral Declaration of Independence of the Republic of the North Solomons'.
They sought international recognition through the United Nations, but were unsuccessful. They also failed in an attempt to unite with the Solomon Islands. In early 1976, the Bougainvillean government realised that they would have to accept Papua New Guinean sovereignty.
Israel and Palestinian views on a binational state are not included in this list? is there a reason for this? other partially regognised states are included if so what is stopping other proposed mergers such as Morocco and Western Sahara from being included? 2001:8003:9008:1301:A89F:AC30:C0BB:8559 ( talk) 08:00, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
The above addition to the list, accompanied by a source, was removed from the list while other proposed mergers as unlikely as the merger of St Martin remain on the list. Reasoning? I’ve added it back onto the list. Frenchmalawi ( talk) 01:00, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
As for this, I'm really not sure I updated the Russian Federation to include all its contemplated expansions. Although some of it is proposed unification, it is partially irredentism as Russia claims, and seeks to occupy territory which they consider "lost" (or "unredeemed"), The scope of this definition is occasionally subject to terminological disputes about underlying claims of expansionism, owing to lack of clarity on the historical bounds of putative nations or peoples. I have left it for now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thingsomyipisntvisable ( talk • contribs) 18:58, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

In 1947 the American Secretary of State, George Marshall announced the Marshall Plan to help economic recovery, economic integration, and business-oriented modernization in Europe. Large sums went to France and Germany, which helped restore trade and financial relations. The Marshall Plan recipients set up the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC) in 1948.
The idea of a Franco-German federation was a proposed merger between France and Germany after the end of World War II. The idea was promoted by French politician Robert Schuman in his declaration on May 9, 1950, which is now celebrated as Europe Day. The aim of the proposal was to create a lasting peace between the two countries and to promote economic cooperation.
The Franco-German federation proposal envisioned a common government, currency, and military. It also sought to establish a European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), which would integrate the coal and steel industries of France and Germany. The ECSC was created in 1952 and was the first step toward the creation of the European Union.
While the idea of a Franco-German federation never fully materialized, the proposal laid the foundation for the European Union and the close cooperation between France and Germany that has been a driving force behind European integration. Today, France and Germany are considered to be the engine of European integration and have played a key role in the creation of the European Monetary Union, the Schengen Agreement, and the European Stability Mechanism. 88.111.79.23 ( talk) 18:50, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
