Summary

The argument concludes that it’s impossible to satisfy a recommendation that regions with many Caronian-speakers be allowed to form an independent, Caronian-majority nation. This is because Caronian-speakers live in scattered areas that wouldn’t fit into a single continuous border without including a majority population of non-Caronian-speakers.

Notable Assumptions

The argument disqualifies the idea of a Caronian-majority nation on the basis that such a nation would be impossible within a continuous border. This assumes that it’s impossible to create a Caronian-majority nation with a discontinuous border—that includes several disconnected regions.
