While we know of countries balkanizing, is there any such thing as lower-level balkanizing? Like, some regions within a province balkanizing, becoming their own province while still staying a part of the same country, a neighborhood within a city leaving the city and becoming its own city, while still remaining part of the country, etc.
Nunavut was separated from the Northwest Territories as a compromise on First Nation land claims. You could maybe count Kosovo and Vojvodina separating from Serbia, because Serbia was part of Yugoslavia. Though only nominally at that point
