More of a pebble.
I would prefer if political units were self-organizing and not arranged by leaders at all. In Switzerland, a part of a canton can form a new canton if it prefers or merge with a neighboring canton. This rarely happens, perhaps because the current arrangement is good enough. And the incentive to take an area for granted is minimal.
