Прадстаўце што Беларусь ў нейкі гістарычны момант стала дзеліцца не на вобласці, а на штаты. Як моцна гэта бы змяніла Беларусь? Было бы больш плюсаў або мінусаў?

Historically which states does Belarus consider it's predecessor states. Or are there any states that Belarus finds especially significant to their history or development as a country (culturally, politically).

I'd like to use it to guide my personal research and I am genuinely curious. I do apologise if this question is ignorant or makes no sense. Regardless, I appreciate your help and whatever responses are provided to me. Thank you very much!

Or if you have any other details regarding Belarusian history (the resources I've found and have are quite scarce), I'd love to learn more! Again, thank you for your time!
