Britain In The Late 1940s
The map meme above shows what happened when Britain did and did not fully implement two state solutions to the former colonial holdings.
In the case of the partition of Indian, it was fully divided into two states: India and Pakistan (which was divided into East and West Pakistan).

Map of Rupert’s Land Once Controlled Almost Entirely By The Hudson’s Bay Company
An area larger than India and if it were an independent country today it would be the 7th largest by land area.
It was also almost completely controlled by the Hudson’s Bay Company, the oldest company in North America, or at least it was until it announced it was likely going bankrupt in April 2025, ending it’s 355 year history.
