I fond this rather funny. It's purely a joke of course, but this guy tried to divide the European Union into 28 countries of equal population.
I think an additional restraint is that the resulting countries should be more or less culturally homogeneous. I don't think he's done this that badly. For example, I'm originally from the North of my own country. I often feel that culturally we have more in common with the North of Germany and the South of Denmark than with the West of the Netherlands. At least linguistically.
I think similar maps have been done with equipopulous states for the US.

Looks like the sort of thing that could go on the Random Tangents thread, as it's quirky but not likely to engender much discussion, so I'm moving it there.
