[Harry Potter] Do wizard "countries" always follow the shape of muggle countries?

For GB it kinda makes sense since it's clearly defined by being an island. But what about other countries? Why are wizards politically organized in the same way as muggles? Their history is completely different. 

Having the same language can't be enough, there are many regions in Europe that speak the same language yet are divided by borders. 

At the same time one muggle country could be multiple wizard countries. Italy for example has traditionally been very fragmented so maybe there isn't one Italian Wizard prime minister but a council of (elected) chiefs of many small city states.

I think that's the best answer: wizard "countries" will mostly be divided based on historical precedent rather than any modern borders. For example, Chinese wizards will probably define themselves by province/ethnicity rather than just "Chinese" (depending on what era they take after), African wizards will divide themselves by tribes whose territories don't line up with modern geopolitical maps, etc. Hell, depending on how far back they prefer, the wizards living in Normandy, France might see themselves as a different group from other French wizards.
