Yes the US should defederate from itself. In fact I think a perfect map of the US is broken down not by region or state, but by county. Break the US down into small bite sized chunks so that it has no choice but to fight amongst itself until the end of time

Turning the US into a much larger version of the HRE with infinitely more guns is such an interesting concept.

Yes, long live the People's Commonwealth of Pennsylvania! We will take back the Philadelphian suburbs of New Jersey from the yoke of imperialist New York City!

The city-state New York City tried to intervene, but they realized they would have to cross into Jersey and the Neo-NYPD armed forces were thrown back.

The Pittsburgh Pirate and the Perogi mascots have launched a surprise attack across the Ohio border, hundreds dead

Illinois and Ohio shouldnt be with Indiana, KY or TN. KY and TN should be with the south, and Indiana should be a nuclear testing dumpsite.

Ohio isn't with Indiana or Illinoise astronaut-2

Ohio conquered Indiana and Illinoise astronaut-1

Ohio is the epitome of the south, they all go together

I mean I do NOT see myself as Southern in the slightest (Cincinnati Ohio)

As an outsider who goes through a lot, we just see it in different ways apparently

having lived in KY and Ohio, no it isn't the same(although rural areas of america all the same at this point, but i only live in major cities).

Sometimes in Ohio i would vote for something, and it would actually win! That shit doesn't happen in KY even as a lowly Democrat, never mind being leftist. Ohio still has weed and abortions, it's about 10 years ahead of KY.

Most of my family is from kentucky, and they are pretty much all stupid as fuck. I have a shitload of aunts and uncles and 2 of them are Democrats. All from KY too.

(not sure what you mean by outsider though. i would guess that means you don't live in the United States but i could be wrong)

If you took the Northern chunk of IL so Chicago and Rockford were in the MN/WI/MI Republic, it would kind of make sense. Southern Illinois is basically Kentucky

[-] Cummunism@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

yea that is true, Illinois is Chicago and then everything else.

Since we're already making a beeline for it, just follow the Fallout timeline

13 super-states, to represent the original 13 colonies

Also, annex Canada

My proposal:

A map of language families of the Contiguous United States prior to European contact

sicko-yes

No we should keep our federal government. That said state lines are arbitrary and should be redrawn to balance the population. Honestly we could get away with 7 or less districts rather than 50 states.

Problem with that plan is it lacks any D2A
