I have been trying to picture for years what the map of the new countries would look like.
The problem for the liberals is... their coalition is divided by the whole middle of the continent. If the country broke up, the North East would be cut off from the west, which would I assume lead to at least 3 different countries (a western liberal one, a north eastern liberal one, and everything in the middle and south joining Texas to become the new conservative nation. No idea what would happen with Hawaii and Alaska.
I have been thinking a lot of that, because on the average and I could be wrong, a large strong country only lasts say, or an empire, for say 250 years?
The liberal western coalitions access to the Colorado river
The status of nuclear facilities mostly located in the conservative coalitions territories.
The massive amount of federally owned land in the western part of the conservative coalition.
which side the rust belt states join and possibly Virginia.
the status of Hawaii, Alaska, and other various territories (I assume Alaska might want to join the conservative coalition, but who knows.. maybe they might just want to go it alone like I suspect Hawaii would)
The 2 liberal coalitions would be left with nearly no energy or agriculture resources, and the western one would be in dire need of water that it is fighting constantly over with the conservative nation.
Pretty much agree but WTF do we do with Illinois?
And the Chinese control the Panama Canal.....
Alaska - Independent
Hawaii - China
Chicago - Crips, Bloods
Detroit - Hell

I have described what I think -could happen- in this post, put up some time ago:
