Divide the contiguous US into five independent countries

[monkspider]

If the United States had to be divided into five independent countries, how would you go about partioning it?

Here's a couple for starters.

1. California
2. Texas

Or you could go for the "Greater California" option which would include Oregon and Washington.

yes! i have supported this idea for a long time. california as its own state would be better for california i reckon rather than being part of the US.

Of course adding in washington and oregon would be good too.

I'd rather take over Canada, overthrow the government, and declare myself Lord Protector of North America.

But...

3. New England
4. Old CSA (minus Texas)
5. Midwestern alliance.

Great Plains: No mans land.

Christian States of America-"Bible Belt" and Utah (ala SMAC)

New Europe-New England states going all the way to Minnesota

West America-California, Oregon, Washington State, Idaho, Arizona.

Midwest America-Montana, Wyoming, Dakota (North and South become one state), Nebraska, Iowa.

Texas Republic-Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma.

Hawaii would become part of the UK, become an independent kingdom again, or be part of Japan.

Alaska would become it's own country.

1) New England (+ New York + New Jersey + Delware + Maryland)
2) CSA (SouthEast + Texas + Oklahoma)
3) Great California (California + Oregon + Washington + Hawaii + Alaska)
4) Federation of the Rockies (including the SouthWest - except Cali, of course)
5) Midwestern States of America (Plains regions + Great Lakes region)

Lemme rephrase it.

Great PLains: battlefield between the Forces of Satan in Las Vegas and the Forces of Good in Denver. They fight in the plains because they're too lazy to hike the mountains.

Why stop at five? You might like the People's Collective, ms.

2. The Central Directorate: The Old Northwest, Missouri, and Kansas, Tennessee, kentukcy and notrthern Georgia (Atlanta Metro)

3. The Western Directorate: West Coast, Arizona, Nevada.

4. Greater Plains: The Great Plains states down to Oklahoma, NM.

5. The New South: the leftovers.

Hooyah Texas destroying The American Nation.

Strangely enough, I had that same idea today.

The only good states are California, New York, and Hawaii. I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt to Washington, Oregon, and all of the tiny ones in New England, but the rest of them are filled to the brim with loonies.

U.S. breakup

New England--everything north of Maryland
Confederacy--the old south except Texas
Agraria--the plains states
Great Lakes Federation--the Great Lakes states
Texifornia--from Texas to Southern California
Ecotopia--the Pacific Northwest and Northern California
Homeland--the Mountain states
Alaska--Alaska

California has to beg for water either from Colorado or Washington.

If I have to divide up the US, I would:

1. Original US
2. Canada and Alaska
3. Quebec
4. Mexico
5. Oversea protectorates

This quote made me laugh: Most North American nations treat Texas like nitroglycerine: with great caution, lest it explode violently.

Gives new meaning to the motto: "Don't mess with Texas."
