Except that we have all the farmland, forests, water, and mineral wealth, and more than a little of the power generation capacity.

We can buy our food, resources and everything from other places, like, well Canada. As for the electricity, we can build new plants if we need. Finally, as for water-well, that is where red states are screwed anyways. A place like NYC gets its water form renewable rainfall. The plains and mountains get most of if from non-replinishable aquifers.

I don't know if you have seen this map.

Red/blue state map adjusted for population density.

There never will be seccession. You're in this union 'til the end of time. Right or wrong.
Furthermore, I will personally kill the first SOB that tries to lead and implement it.

I hope I'm not the only one who hates those stupid ****ing population density maps. HURR WE CAN MAKE A POINT OF SORTS BY MUTILATING EVERYONE'S SENSE OF PROPER GEOGRAPHY HURR

I don't see how Canada would help you, you would just involve them in a short civil war, and after we are done detroying the Blue states, should take about a week, we will have conquered Canada the next day.

Not possible-- The country is far too big



--- Oh and that population density style map is hilarious. Some of the midwest states seem to be squeezed into tiny little boxes

Okay, two days after

Yeah because last time when you guys tried to take on the North you did so well.

Oh wait...

You know there's a reason why we won the Civil War the first time.

The map is a grossly innacurate portrayel of relative population sizes of the states. Look how large Minnesota and Wisconsin seem to be in comparison with California, New York and Texas all three of which have many times the population of either wisconsin or minneosta.

If there is a civil war, I am stuck on the redneck side of Minnesota.

Depends . .. what is the top speed of and M1A1 Abrams ?-- Include refuelling stops now. I can't see there being enough paratroopers to occupy even a significant fraction of the country so the big limitation is on how fast the American troops can drive. You should plan on avoiding places like Calgary and Toronto in the morning since rush hour can really slow you down.

Also while Canadians don't have handguns like the Americans, a LOT of people have rifles and are frequent hunters. Ground troofs could face harssing sniper fire.


Oh Canadian ground forces ?? . . . well they would capitulate immediately when our tank wouldn't start.

sorry DP
