I'd be totally onboard with the PDRGC. Then we can start a decades-long simmering tension with HolyPalmettoLand over the border regions. And Charleston. I vote that we annex Charleston and a thin corridor of land to allow access to it. This is totally a good idea and in no way parallels a certain Baltic city starting with a D.

Wait a second, if this nation breaks apart you people in the more southerly directions are gonna be killing each other instead of coming after us in the border states?  Why didn't you tell us sooner?

Canada would totally take us in if the US died.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

If the US died Quebec would take advantage of the situation to finally break free of Canadian control. And then we are doomed, for the rage of the freed Quebecers would surely burn all of humanity to ash.

Remember our deal, Canada. Don't let them ever get out from under your thumb. The fate of our species depends upon it.

You are tempting me to stage a coup.

[mainiac]

Well if the remnants of the US didn't need to worry about the noisy people in the south coming after them I think we could take care of Quebec.  We'd just team up with the former Canadians to surround them on all sides and give them the silent treatment.  No way out of the silent treatment once you are surrounded.

I'd like to think that California would get off somewhat well if the nation split up. Prop 8 shenanigans aside, we don't have that many conservative crazies, and we've got two strong liberal influences in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Not to mention the vast amounts of farmland we've got.

[FearfulJesuit]

Where's your water going to come from?

[Sirus]

Some of it comes from the mountains...though with these droughts we may have to annex Nevada or something

And then Colorado dams the Colorado River, and everyone in southern California has to start wearing stillsuits from Dune.

Sweet, that's part of the plot of my favorite fallout game!

[Sirus]

I'm sure that Nevada wouldn't mind. Besides, according to Wikipedia California grows something like a third of the country's food supply. If Colorado threatened to cut off our water, we'd cut off food.

Even if we did lose that water however, we still have lots of sources like the San Joaquin Delta and the previously stated mountain ranges. They'd just have to be rationed.

To be honest, if the US goes down, the rest of the world's not far behind. Especially Canada.

And if Canada doesn't go down, Oregon and Washington would probably join them, to be honest.

...

You know, the entire world does not actually revolve around the United States. There are plenty of heavily consumerist countries out there to keep those Chinese factories going, and the whole world turning.

If North America just sank into the sea one day, the world would in fact keep going, even if it would temporarily wreak havoc with the economy.

[Willfor]

And the tsunami that results from the sinking of a continent would do absolutely nothing to all the nations along the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Nothing whatsoever.
