    California, Arizona , New Mexico & Texas offer the maximum land, surface area, coastline and cultural incompatibility, but the true partitioners choice is Montana, Wyoming, Colorado & New Mexico to chop this fucker in half. The wall is built and we're it baybeee 😎

      All those lakes and the Mississippi will be valuable in the coming water wars

      They laughed at our obscenely cold weather for years! Well who's laughing now? We've got lots of water and a future temperate climate!

    CA, OR, NV and WA all suck ass. I'm picking NY, NJ, PA, and OH. plenty of agriculture in Ohio, ore in Pennsylvania, good geographical diversity, port access as well as access to two of the great lakes, relatively mild climate in the summer. huge economic output from Pittsburgh as well as NY + Philly and their suburbs in NJ, and Ohio has three comfortably sized midsize cities (Cincy, Columbus, and Cleveland) that have really solid growth potential and underutilized industrial infrastructure from the American heyday.

    i don't understand why leftists have such a love affair with California like jesus christ it's full of shitlibs and people with god complexes and you need a car to do anything. there's no pretty architecture and as soon as you go just a bit inland it turns into either a goddamn desert or a barren steppe

    TX, NM, CO, and OK because when they combine it just looks like a bigger Texas. Mega Texas baby!

    PA DE MD VA. The twist is that I want to live in the country that excises those terrible places.

      lol. That's super funny since I chose DC, MD, VA, PA as my four to live in. Delaware can fuck off.

        I would actually love to live in PA again, but I would sacrifice it if it meant getting rid of all of the DC and natsec people.

          I like DC because of the museums and mall and stuff. It's a great city in a lot of ways, like walkability and park land. I think the natsec would sort of disappear by definition if it broke away. (And on the flipside, if it stayed a national defense hub, but for protecting new Hexbearistan from the 46 remaining United States of Capitalism, that... might be a good thing.)

    My state is going to be so fucking long. 2906 miles from El Paso TX to Chincoteague VA. Why? Fuck you, that's why.

    NY, NJ, and PA should put aside their differences, and VT you're coming home.

      This was actually my answer! Being near the ocean is nice and I prefer north east weather

      In a few decades those states could have a mini Mediterranean climate, with Lake Michigan as a freshwater inland sea.

        The lakes aren't big enough. It already gets to 90F and 90% humidity on way too many days in the summer. If you're like 500 feet or less from the water it's noticeably cooler but that's all you get.

    By breaking away TX, OK, MO, IL you can split the country and control all east/west freight. Also possible with NM, CO, WY,MT but you probably want Texas because you need at least 1 state that makes money.
