How would you divide the states?

Into independent nations? This came up in another thread.

Here's mine. Alaska would be with the libertarian-minded states (Arizona, Wyoming). Hawaii would be an independent nation.



Southern Blue:
       Confederate States of America
Northeastern Red:
       Canada
Western Red:
       United States of America
Eastern Gray:
       Combined State - Wisconsin
Western Blue:
       Combined State - California

The Confederate States would probably fast become the richest country. The United States would probably crumble pretty soon for lack of cultural identity.

California, of course, would become like Europe, by tyranical rule of a couple cities. Wisconsin just becomes a mediocre country.

I like this arrangement:



I think that this would move the Blue area to a possition very close to mine politically.  I included some more Liberal states such as IL, Maryland, Michigan and Washington, because I wouldn't want the country to swing to far right.  Given this arrangement, the new Blue country would be just right of center and the "New Politics" would form around that center.

The new Red country would be a Social Democrats paradise until they taxed the Hell out off all sources of revenue and are invaded by Quebec.

California would just sort of exist.

California is very conservative except for two cities.

The solution is to require 1/5 on acre of land to vote. I'm telling you, it works...

That is correct
