Yes, if we have to suffer so should the rest of the country.

Fuck yeah. United in misery, we will become stronger overall.

I'd just split up the states along previously attempted secessionist movements and retroactively annex a few places.

There's a map that has outlined the bordergore I want to achieve, let me see if I can find it.

No, if I wanted to speak the language of the weak I'd learn real, traditional French from mainland Europe. :p

1. Give Texas it's old borders
2. Rig every state so that it won't have a population of more than 20 million (Except Texas)
3. Partition California between Oregon, Arizona, and Nevada, with the coast being annexed by America
4. Unite North/South states + West and East Virginia.

There, done.

Why do you call Utah East Virginia?

Bold move to diss New Jersey. They used to have a governor who would shut down a bridge just to spite you and eat everything in your fridge. I sure wouldn't mess with that guy.
