If the U.S. dissolved, what state would you go with?

[Stormopolis]

Either North Carolina or Ohio.

One to find a friend, the other to find a love.

[Quokkastan]

Texas would be the best option BY FAR
They have tons of money, the fastest growing economy in the usa, the fastest growing population in the usa, tons of oil and other natural resources, and their own military.

None of which will help them against North Dakota's ICBMs.

If they can figure out how to launch them.

America's nuclear program has become... lacking, to say the least.

If the U.S. dissolved into 50 independent countries, what state would you obtain citizenship for and why?

This is just out of curiosity. Let's assume you could only claim citizenship through birth, relation or current residency. What state would you like to have citizenship for despite any such restrictions? Would it be for political/family/economic reasons?

I'd like to have Florida citizenship but I probably only qualify for Maryland or Oklahoma citizenship based on birth and residency. My mom probably qualifies for Ohio citizenship by birth and relation.

I'd like to have Florida citizenship because that's where I grew up and the economy and natural resources are sufficient. It's possible we'd end up in a union with the weaker southern states to balance New York, California and texas which would probably dominate the region.

Connecticut. I like living there. But Most likely, it wouldn't be 50 independent states, as many would merge to form larger, and more economically capable nations. For example, New England would become a nation, with the capital being Boston, but Hartford being a city of importance. New York would probably become its own state, probably taking New jersey with it, and the capital being Albany, While Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland would probably form their own, likely with the historic Phillidephia as the capital. The states surrounding the great lakes would probably merge with Chicago as the capital, and the southern states (minus texas), would also do the same, centered on Richmond as their historic capital, but South Florida may become its own independent nation, centered on Miami. Texas would become independent, Possibly taking oklahoma and louisiana with it. The midwest would become its own large state as well, likely with the capital being Lincoln Nebraska or something. The west would probably form a nation, minus california, based in seattle. California would become independent. Alaska would either join Canada or become independent, and Hawaii would become independent.

[APPALAtCHIA]

New York. I want to be in one of the few states that would likely be able to maintain an independent economy, but I hate the weather in Texas and California.

[South Naples]

Alaska, we can't be threatened by other states. And if we did, We would join Canada

[United States of Natan]

What's Canada gonna do? politely protest when you get invaded?

[New confederate ramenia]

Which weather in California? We have a lot of different climates.

[Jamzmania]

Texas.

[Crettia]

I would go to Texas

Most likely one of the states would invade the other states and reunite the Nation

But Canada and Mexico will also try to split the USA between themselves.

And Hawaii would easily just stay independent. Just like before the US annexed it

I mean unite with Canada beforehand.

No one would mess with them. Their flag is the color of blood, and their symbol is a sword with nine blades!

lmao

A splash of blood on a ground of snow. Frightening to some, but perhaps just a nosebleed.

Probably respond as a unified nation with a cohesive military rather than a mongrel mess of fifty bastard children no longer unified or cohesive.

Then maybe adopt some of those children. Teach them "please" and "thank you". And hockey.

[The Last Stars]

How would Minnesota do?

The Mall of America could count as its third biggest city. The states got food and iron to sell so should be fine

It's a good thing that I live less than 5 minutes away from the MOA.

So would Minnesota be like the kid Canada should have, instead of the US?

Probably. To be honest, I wouldn't mind that Minnesota joins Canada. After all, I already act pretty Canadian. :/

The only real difference is a matter of scale (in natural resources), and the cold being a little worse.

Depends on what part of Canada you're in. Most of the populated areas of Canada are actually pretty comparable, if not a bit warmer.

A consequence of the jet stream tending to dip down into the middle of the continental US, and the temperature stabilizing effects of large bodies of water.

Mexico doesn't seem like it'd be in any shape to go invade anyone. Canada might be able to absorb some of those pussy Northern states, though.

[Leistung Empire]

Eh. I already live in Wisconsin, so I probably would just stay. Anywhere else would be too hot, or at least doesn't interest me.

(Note that the following image doesn't reflect my beliefs. I just forgot that I had it.)

[Free Missouri]

I'd stay in Missouri because we are the only state with nuclear fuel/weapons production plants, nuclear weapons sites, AND nuclear power all rolled into one. We also get the B-2s. Oh, and did I mention we also have some large reserves of uranium under us? and we have lead for bullets and radiation shielding, limestone which is good both for building above ground and makes it easy to dig out large bunkers and whatnot. And the US's CBRN Program and supply depot is at Ft. Leonard Wood.

And, if we absolutely had to, we could take one of those nukes and detonate them deep underground to totally destroy Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, and parts of Alabama. Meanwhile we'd just move all our people up into the limestone hills where the makeup of the rocks lets the vibrations dissipate without any major damage.

We'd have control over the two major rivers as far as agricultural and coal transport goes, we'd basically control northern Arkansas's major water sources. In the event of a major levee-breaching flood we could keep up our spillway and bring nearby states to their knees, We have the military division of Boeing headquartered in STL, and, finally, we produce the best craft beers and the best wine in the US (suck it Napa valley. we provided france with grapeseeds when their planets were ravaged by disease. French wine is actually Missouri wine.)

Fuck. With. Us.

A thought occurs: nukes can't do that.

[Alvecia]

Oooh, tough one. One the one hand, being a straight, white, male would probably get me a shit ton of extra privileges down South. On the other hand however my atheism probably wouldn't go over too well.
