If the USA had to lose a state...

[Alaisia]

Hey, pointless fun question:

If the USA had to lose a state, which one would you rather it be? And who would you rather we lose it to?


yeah, so i'm bored. sue me

[Innsmothe]

Texas, Alabama or Georgia.

[Felids]

I'm not American, but I'd say lose Hawaii, make it independent.

You'd, of course, get an excuse to expel Obama early, and it isn't like Hawaii actually does anything with its statehood.

California. At least it could survive as an independent country.

[North Suran]

Alaska, for the sake of geographical completeness.

[Scientific socks]

Hawaii.

Its ecenomically unfeasible. As for military purposes you only really need to keep a couple of islands or use allies such as Austrlia or New Zealand or the increasinly friendly South Korea and Japan. There is increasingly little point to spend money on thoes unstable and isolated islands.

It also has the most significant contributions to astronomy on it.

It worth keeping just for that.

Surely Florida, that place is just weird, looks like a penis and, let's face it, mostly old people anyway.

Isn't that way they say about Parliament and Big Ben?

[Abarth]

Alaska, for the sake of geographical completeness.

this. Alaska becoming part of Canada

[Squizard]

Alaska

The ones i dont want to lose:Caliafornia, florida and new york





My catchphrase:Ewww, communisum

Those greedy Canadians will keep wanting more! Next thing you know you'll be handing New York or DC over to them. If you're that worried about geographical completeness then take over Canada! Long Live America!

[Newmanistan]

Pennsylvania.... to Canada. Because then I would be Canadian.

[Georgism]

Texas, Alabama or Georgia.

Basically this.

They've much in common yes,

[Luna Amore]

Kansas, mainly for how awkward it would be afterward.

[The Southron Nation]

Vermont. It has one of the most vibrant separatist organizations.

Another feasible choice would be South Carolina or Texas (my personal fav). All three nations enjoy a healthy amount of natural resources and collective will toward self-governance that would ensure their vitality in a world of competitive nations.

[Weylara]

Alaska, for the sake of geographical completeness.

What about Hawaii? It's still hanging out there.

Losing Texas, California, New Mexico, or Alaska would probably be the best ones to lose (if we had to lose one) in terms of post-separation survival - since each case would probably involve a fairly rapid assimilation into another culture.

Other than that, cutting out most of the other states as individuals, would probably kill the state in question, in most cases. Good for the Union, perhaps - not so hot for the state.

[Schwabenreich]

(Is Australian who doesn't know what is and isn't an American state)

How about Northern Marian Island, Guam, Wake Island or those other pacific islands?

If I had to choose a real state and not an unincorporated territory alaska seems like a sound choice. Canada would look nicer with it.

[Existential_Nihilists]

Wyoming. Simply because I have never heard of, seen or otherwise met a person from that state.

[Feral Land]

The former CSA states, except for Louisiana...I just love Mardi Gras

[Feral Land]

Wyoming. Simply because I have never heard of, seen or otherwise met a person from that state.

Dick Cheney, which only adds to your case of expelling Wyoming from the Union

[Aligned Planets]

D.C.

I hear it's mostly hot air there anyway

[Lykosia]

Hawaii.

I doubt Canada would even consider to take over Alaska.
