Honestly I'm here for a CA/OR/WA Western seaboard alliance. Hawaii can go back to being governed by natives but can ally with us.
3.6t + .3t + .73t = 4.63t using 2022 nom GDP
Which would make the Western Seaboard the #3 economy in the world.

Cascadia, my dream is Cascadia.
I think some of the northeastern states could likely form a similarly powerful and cohesive country.
Alberta can join Montana and the Dakotas if they hate Canada so much.
Maybe BC could join the Western Seaboard, too.
It'll probably never happen... but who knows? The relative stability of countries and international borders is a recent phenomenon.
I'm all for this too. The Western landlocked states would be screwed not having access to the Pacific ports as well.
Nah they can have access.. for a price.
Laughs in Colorado
That's a nice Imperial Valley agricultural industry you got there, it'd be a shame if we just dammed the Colorado at the Utah border.
Unless CA could convince OR/WA to give them more water, the inland states are critical for freshwater here.
