Imagine if all of the U.S. States were taken over by a revolutionary movement, establishing a new Capital in Nowhere Kansas, and the only remnant of the Old United States was Washington D.C.
D.C. would basically be Taiwan in this analogy. Everyone else in the world knows the U.S. through the Government in D.C. It ain't perfect, but it's the most accessible I think I can make it.
- mytailorisrich 4y agoIn your analogy the US government would be moving to Nowhere, Kansas and the revolutionary movement would have taken Washington D.C. The only remnant of the "Old US" would then be Nowhere, Kansas and its surrounding. I think it would be closer to the situation in China if that revolutionary movement had taken over all of the continental US with the government fleeing to Hawaii.
- salawat 4y ago...You are correct. Took a second to click though. The dangers of early morning analogizing. And actually, the Hawaii bit is incredibly appropriate, seeing ss they were forcibly annexed by the military of the Government in exile. That may cause hilarity to ensue.
