I predict we’ll head to a Holy Roman Empire or Snow Crash style of federated fragmented powers that in aggregate we can call The United States but in reality it’s a bunch of jockeying nobles and oligarchs.
Maybe it always was, and the US Revolution was to allow this by tearing down unitary monarch power.

Fractal balkanization isn't exactly a winning move and there is a reason why a unified Germany became a significant power above and beyond its most bellicose states.
