I agree. This is probably the best way to relate the situation to someone in the US. No one would take you seriously here if you proposed splitting "blue" state

I agree. This is probably the best way to relate the situation to someone in the US. No one would take you seriously here if you proposed splitting "blue" states into a separate country and proposing a split there seems equally far fetched.
- a8da6b0c91d 13y agoSplitting up the United States is a perfectly reasonable idea and a lot of people take it seriously. http://www.moreright.net/splitting-apart-the-united-states http://www.moreright.net/splitting-apart-the-united-states
- protomyth 13y agoGiven how integrated the economy and land use is, it is not a reasonable idea in the near term. If you actually were going to divide the US on a red / blue split then it would be more appropriate at a county level[1] and would result in a bunch of city-states and one big land area[2]. 1) states are not really granular enough given the existence of "battleground states" and what that means for election divisions 2) LA and SF might want to buy a desalination plant fairly quickly
- a8da6b0c91d 13y agoThe split is not red-blue. There are distinct regional cultures in America that might be called nations. Scroll down and look at the county map in the link. Read "American Nations".
- protomyth 13y agoYeah, I saw the MN combined with ND and realized whoever researched it (I do believe the original map is a Russian professor) has no real clue on modern American and is looking mainly at immigration patterns.
