You have to get rid of 48 states - which would you keep?

[UrbScotty]

Yours and one other one.

I'd actually merge the Great Lakes and Northeastern states into Michigan, and make the Plains states, Rocky Mountain states, Washington, and Oregon into Colorado, where my aunt lives.

Buh-bye Confederacy; you become a new country.

Give California, New Mexico, Arizona, and maybe Texas back to Mexico. Or, make Texas into a new country: The Free Republic of Texas.

1. Delaware.

;) WillyBrandt. ;)

10. Fair enough

:)

I can take it! :evilgrin:

2. Keep Alaska And Hawaii.

Alaska (R) 3 votes ; Hawaii (D) 4 votes.

Screw the mainland

[terrya]

3. The original 13 colonies.

Get rid of all the others.

I live in Illinois, which with Wisconsin would become part of Canada. I wouldn't mind that. :-)

6. Get rid of 48, not 37.

Or are you going to merge them into two?

[terrya]

7. Merge them into 2. Divide them down the middle. More or less.

12. that would give the south a lot more voting power

that is always a bad thing. I used to mock the south...after living here 3 years I really really dislike the south

4. I would keep North Carolina and Florida.

[JohnLocke]

16. I would, too.

[citizen snips]

17. I love Flordia.

I got family down there, I could not live without Florida.

[JohnLocke]

20. I live in Florida!

And N Carolina is a great state.

[citizen snips]

21. I know.

I go to Orlando and St.Augustine every year.

[JohnLocke]

22. I go to Orlando probably two-three times a year.

5. New York and California

:D

[IronLionZion]

8. Merge PA, New York and New England

Merge the west cost states. The rest are mostly red states so they can have their own country with chimpy as president. I would keep the military and nuclear weapons.

9. How exactly would you merge Washington and Oregon with Colorado...

..without also merging Idaho and Utah into the mix?


As for my answer, I'd go with the Cascadia option for one state and combine Southern California and Arizona into another.

Actually, make that a modified Cascadia, with the Rockies being the Eastern border. Which means we get the Idaho panhandle, once we evict all the NeoNazi assholes and send them to Crawford TX where they can live with their leader.

11. Merge Philly to Maine as one State, and Add Vegas

[woofless]

13. Republic of Cascadia

Washington, Oregon and British Columbia. Salmon, crabs and BC bud. What more could you want?

Woof

[AntiCoup2K4]

19. Don't forget the coffee and microbrews!

Coffee's world famous - though I can't stand StarFucks personally, and there's no better selection of microbreweries in any area of the country than Washington & Oregon. And BC's got the real hard cider which ain't so bad either (not that nasty ass shit like they have this side of the border which is just a glorified wine cooler.

[tarkus]

14. MA and NY

I would merge MA with RI and NY with NJ. Now that would be a great country.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

15. Not in the USA, I get to keep 2

Massachusetts and Hawaii.

[name not needed]

18. nj and florida

[WI_DEM]

23. I would keep Vermont because it is one hell of a progressive state

and Alaska because of its beauty and because large chunks of it have not been developed.
