American Balkanization Thread -

[981]

Build your own: https://mapchart.net/

This thread's purpose: Discuss how, in a US Balkanization event (civil war), how many pieces the US would split into and what the orientation of said pieces would be.

Mine:

Only doing this by states since I'm lazy, but it's important to note, as an example, that eastern WA/OR are basically Idaho and have nothing in common in the coast; many of these disparities exist.

I'll leave it to Null for a good subtitle.

Give Alaska back to Russia, give Aztlan back to Mexico, give the territory of the Louisiana Purchase back to the French, give everything else back to the British. Problem solved.

as far as political-oriented breakups go you can't beat the 2004 salt classic: Jesusland.

Why do American liberals always simp for their northern neighbours? There are plenty of areas of Canada (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, etc.) that have far more in common with American "red states" than they do with California or Oregon.

Because Canada is the land of the blessed "free" healthcare and that means that they're super liberal and will accept their wayward southern comrades with open arms.

I'm no expert in American regional identities but I think that this is a somewhat possible balkanization map.

They're foreign, but not the murderous kind of foreign like Mexico.

We can't have a proper Balkanization thread without Forward Observer and his 'Breaking Down 'Civil War 2'" series:

Patrice Oneal already did this with the superior "United Areas of America" system.

That one is a classic but I don't think Canada would like to have Chicagoland.

 

[DeadFish]

It will break down along geographic lines as roads and highways decay into nothing.

The great lakes region might become the new seat of power.

Retard larp shit. It isn't going to ever happen.

Are you serious? Our government and media we worship black people here and would jump at the chance to throw money at rehabilitate Chicago ghetto dwellers.

Because Canadian values are based on anti-American contrarianism. The US has had a relatively strong right-wing for the past 50 years so Canada goes left, meanwhile during the progressive & New Deal eras in the States we were an Imperial lapdog run by an occultist who viewed Hitler as a Wagnerian hero (though he wasn't a fan of all his policies) and told the boat of Jews fleeing the Reich to fuck off from our white man's neighbourhood (still rated by historians as our greatest PM) . Also we herded the Injuns into mandatory residential schools until the 1950s.

I've always said that in the event of a hot civil war Hawaii, New England, Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands would secede. The US mainland would split into two big tent factions and the war would end in with a mutual peace in the first 2-3 years. And I see this as the most likely (and most realistic) because that's what happened with Russia. The non-Russian groups split off to form their own nations while the Russians divided themselves between left and right and fought it out.
I also doubt that any type of secession or balkanization would happen peacefully.

It will eventually happen, it has to. You can't have one government ruling over a split population where one half constantly wants to kill the other and can't even agree on a basis for reality. However, the economic situation has to get bad enough that people can't eat first.

 

[Shield Breaker]

Not endorsing anything, just for fun.


SO helped with the names.

Yeah it's just not going to happen.
