the south/midwest would thrive.

the north and west would become all eurofag and shit.

Probably none of them.

utah could possibly become the theocratic nation of "deseret", as the mormons originally intended. but i feel like so many mormons lack devotion and would prefer staying secular.

in any case, i'm sure utah would thrive from an economic standpoint. utah has plenty of brilliant scientists and engineers, powering the technology and medical industries. and a good amount of natural resources too.

Washington would probably split up after breaking off.
Western washington is the liberal capital of the world with a handful of libertarians while eastern washington is right as fuck.

No idea how they would fair economically. Eastern has all the exports (grain, cherries, apples etc) so they would be fine. Western would fuck itself over with healthcare and other liberal bullshit

Michigan Master Race

Texas, Louisiana, Cali would fail, New York, Tennessee, and maybe Florida

Nevada and Arizona would probably end up forming militias to take control of the Hoover Dam, whoever ended up controlling it would effectively rule the Southwest and make California its bitch. It's probably the single most valuable resource in that entire region.

This is a significant consideration.

The Untied States is home to an interesting cultural dissonance that divides the cities from the rural areas.

Seattle is a particularly arrogant, chauvinistic urban area that is quick to raise it's proverbial bridges. I could actually see them scrambling a coast guard and attempting to become a city state.

These political dissonances between urban and rural would be significant in other areas as well. Southern Illinois has more in common with Kentucky than it does with Chicago and that state might not be able to mend that divide in the wake of a failed Federal union.

Things like this start becoming complicated when it's time to consider railroad property and rights of way or rights of way and juris dictions along the Mississippi and it's ports.

A lot of regions would have to hit the ground running on their plans to make nice and trade.

Currency issues would be interesting to watch play out.

The border states would have a nearly inevitable resolve to form their own union and I think they'd be quick to invite Alaska into that wealthy union.

California would not be annexed into MExico like some here seem to dismiss. It might be in danger of fracturing but Southern California would quickly find a comfortable role among the emerging union of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. I'd say those states would form a union that would be pretty attractive other states.

Problematic nation states in the former continental 48 would likely be,Northern Illinios and Michigan. If their Federally dependent urban areas began ransoming their routes along important rail lines they would wind up getting invaded by their neighbors who depend on good faith negotiating for interstate shipping. Georgia mgiht be another state that has some civil uhnrest it has to sort through before it can stabilize and trade can normalize.

Water rights issues would come into play as well. Alabama, Georgia and Florida have a water cold war already

Pennsylvania, and probably all of the original 13 colonies...maybe

>>34691511

California would become africa tier

MI would break on peninsula lines, but would probably be bros anyway.

Might not New York depopulate without international banking? Without a nation of 300 million held hostage it would no longer hold the same attraction to international bankers and beyond that I fail to see it's utility. New York would fade into irrelevance. I think the vestiges of global trading would return in the silicon valley, whatever nation state they were a member of. Assuming they didn't become a powerful city state. Shit, Google can field an army of drones. They might not have any interest in joining a small burgeoning nation.

Most of the lower midwest states would thrive. They have the farmland to sustain themselves, a good amount of oil, and large cities for white collar jobs.

Texas and Louisiana would be fine. A large part of the South's problems are a result of the feds not letting us do what's necessary to keep the negroes in check (we still do a better job managing our diversity than Yankees and Californians). If Louisiana's whites weren't constrained by the federal government I'm betting that places like New Orleans would become much safer and more attractive places to live (segregating the schools alone would do wonders for the economy since we could attract young people who want to start families).

>>34697340
Hawaii would turn into a shithole, would be at risk of invasion form enwly remilitarized Japan.

I think Florida is a wild card. It seems like it could be a really wealthy little nation state or the next Congo.

Texas probably has the most potential to thrive considering how diverse things are there. Big open fields of nothing, ranches and farms out the ass, major cities, oil rich, Gulf of Mexico and the port of Houston shipping a ton of shit, he'll it even has it's own electrical grid. Most other big states seem to heavily depend on other states in order to make whatever it is they make or do.

California would be the second most likely to succeed in my mind but with the way things are going right now it wouldn't last long, especially with this major drought. They would go poor just by buying water and the major depopulation that would occur/is occurring.

If California can remain united (borderline impossible, imo, would require Bismarck-tier bullshit), it would fucking rek everything but Texas. It would face stiff competition from Cascadia (maybe outright invasion), but eventually they'd have to work together to beat Utah/Deseret.

I live in California, and as much as I would love to see us come together under one state, it simply wouldn't happen. In southern California you already have the blacks and the mexicans fighting EACH OTHER, which is weird since they both feel oppressed by white men, but whatever. Then in the north you have asians who have all segregated among their various chingy chongy languages. And surrounding everything is uninhabitable desert. Also, a few pockets of rich white people who could afford to cut themselves off from society. And an ocean -- a fucking ocean -- of liberal college students who have never actually worked a day in their lives.

The other states already hate us. Given the choice, they would probably block trade with us. We have some natural resources, that's definitely true, but it's not enough for all the fucking people we'd have to feed. Once the masses began starving, there would be riots, and you know the rest.

Seattle is New China, and with Tacoma nearby (Little Somalia) you'll get a daily dose of spearchuckers and rice farmers. Sure there's white businessmen, but there's also the shitty white liberals who crawl out and cumblast you if you're any race but white. Also avoid NWF and Cascadia Now! propaganda you'd see in the city. Both are shit, the difference is one is for a white Cascadian nation, the other is pretty much a SJW Tumblrina run hipster group.
You'll be around a lot nice things though, the water, the malls, all that city shit.
BUT there are plenty of small towns in Washington that are closer to the cascades and away from the cities. I'm talking closer to Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, and the rest of the glorious cascades. So pretty much anywhere South of South Hill/Graham and East of Centralia.
Sure you'll be far from the city and stuff (closest small town to anything that slightly resembles a city or town is 30 minutes away), but you'll essentially be innawoods. That means easier access to hunting, fishing, camping, plenty of public access lakes, forest service, and all the good stuff that comes with innawoods.
Over the Cascades it's pretty different. Woods aren't as lush, and it's mostly farming and rolling hills. As for cities Yakima is spic land, but it's still nice, Spokane is your best bet for a city out there. I don't know much about the small towns out East. It's all pretty conservative compared to the Western Cities.

OR you can save yourself the trouble with all that and do whatever you wanted to do in Vermont or New Hampshire, I don't know shit about those states.
I lived in VA for a couple years, pretty shit experience.


tl;dr If you move to Washington stay the fuck away from the peninsula and the Puget Sound area, come to the woods or go out East. I don't know fuck about the East coast apart from VA.

Spokanite here. There's nothing more glorious than being in a 90% white city, with rich farmland to the South, mineral rich wilderness to the North, and natural waterfalls right in the middle of the downtown area, all with an urban area of ~300,000, if you include the various towns that got engulfed by our city.

>>34703457
This shit's been addressed. There are some adversarial urban areas that would be able to field a reasonable defense force and go full nation state. There are others that would sustain a good rapport with their rural areas and keep their state in tact and lend stability to their region and then there are those idiot cities who would crumble under the corruption and piracy of local nigger warlords. These places would be invaded by strong, adjacent states with an interest in keeping ports, rails and highways open and safe for interstate commerce.

>>34703744
Like this guys says, the cities would have to abandon a great deal of their attitude and decadence on day one of a collapse.

Except he's wrong about California. People from outside California usually are wrong about California. There would be numerous wild card states in the wake of California's collapse but one of the strongest new nations would assuredly include a huge portion of the former California. IMO anyway.

In all honesty? Most US states couldn't go it alone for various reasons, mostly related to massively interlinked economies and power grids and so on. I expect that you'd soon see new federations forming, probably roughly along the lines of the Nine Nations of North America:

- New England
- The Foundry

- The Breadbasket

i don't disagree that there are different cultures existing in CA that have different views, especially when you compare the rural parts of CA to the more urban areas like los angeles, but the fact is that CA is in more debt than the states in the area that consistently vote red, such as arizona and utah. of course fresno is different than los angeles.

you're also forgetting that politics in california and texas are vastly different. california is more closely related, politically, to nevada and new mexico, while texas, arizona and utah are generally on the same page. not surprisingly, texas, arizona and utah also have less debt per capita than california. i wonder if there's a correlation...

sure thing. china has been in debt to the US since WWII, however, they defaulted on the debt and we did not "collect" the debt. after EO6102, when the feds seized gold from american citizens to move away from the gold standard, we gave a fuck ton of it to china to stabilize their economy. not only that, but we also had the federal reserve give the chinese government billions of dollars to help inflate their economy, and american investors also spent a fortune on chinese government bonds to support the war effort. china has repaid $0 of the economic efforts america helped china with. anyone who has followed history knows that china cannot do anything to the US.

sorry, these conversations get heated when leftists tend to think they're more essential to the US, when their only commodity is propaganda.

you're absolutely fucking insane, leftist. with the resources and labor force arizona has and the general political ideology of each state in question, there's no question AZ would rather side with TX over CA in a civil war, and TX would likely be happy to accept a state with the most lenient gun laws, plenty of farm land and work force providing affordable (and tax free) food to the population, and large resource of precious metals.

if you think TX would just give up their rightful claim to alliance with certain western states, you're absolutely insane, and this is after i consider recent political differences between each state (which arise from federal laws)

true, but a drought in the west also doesn't mean we have no access to water either, it just means it hasn't rained in awhile and if we run out of reserves then we'll have to spend a little more importing water, no big deal

>>34708053
>rural Californians and rural Texans would have no issues joining forces against the cosmopolitans
i don't doubt this, but, based on recent political trends, it would appear that urban california has more of a voice than rural california, and that the true voice of texas is louder than urban texas. that's what my assumptions are based on.

although you may be right to say that true voice of each state may topple the urban areas, though in california it appears to be unlikely, much like nevada with the vegas influence, which is why i brought vegas up in the same place.

While not all of them are, a lot of southern states have had their economies in the shitter for decades and this is in spite of far less regulation then the northern states they're always sucking the teat of like parasites. They'd rife with poor people. I think they'd fall apart without the wealthier northern states always bailing them out. Again they already have far like government regulation, oversight, and union stuff and this hasn't helped them one bit.

I'm from Los Angeles and I am not a leftist, am not non-white and I can tell you that Southern California is very confusing to people who aren't from here. There is nuance that can't easily be nutshelled.

California would balkanize. Los Angeles would still maintain it's level of regional influence. It's nothing like your Chicagos and Minneapolis and NYC or any of those leftist metros. Save for blacks (who've actually decreased by over 2% in numbers and been scattered from their former strongholds) and the limousine liberals in Malibu, L.A. is as conservative as Arizona or Texas. Northern California would be left to it's own devices but Southern California, in my opinion would be drawn to any suggestion of an alliance with the Southwest region. It has more in common with the Southwest and Texas than it does with Northern California. Even Central California has more in common with that region than it does with the Bay and the North.

i lived in part of the area during the rodney king riots in a wealthy, upper class, white neighborhood. you are right that parts of the area are generally conservative, especially the area i lived in (i had a black man try to break into our neighborhood that had a catholic church and the neighborhood was surrounded by a barbed wire fence, he nearly died during his attempt and my catholic father weened him back to life while he was bleeding to death while all of our neighbors pulled out their arsenal more threatening than the arsenal the SWAT had).

what you say might have some truth to it, but i still cannot deny the overwhelmingly apparent election results of the area. maybe the neighborhood i lived in wasn't a fluke and that all affluent neighborhoods in the area are similar, but i don't buy it. southern california would need to prove itself, like it did up until the 50s in national elections, before i buy that conservative states in the area would ever support the real population of the area.

The south would immediately toss the constitution cuz it was made by a bunch of yankees which wore wigs and such then impose some fundie bible version of sharia law. The northwest and some of northern CA would do fine supplying weed to the rest of the country. Kansa, Iowa, Idaho, the farmlands band together with Colorado in charge of the armed forces and arms manufacture. Mississippi, Louisiana default to niggers.For 90% of FLA nothing changes. The I-95 megalopisis-from Boston to Atlanta including NYC would make an alliance. A lot of politics and infighting but would stand against outside threat. Would make treaties with Europe first.Chicago Detroit Gary and Flint become Nation of Islam. It's decided to let it stand for containment purposes. Tejas goes to war with Mexico. Forever.
