- We make each state it’s own country.
- We divide the country based on region or time zone.
- We make the country one big non contiguous country and eliminate the states.
Option #1
Each state being it’s own country. First of all, which states would need to send “delegates” to other country states. I can’t think of the word. Emissary? No. Shit. Why can’t I think of the word?
Import export taxes would be awful.
I couldn’t easily travel to see my family. They are Oklahomans. I’m a Kansan. Now. I guess. I need to look at my passport.
Not every state would be self sufficient. California, New York, Minnesota, Oregon, & Washington would need to be pretty altruistic states. Probably Texas too. I can see Texas just being an asshole and isolationist.
I don’t like this idea.
Option #2
The west coast and east coast would be really a utopia of flavor. They would be called West America and East America.
The south would be really difficult to live in. We’d call it “Medeckastan” or “JesusIsLordastan”
The Midwest. Probably the same. All of it could combine and just be called Minnesota. And they’d all have to learn the accent and the culture.
Ohio would need to be it’s own country, but rename it to “Plain America”
Florida and Texas. Also still their own country. They’d keep their name. BUT, I’d like to see Texas and Oklahoma combine to form one country, just for the funnies. The Red River. Not important anymore! Oh man, that would be hilarious. It would even have the coolest name. Texhoma!
New Mexico And Kansas could be the same country. They don’t touch, but I feel like they’d be the same. We could combine with Colorado and be contiguous.
I don’t like this idea.
Option #3
I really like this idea, but identity of the state you live in is just so fun. The sports teams are awesome to follow. The NFL only has a couple teams that are named for the state they reside, but that shouldn’t matter. I actually think in terms of identity the city you live in is the most important. The county you live is most important to you as an individual as far as government services. They are just small enough to be effective in managing the cities they contain. Keep the counties. Keep the cities and towns of course. They can’t be combined. Get rid of the states! Those are just causing so many issues.
I don’t like this idea. I love it! But it won’t happen.
I guess we HAVE TO have a war. Maybe Pakistan can come over and stabilize the region.
AMBASSADOR!!! That’s the word I couldn’t think of!!! Shit!
OH OH OH!!! Think about all the competitions we could rename! Ms Universe. The Super Bowl as a world championship! How does that make sense? Ummm. Soccer! It could really be called FUTBALL! We could make the decision as a country!
