[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two problems with this. One, geography. It would be at least 3.  California/Oreagon/Washington State and NOVA through New England.  And two, economics. Those states provide most of the US tax revenue. If you think the Deep South, W. VA the Rust Belt, etc have economic problems now, wait until the Maker States leave with most of the US economy. Things might not be great in those states, but they would be a lot worse if the Maker States were not keeping them afloat. What happens when the Maker States leave?  [/quote]

I think that the original poster might well be a Russian troll who's up to no good.

In the real world: the Coastal States could solve any geographical problems by forming a free trade pact with Canada and Mexico.

The central states would have to deal with leadership by crazy people. If they could somehow empower their plain old Bush-Romney Republicans, they could probably replace what they get from the coasts, if necessary, from places like Austin, Texas, and Chicago. Everything and everyone you have in the Capitol Hill neighborhood or Cambridge, Mass. The question is just whether a United Central States of America would nurture places like Rice and the University of Texas or stomp on them.

Along the same lines: UCSA could easily get fruits and vegetables from Mexico, if it lost easy access to California and Florida produce. But then UCAS leaders would suddenly have to be nice to Mexico.
