With all the division, maybe it's time to go our separate ways.
"Hey, it's not you, it's me"
"Well, it is mostly you, but I'll say it is me, so you won't go away made"
"Alright, it is you. Just please go away and leave me alone."
"No...no...you can keep the soy latte, I have my porterhouse steak and beer."
"Now you're just embarrassing yourself, just please go away."
After decades of division in America, there has been more and more talk about splitting up the country. The last time we had this much division, we had a war and the only thing is proved was that there isn't really an exist plan outlined in the Constitution. There are guidelines on how to add more states, but if a state did want to leave and create their own silly rules, nothing states how that can be done.
Well, there is a simple logical reason for that. When the colonies sent representatives to form a new union, they knew that they must stick together or Britain would just simply pick off each colony one by one and put them back into the fold. This is why we ended up with the 3/5ths compromise, in order to get the southern colonies into the union, but not give them extra representation for their non-voting slave population. This plan worked for some time and kept us together through the War of 1812, but then things fell apart and we ended up with the Civil War, because leaders in the southern states did not believe "All men are created equal".
Interestingly enough, the current illegal immigration issue is causing the same fracture among the states. Local city governments and some states have decided to give sanctuary to illegal aliens. The Constitution clearly states that the Federal government has the power to determine citizenship.
To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
It is clear, except those trying to provide sanctuary, that those who enter the country without proper verification are here illegally and must leave and attempt to reenter through legal means. 100s of thousands of people enter the country legally every year and get citizenship status. To those who are against illegal immigrants residing in the country, it is simply that we are a country of laws and that everyone should abide by those laws. If we are to ignore one law, then what is the next law that we will ignore.
Those who want to protect those who are here illegally, like to point out that we are a land of immigrants. This is not true, as we are a land that was colonized and settled and then became a nation. Before the colonies, there was no established nations in the Americas. Indian tribes disputed over territories and most did not lay claim to land or sold land to the arriving settlers. Now that a country has been established, then those who enter should follow the rules or we do not have a country. If we do not have a country, then we should not have a government that collects taxes and then distributes it to others.
Anyway, since there has been talk of California leaving and such, I decided to draw a new map of the United States of America. Some people have drawn these maps by simply cutting out certain states. Mostly the western and northern states. I have decided to be a little more exact.
American Redoubt and the State of Jefferson
Splitting off from California is not a new thing. There have been many proposals for splitting up California into several states. These proposals usually follow the trend that due to how the population is spread out, those near the capital have more power than those in the more agricultural land of the north. The same issues have been found in states of Washington and Oregon. A movement has been in place for awhile to form the State of Jefferson
We the people of the 23 counties of Northern California, hereafter known as Jefferson, formally demand an immediate Article 4, Section 3, (U.S.) state split. We declare the State of California is in open rebellion and insurrection against the government of the United States.

On the other spectrum, there have been people who believe that there is no saving the United States of America as a whole and they just want to be in a spot that they can control with the Shit Hits the Fan (SHTF). When The End of the World as We Know It (TEOTWAWKI) happens, then these people will form their new country. Most of this is located in the northwestern territory, where the populations are small, which means that the possibility of government control is even smaller. They have called this area American Redoubt, which began around 2011 and was dreamed up by author James Wesley Rawles, a former U.S. Army Intelligence officer and mentioned in his book "Patriots".
Because of these two movements, I have create two new states and made sure that those ares were included in the New United States of America.
West Cuba and EastAsia
At some point, you just have to give up. Hawaii was ill-gotten and probably no longer serves as a strategic military location. If it did, we shouldn't have given independence to the Marshall Islands. So, they can now be an independent state that will be quickly purchased by Japan. Sorry for Japan, since they already have tons of issues.
As for the southern portion of Florida. Well, we'll just give it to escaped Cubans, since they probably own most of it anyway. They can finally declare war on Cuba itself and take that back over.
South Vancouver and New North Mexico
As I stated, nobody wants California or most of Washington and Oregon. Heck, if we could cut out Austin and stick it in with those, we would do that was well. Mexico wants most of what they lost back, so let's give them some of that land back, it was going to crap anyway. Canada can have what is left of Washington and Oregon.
What's left, that doesn't go to Mexico will be the new state of West Texas.
South Cuckistan and New Venezuela
There are just parts of the mid-west that just don't belong. Chicago, for one, is a place that no area of the mid-west really wants. Since the loonies in Minnesota are north of that, we might as well cut off a chunk of that area. I used rivers as boundaries to help carve out the area that needs to go.
The same goes for the New England area. There are portions that aren't as bad as New York, but we can't save everything. So, using river boundaries, I cut out the socialist paradise for the socialists to make a mess of. The good thing is, once the mini-ice age sets in around 2030, everyone up there will just freeze to death because they will have outlawed energy production.
Welp, that's my map idea.
What do you think?
Let the positive energy sing!
More Power to the Minnows!!
