edit: “Balkanised” is probably the right word, partition means to divide territory between two other states. If the US did break apart in pieces (probably in some sort of dystopian/everyone is going to die world), i wonder if other countries will try to nab bits of it (e.g. Britain regaining their colonies, Mexico regaining their lost territories, Spain regaining Florida, or even Russia taking over Alaska)

note: I am not advocating for the partition of the US, it’s just fun to think about new countries! Also, I’m not American and have never been there so I have no clue about the different cultures in the different states.

If the US broke up into multiple pieces in some way or another, what new countries would you want to appear? (with and without considering for the feasibility of such new countries) What would their relations be like with each other and with other countries?

Personally, I would think New York (the city) becoming an independent microstate would be kind of cool, like the Vatican City of the stock market. The idea of “Cascadia” (which, to my knowledge, includes California, Oregon, and one other I forgot the name of. I think a bit of Canada too. The west coast, right?) could be realised, and with California, they would have a very beefy economy, as well as Silicon Valley. An independent Alaskan state could also be interesting, especially since they have a cool flag. Same goes for Texas.

    The supposed slur of being cisgender is something that was made up. That term was coined by the LGBTQ+ community as a means to refer to someone who’s a biological male or biological female who doesn’t want to become debauched and join the LGBTQ+ community (there are legitimate reasons why one wouldn’t want to do that, like for myself as that’s a mental illness).

    For taking the Creator’s name in vain, while that’s a good way to describe it, it has to do with making it mean nothing. Most Christians would not like that explanation I gave… at all, and would use a different one that Rome made to brainwash them. It’s ridiculous when you look into it.
