A government based on numerology can’t be any worse than whatever the fuck is going on right now. I support it.
If we had zero states, we’d really be indivisible.
The United of America
If you wanna go that route, The of America is more accurate to the current situation…
Well, not if we unite all of our
There’s a bigger chance of The Beatles getting back together 😄
Wouldn’t that make everyone else indivisible by us? I think the military would like a word.
But we wouldn’t be one nation anymore, we’d be zero nations.
“One nation, indivisible; except by itself and one.”
And we all agree who that “one” is
Harmonica hands: “No, I’m not!”
This is a prime example of how it should be the prime directive for the country to reach a prime number of states. This can be taken on as the prime responsibility for the prime minister (if you had one…you should make one).
Canada is killing it. We added Nunavut a while ago to make 13 provinces/territories and continue to have a Prime Minister.
United Kingdom: recreate the English heptarchy, keep Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland as separate things, and then give London autonomy too. Now we have 11 that are all of a similar scale. Cumbria becomes part of Scotland and Cornwall becomes part of Wales to account for the parts that weren’t in the heptarchy. If Northern Ireland unites with the rest of Ireland, we create a united body to represent the crown dependencies and overseas territories and count that as the 11th
I’m onboard with this plan.
Oh well, the number of states in my country is at least a square. Could be worse.
Throughout US history, all of our battleships have been named after states, except for one: USS Kearsarge. The original ship of this name during the Civil War hunted down and sank the confederate raider Alabama and since that time the US Navy has ensured that one commissioned ship always has that name, I guess as a giant lasting “fuck you” to the confederacy. The battleship Kearsarge was commissioned in 1900, ruining an otherwise-perfect ship naming convention.
For this reason I support making Puerto Rico into a state - as long as they change their name to Kearsarge first.
That’s really cool! The company I work for just make some equipment for them!
Or, hear me out, take those 3 and drop 6 states to make 47. I’ll leave it to the readers to decide which 6.
Can I drop Florida twice
It was nice having a gulf coast
Nah we have to keep the mouth of the Mississippi, it’s too economical.
If I was going to keep one, it would have been Louisiana anyway.
whichever would separate east and west, just for shits and giggles
Give Texas back to Mexico, then invade it for the oil.
Idaho is just sitting there, not doing much of anything . . .
Ah you must be working in marketing. Or just stirring shit for fun.
Mergers would work, too. Turn some of those tri-state areas into mono-state areas.
Or, or! You drop 3 to become 47 states in their prime. Which would you pick?
Texas, Florida, South Dakota (just to fuck around).
Drop Hawaii by giving them back their independence
Fuse North and South Dakota into one big, irrelevant state.
We could just give the Dakotas back, we clearly aren’t using them
Or (and bear with me, I’m high as fuck on ketamine, so this might be all complete bonkers) the US could go into a revolution, decentralizing states, remove the rich and the controlling corps, set up support so anyone has access to food, drinking water, a roof, heathcare, education so people actually have a chance in life instead of being doomed from birth because being born poor.
Or you could fund the police, protect the rich, exploit the poor, fuck the world. Which is basically what the US has been doing so far. Maybe doing that with more states will break a record or something? Go for it! You go girl!
Revolutions tend to maintain the status quo just changing the rulers to those who can keep the friendly facade a little bit better
Those problems must be solved but revolution will probably hardly gonna help
Yeah but it gets delayed for a few hundred years.
Organizing revolution in the country this size is pretty much impossible.
Well if that’s true, there’s no reason to keep the second amendment. But right now it feels a lot like America screams “no! We want the most of us to starve! We want school shootings, it’s a part of our culture! We don’t want to give up slavery, we are responsible slave owners! I want to decide what women are allowed to do with their body, I know better then them!” (yes, the US still has slaves. They ended slavery, with the exception of incarceration. There are prisons where people are forced to work without pay).
I don’t care. The United States has been the main perpetrator of countless war crimes across the world. It has been born out of slavery, its land is built on the Natives that were once thriving, it has forced territories under its laws without representation, it has been an apartheid state with white people ruling over colored people, it has installed countless dictatorships to protect its economic interests, its “democracy” is a sham and the Netherlands did it first, it is chiefly responsible for crimes against peace and humanity in Vietnam and Iraq, its citizens are subject to total surveillance while many of them have a lack of water, food, and shelter, its government is bribed constantly by price-gouging corporations, it will gladly use military equipment on its own citizens, and it has strived against democratic elections that are inconvenient. The United States ought to be split up into all of its independent states so the world may be free of its tyranny.
Do you think 50 mini USAs with nukes would be better? Or would there be a couple decades of war until one state more or less took the same place?
I mean right off the bat the old CSA club will get back together. And Imagine the Pacific Northwest and California will work together. No individual state in the Midwest has the economy to stand on its own so they’ll probably work together, leaving the remaining states to work together or be conquered.
Plus entities like the CIA and FBI and corporations will still exist and exert their influence.
