      It’s technically South Coast, about 500 miles south of Texas (and 400 miles east of Alaska).

      Probably within the next ten years, but not now. More geography based political movements are needed, and in turn those movements need to offer something to people (jobs, better economy, reduced cost of living, etc.), not just rhetoric.

      The more I look at it it does feel like an RTS campaign map like a Total War Series.

      The West Coast Alliance is easy mode as it only has to fight in one direction for nearly the whole game, you scoop up unaligned territory and your first real opponents New Mexico and Colorado are already fighting each other and small. Once you get to the Midwest the other 3 factions are large and duking it out and you know how to play the game.

      New England is the moderate mode. Good defensive area but you have to Squash rebels and have two strong opponents in Florida and Illinois before matching the Western Alliance in terms of power.

      Illinois and Florida are more hard game modes. A challenge but once you get certain territories you can lock in.

      Colorado or New Mexico are the very hard challenge modes. Quickly Squash your neighbor, before the Western Alliance attacks, fight really hard to beat them only to have Florida or Ilinois nipping at you.

        They would definitely be allied, imo. They have a ton to gain with an alliance, similar starting political values, similar geography. NM gets access to the Denver airport and military bases while CO gets access to the Mexican border. They’d both have much more to worry about from Utah and Texas than from each other.

        Minnesota will start out with Illinois. You take wisconsin ASAP to form a contiguous border, then work on Michigan.

        West Wisconsin near the St. Croix River valley is deeply forested and quite hilly. It wouldn’t be easy to take down

          West coast holds that territory and beefs up defenses at the Cascades/Sierra Nevada’s, and maybe a bit farther (as is reasonable.

          Cede the territory to make peace with one adjoining country and get the new economy started while the other factions figure out something more complicated.

        Have you heard the story about the libertarians and the bears? It’s a story that… this website would probably love. Chuds don’t want to pay taxes for municipal services or pay directly for proper trash disposal, which results in bears causing problems for the chuds (and some innocent townspeople who didn’t want a “libertarian experiment”).

          Lol yeah. Grafton NH. The book was A Libertarian Walks into a Bear I believe

          I feel bad for the people who lived there first, their town got destroyed by these buffoons. They disbanded the fire department, and all the roads fell into extreme disrepair

            Yeah, I haven’t actually read the book, but I have heard the story. Been keeping an eye out for the book, though. Don’t want a proper source on this badly enough to order a book brand new online, would pick it up used if it turns up at my city’s annual charity booksale to support child literacy (probably my favourite thing about this place, if I’m going to buy books used anyway, might as well do a majority of my book shopping once a year and have most of that money I’m spending go to a good cause) or a second hand book shop or general charity shop.

            I do feel really bad for the ordinary people who were living there first and wanted nothing to do with the libertarians.

            I hear stories like this of political extremists getting together to overwhelm an extremely small town, and I’m like, hey, if leftists weren’t so fractious and disorganized on Turtle Island, maybe we could do the same, and at least our policy aims wouldn’t screw over the existing townsfolk, but if we ever did such a thing, the feds would be on it in a week flat.

      Depends. If you’re in one of the regions, less bad health advice so good. If you have money against balkanization slightly lowered payout odds, so bad.

        Who’d be stupid enough to bet against American balkanization or civil war right now?
