Hawaii
West Coast
… I guess?
It’s technically South Coast, about 500 miles south of Texas (and 400 miles east of Alaska).
It’s the furthest west and most coast to land area ratio of all
The westest and coastest.
Hell yeah! Anti-government governments!
cmon, balkanize already
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.
Gotta put that energy into instigating another color revolution. The CIA makes it look easy.
this is what it looks like from the inside
florida will be the first state to mandate all restaurants and grocery stores replace seed oil with pure beef tallow
West Coast Alliance is the Faction you play in the tutorial
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.
New Mexico and Colorado are already fighting each other and small
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
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.
Mexico in Vic 2
except in America: Vaccivil War you also have to fight against your own population that constantly wants to die from medieval diseases and will protest any attempt to build up infrastructure
West Coast Alliance will have a significant domestic terrorism problem that increases the closer it gets to the Rockies, though.
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.
finally, a different map
I suspect this will combine with abortion care to fundamentally separate healthcare systems in the US.
I’m curious how much of an effect brain drain will have as time goes on. Why would a doctor choose to move to a place where practicing medicine might get them arrested?
Until conservatives once again use the federal goverment and supreme court to overrule states they don’t like, just like what slave states did prior to the civil war.
Last time they did that it caused a civil war, so, you know… Here’s hoping lol.
Great, I’m gonna have to change a lot of stuff in my horribly self indulgent commie fantasy revolution novel I’m writing. The existing blurb references a “Second American Civil War” that’s supposed to be fictional…

And gender affirming care.
They’ll need to. Planned parenthood being defunded means 1/4 of abortion clinics are at risk of closing down
Civil War (2024) yeh, i watch theory
It’s really funny new Hampshire doesn’t join. They feel so out of place within their region.
The state motto of Live Free or Die should really just be Die
Live free and die of cranial road rash
Libertarian brain rot exclusion zone
Brother, you are understating it
Had someone threaten me when I made a joke about them selling little copies of the US constitution at the gas station
Forces from New England need to squash the fifth column of libertarians there or their campaign will be hampered from the start
Yeah, I’m annoyed that Vermont didn’t join, too. Too many Vermonters trust Phil Scott, and I’m guessing this was up to him.
Vermont made it in. They just didn’t make it in time for the press announcement apparently lol.
That tracks.
Apparently they are a part of it
In the very brief amount of research I did, there was basically one line about COVID vaccinations and Vermont basically said “Oops, we were doing other stuff”.
Vermont was high.
Yankee Portugal cyka blyat
Careful there comrade, someone’ll call you a Russian bot for saying that.
I’d love to see the mfer who comes to hexbear to call me a Russian bot
ah shit, gotta get to a free state
Nurgle’s Garden?
In other news, we’re also bringing back slavery!
YOU’RE A DOCTOR FOR FUCK’S SAKE THAT’S WHO
What is with black conservatives comparing everything to slavery?
I wonder if it does not make slavery seem a little matter.
I wonder if it does not make slavery seem a little matter.
stupid, bought and paid for, or both.
And what does it mean to drip with slavery?
When you’ve got that Calvin Candie drip
Apparently it’s a WarHammer thing?
Nurgle is the Lord of Decay/Rotfather/Grandpa of Pestilence and one of four major Chaos gods who exists in realms beyond reality for each franchise (Warhammer 40k, Warhammer, and Age of Sigmar). His home planet/plane of existence is referred to as “Nurgle’s Garden,” a place where he resides making up new diseases.
Yeah, I read theory.
quick somebody make a hoi4 mod
Second time in a month this image has been relevant to me, which has me slightly concerned
Lol, I remember this game, it is pretty fun.
Starting as the Illinois Khanate looks hard but once you’ve got the rest of the great lakes you’re basically unstoppable.
Wtf what about NH and Vermont?
NH is a chud state
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.
So when’s the HOI4 mod coming out?
i wish i could do more then just edit existing mods in console or notepad+
is this a good or a bad thing
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?
No clue, please let me know if you find them I want some easy money from a bet.
no more usa is good
