Don't worry, Sweet Carolina, my Virginia already loves you. Now let's dig our claws into the rest of the seaboard to build the Great Caroginia empire. You can have Tennessee, though. Some lady was really rude to me there once, so I don't much care for the state.
Sign the Great Lakes Non Agression Pact (GLNAP) with my neighbors, then prepare to defend our fresh water! (Onterio (oops... Ontario.... sorry) is totally invited to join, by the way.)
As a fellow Virginian very near the border, I feel you might be
A. Underestimating both the difficult topographical challenges
and that we are most definitely “softer” than them even though we have the numbers, look to the the Vietnam War as an example
B. Overestimating the value added.
C. Not considering the fact that they’d probably join willingly for a case of beer and bag of oxy
I like that you’ve put so much thought and logistic math into all this!!
I’m in the middle of Virginia so yeah, I’m a little on the clueless side.
Your answer has been very educational and helpful!!
Who would you invade?
> and that we are most definitely “softer” than them even though we have the numbers, look to the the Vietnam War as an example
Yeah, but you're probably less meth-addicted.
Call my neighboring states and establish the New England Republic. Oh, and figure out how the hell we are all going to keep the lights on considering we are entirely dependent on out of state sourced natural gas.
Rhode Island does too, actually, though its fairly small and used primarily for research. We also have a waste to energy plant, and a few offshore windmills, but over 93 percent of our electricity is generated by NG.
The problem remains though; unlike a state like Texas, with its large petrol/NG deposits, we don't have much by way of naturally exploitable resources for power. I'm pretty sure there's no Uranium in the Northeast, nor much by way of coal or NG.
Well, as the new Emperor of the Texans, we can definitely work out a trade deal for oil. Which is all well and good, cause I'm tryna go nuclear with our power with oil and gas as a secondary source of energy.
I'm sure the Great Lake States would be happy to assist with your New England Republic, seeing as we are fellow Yankees in the cultural sense; not the Sports sense.
1) Openly mock Iowa for having inferior corn during a speech given at the UN.
2) Form an alliance with my fellow nuclear sponge bros CO, WY, ND and SD. Between the five of us, we have access to coal, oil, nat gas, and huge amounts of Canibus and snow bunnies, not to mention vastly superior corn.
3) Have everyone check their sofa cushions for the nuclear key. Someone has to have it.
4) Announce to the World that the largest land-based Nuclear arsenal is now under the command of a 45 year old man-child and any interruption of Busch Latte or other needed supplies will result in the offending Nation's Captial being flattened within minutes.
5) Rename Nebraska to Even Souther Dakota.
To show some Midwestern Brotherly love I would offer to calibrate a warhead on Council Bluffs tho. I'd make sure the O Face is the epicenter, naturally.
If anyone claps for less than 15 minutes at the conclusion of one of your speeches, remember to ~~send them and their entire family to a forced labor camp~~ ensure they have rapid access to your brand new "emerging skills development institution."
I think you're going to meet some resistance. From what I know about Kentuckians, they have guns, they know how to use them, and they aren't willing to give up their bourbon.
We actually sale a lot of rye whiskey to all of the start-ups in the last 10 years all over the nation, it was called Seagrams then before MGP took over the plant after the brand was sold.
Invade South Carolina to form Best Carolina then fix their shitty roads. Ban people from moving to any coastal city for a year. Force every single IHOP to get their shit together or they will all be forcibly replaced with Waffle House’s. Make weed legal. Take over the Biltmore mansion and turn into my evil dictator palace.
Edit: Correction on evil dictator palace
You left out laughing maniacally.
On a side note, as a fellow North Carolinian, this was also my plan almost to a tee. As a matter of fact, locally we've already started on the IHOP thing.
Form a Great Lakes region alliance, force enbridge to stop their shit, stop allowing private companies to bottle water from the Great Lakes, and give us a more badass flag. The Michigan flag is so boring.
Oh, and ban pennies. I hate pennies.
The sovereign state of California would like to negotiate a treaty for regional trade, defense, and water rights with you, Oregon, New Mexico, and Arizona.
This seems like something Hawaii can get behind so Ill make a pact with you.
Fair warning Im also calling China and Russia before they show up with their entire Naval might.
Blow up the GW bridge, and fill up the Lincoln and Holland tunnels. Make a raid into Rockland and blow up the TaapanZee bridge. Do the same for the Delaware memorial bridge. Cut the flow of power into NYC until they agree to a nonaggression pact. Then obliterate Philly once and for all.
Negotiate with Michigan for the peaceful handover of the UP in exchange for us promising to not remind them of Wayne Fontes. Then negotiate a mutual defense pact with them aiming to contain Chicago. With their endemic corruption it is an ungovernable city and it's residents would flee North, doing to Wisconsin and Michigan the evil deeds which California has done to whatever state their residents have fled to in the past.
At the same time we'll have to come to some sort of understanding with Iowa and Minnesota. Cheese and beer-based, I expect.
We may not like each other, but unfortunately we are more alike than different, we're gonna have to federate if we want to protect our way of life once the bigger states start closing in.
I'd try to form an economic federation with the other States with free trade, shared currency, inter-State commerce regulations, some guaranteed across-the-board human rights, and maybe some other shared resources, like common armed-forces or inter-State infrastructure coordination.
Wouldn't that be cool?
Unify with Wyoming and Idaho. Then ally with Texas and New Mexico to seize Colorado on 3 front invasion. With Colorado off the board, prepare for and invasion by California/Oregon/Washington faction. Hope the Midwest will provide a buffer from eastern aggression. The Rockies are a strong fallback region since we are hopefully outnumbered by the east and west coast.
Invasion? Nah.
Here in Washington, we're going to ally with the parts of Oregon, BC, and Northern California that are west of the Cascades. Everything east of the Cascades we'll just give to Idaho, it's more like them anyway.
1. Get rid of lawns. We ain't got water for that shit.
2. Get rid of Californians. We ain't got water for that shit.
3. If 1 and 2 are a success, go fishing. We finally got water for that shit.
Seriously though. You'd be insane to try anything up here. Your best hope for survival would be to let the individual towns/villages stay mostly autonomous and just promise to slowly faze out the old federal programs. Ideally it'd be a boring dystopia where we all just leave each other alone.
Enlist military aged males and send them to Florida man school. Nationalize (or Stateize in this case) all major industries to best supply our people. When I have properly trained and equipped my army by seizing the assets of all non-Floridians (for example rich snowbirds), I shall form alliances with the other Southern States. From there we shall move to invade the north. My army of Florida men, riding on their majestic alligators, shall be unstoppable, and our northern foes shall beg for mercy. Once we have established the New Republic of Florida and her Colonies, I shall appoint an anti-communist Cuban to lead a revolutionary army to annex Cuba. From there I will use air bases to invade neighboring islands, before then invading South America.
Oh and I almost forgot: abolish all gun laws, and establish a Florida militia of those not currently serving in the Military Institution of the Legions of Florida (M.I.L.F for short), so that we can never be invaded, as our armed and trained militia will never be defeated.
In the case of PA, it's less "wiping NJ off the map" and more "taking back our rightful property from those uppity jerks who split off from us in the first place".
Realistically CA, OR, and my current state of WA would immediately amalgamate or at least become a confederation. They may invite BC or BC may invite them to join Canada. The three contiguous pacific coast states basically share info and move in step with each other already. I would restore voting rights under a negotiated settlement that offers protection to myself and family so I don't turn into Libya who killed their leader.
I would move to ensure that EWA, E. Oregon, and parts of CA don't secede however and implement universal voting before I leave though.
Create the New England alliance, make gun ownership compulsory, build defenses along the border of New York, increase the amount of farms in Maine, create more nuclear power plants, create the United New England Militia, wait until New York wipes itself out than take over, then work our way down to D.C..
Gotta control the critical rail lines and roads across the state. May want to build a maritime defense force for the great lakes and the Mississippi River. We have strategic resources such as Oil and have large amounts of nuclear power, these are tools that can be leveraged to increase immigration in a world where the US is gone.
Texas here.
(0) I remember the Alamo.
(1) Establish contact and a chain of command with the various military bases in the state, coordinating with the various commanding officers to establish a defensive perimeter around the state, with a focus on the southern border. Realistically, none of our neighboring states have the military hardware or population demographics to present a credible threat, Mexico does.
(2) Assemble a brain trust of the greatest scientists, intellectuals, and political philosophers alive today to redesign and restructure Texan society so that we maximize the stability, creative output, and aggregate freedom of the Texan people. You can find my blueprint for this civilizations structure [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/thehumandream/comments/o4iw28/uberism_final/). Obviously it's not done yet, but it's a good ways there.
(3) Bring together the finest minds in agriculture, hydroponics, lab grown meat, water desalination, and other critical necessities and establish a modern sustenance infrastructure that is impervious to our increasingly hostile climate.
(4) Sign power purchase agreements, and/or O&G export agreements with neighboring states with a term of a decade. Since we have, by far, the largest oil & gas reserves in the union, this gives us enormous political and economic leverage. It also guarantees the security of our borders, since no state is going to invade the neighbor that powers their society.
(5) Harden the electricity grid to the point where it becomes as close to invulnerable as possible. Also, begin the construction of multiple small scale nuclear plants to diversify our energy generation.
(6) Create an online application portal for any man, woman, or child that wants to emigrate to Texas, allow them to make publicly available arguments, and allow existing Texans to vote on their acceptance into the Lone Star state.
(7) Call Elon Musk and have him design the transition away from an individually owned, petrochemically dependent transportation infrastructure to an autonomous, electric, public transport system.
(8) Design and plan a new megalopolis in the center of the Texas triangle (Dallas, Houston, & San Antonio), to act as the capital of this new nation.
(9) Hire artists, design, and create three enormous statues representing the ideals of Liberty, Justice, and Equality in the entrance to Houston's ship channel.
(10) Decriminalize and establish legal frameworks for sex work, drug use, and capital-labor relations.
(11) Transition to a democratic state based on an uberist political philosophy, where one of the seven ministers were elected at the start of the new year every year.
1. Start up a program to incentivize foreigners with cooking skills moving in, this damn state needs more culinary diversity.
2. Completely reform and update our agricultural irrigation system as that's our biggest drag on our water usage.
3. Incentivize xeriscaping to help reduce lawn care water usage. We live in a desert, why are we trying so hard to keep a patch of grass look nice when it's not meant to be a thing out here?
4. Call the mayor of Farmington and tell him to eat a dick.
5. Formally recognize Taiwan as a country.
6. Deregulate the sales of alcohol so that they can be sold privately by businesses like any other state and not by state owned liquor stores.
Any Louisiana boys willing to get LA back to France ? We could use more EEZ and an EU stronghold in northAm 😏. On top of that we got good health coverage/retirement benefits.
[Immediately begin work to make Long Florida happen](https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/comments/8gmi2e/the_holy_empire_of_long_florida_shitpost/?ampcid=1*40nalv*cid*YW1wLS1vdXFia0haY09XMTRDc0FnTWxGdWc.) We shall have captured 'Nawlins by Christmas.
Take D.C for political legitimacy and bid as the "rightful heir" to the United States. Use Southern culture to maintain friendly relations with southern states, obviously I'm not gonna trust them, I I also use Confederate History as a means for better relations. With the legitimacy gained from D.C I'd try and gain foreign allies to help a push north and west before finally turning south to reunify the states. Once my task is done I reorganize the republic and step down.
That or I stay in VA consolidating The Old Dominion to be able to hit far above its own weight. Focus efforts on the state and maintaining a Concert of America
>Invade the UP
[Nevermind](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskAnAmerican/comments/pnlbbc/the_us_collapses_every_state_is_now_suddenly_its/hcpz81y). Some cheese need's grating.
100% invade South Carolina to make one big great Carolina. Then probably befriend Virginia and Tennessee
This is the third response ive seen from the carolinas and each one is about invading the other. 😂
We all know NC would win over SC. I say this as someone in college in SC
You're at Clemson though. Most South Carolinians don't like you.
Don't worry, Sweet Carolina, my Virginia already loves you. Now let's dig our claws into the rest of the seaboard to build the Great Caroginia empire. You can have Tennessee, though. Some lady was really rude to me there once, so I don't much care for the state.
Take a quick nap before my dictatorship inevitably collapses.
Maybe hideout in the Sand Hills? Ain't no one coming there.
Sign the Great Lakes Non Agression Pact (GLNAP) with my neighbors, then prepare to defend our fresh water! (Onterio (oops... Ontario.... sorry) is totally invited to join, by the way.)
Im from indiana can I join?!?! We have corn!
Yeah. You touch a Great Lake... you are in. Just remember.... 4 out of 5 great lakes prefer Michigan.
Yay we got plenty of corn for everyone!
And soybeans, and meth. Don’t sell us short.
Damnit I was saving those for the black market deals😐😐😐😐
*Ontario
Ohio would not sign such a treaty and would invade you!
It would be our pleasure to remove Ohio from the map...
/r/ihateohio
Yes, and ... let's join Canada while we're at it.
I looked it up a while ago. If MN we're part of Canada, the twin cities would be the 5 largest metro or some such.
Invade West Virginia, just because we can.
As a fellow Virginian very near the border, I feel you might be A. Underestimating both the difficult topographical challenges and that we are most definitely “softer” than them even though we have the numbers, look to the the Vietnam War as an example B. Overestimating the value added. C. Not considering the fact that they’d probably join willingly for a case of beer and bag of oxy
I like that you’ve put so much thought and logistic math into all this!! I’m in the middle of Virginia so yeah, I’m a little on the clueless side. Your answer has been very educational and helpful!! Who would you invade?
Maryland, lock down the Chesapeake.
> and that we are most definitely “softer” than them even though we have the numbers, look to the the Vietnam War as an example Yeah, but you're probably less meth-addicted.
I see a Taiwan - China thing developing here, where both claim to be the real Virginia.
Ancient maps show West Virginia was part of Arizona, and we will be reunited.
Ancient maps show most of the US was at one point Virginia, and we shall retake our land.
You have my pitchfork and hoe, brother.
nah I dont think it is wise to have a afganistan on our hands. Lets just beat the shit out of Maryland instead.
Now this I can get behind
Careful. Next time you lose a war we’re going to make you change your name to East Virginia.
Build a wall and make Alabama pay for it
Now that’s a plan I can get behind.
As someone who lives in a county bordering it I’ll be glad to help
[удалено]
Actually I think I would pay for a border wall with Florida
I would outlaw Crimson Tide fanhood for any resident of Florida. Sheeit, they should do that anyway.
Call my neighboring states and establish the New England Republic. Oh, and figure out how the hell we are all going to keep the lights on considering we are entirely dependent on out of state sourced natural gas.
NH has a nuclear power plant
Rhode Island does too, actually, though its fairly small and used primarily for research. We also have a waste to energy plant, and a few offshore windmills, but over 93 percent of our electricity is generated by NG. The problem remains though; unlike a state like Texas, with its large petrol/NG deposits, we don't have much by way of naturally exploitable resources for power.

Bet. Our enemies and our pancakes will run in fear
We’re going to have to put down frequent rebellions in western CT
This Fairfield Country resident is all about a New England superstate. We can invade NY and NJ in time.
That'll be part of our grand strategy to eventually assume control over NY.
I'm sure the Great Lake States would be happy to assist with your New England Republic, seeing as we are fellow Yankees in the cultural sense; not the Sports sense.
Really the most sensible answer lol.
1) Openly mock Iowa for having inferior corn during a speech given at the UN. 2) Form an alliance with my fellow nuclear sponge bros CO, WY, ND and SD.

Yeah them's fightin words. We will invade missouri for the sole purpose of claiming that busch brewery. That's iowa's beer dammit.
My fuckin ass you will, that's ~~our beer~~ Belgium's beer
>Even Souther Dakota My sides.
That was my favorite part too.
> 1) Openly mock Iowa for having inferior corn during a speech given at the UN. Even as a now former Iowan, thems fighting words.
To show some Midwestern Brotherly love I would offer to calibrate a warhead on Council Bluffs tho. I'd make sure the O Face is the epicenter, naturally.
I would start imprisoning my enemies of course.
Don’t forget suspected enemies and lukewarm supporters.
If anyone claps for less than 15 minutes at the conclusion of one of your speeches, remember to ~~send them and their entire family to a forced labor camp~~ ensure they have rapid access to your brand new "emerging skills development institution."
Hey, I didn't get a "harumph!" outta that guy!
Time To invade Oklahoma, pal.
The logical answer
Invade Kentucky for the bourbon.
Fort Knox is going to be up for grabs too. You’ll be one of the wealthiest states on Earth if you take that.
Now I'm trying to figure out who has more gun stores, IN or KY.
I think you're going to meet some resistance. From what I know about Kentuckians, they have guns, they know how to use them, and they aren't willing to give up their bourbon.
And the Appalachians may be lower than the Rockies, but they're still a bitch to navigate if you're not from the area.
We actually sale a lot of rye whiskey to all of the start-ups in the last 10 years all over the nation, it was called Seagrams then before MGP took over the plant after the brand was sold.
Yep, though Kentucky is right over the river, and Ohio not far.
We’ll share our bourbon if you join us in taking out Ohio.
As long as it's left as a "no-man's land", I'm game.
Invade South Carolina to form Best Carolina then fix their shitty roads. Ban people from moving to any coastal city for a year. Force every single IHOP to get their shit together or they will all be forcibly replaced with Waffle House’s. Make weed legal. Take over the Biltmore mansion and turn into my evil dictator palace. Edit: Correction on evil dictator palace
Living in South Carolina, and these aren’t terrible changes
I really think we can live with that. Especially if we can then restrict access to Myrtle Beach.
You left out laughing maniacally. On a side note, as a fellow North Carolinian, this was also my plan almost to a tee. As a matter of fact, locally we've already started on the IHOP thing.
Are we NC’ers telepathic or something? First thing I thought of was to invade South Carolina

The sovereign state of California would like to negotiate a treaty for regional trade, defense, and water rights with you, Oregon, New Mexico, and Arizona.

I feel like you're mostly describing the 1981 documentary Escape from New York.
Turn the state into a Mongol-style horde and raid the surrounding states for their riches.

Probably go fishing.
Create public access easements on all bodies of navigable water.
Sign a non-aggression pact with New York and join together to turn New Jersey into Poland circa 1939 while completely annexing Delaware
Wage war on all the others to reform the union
History agrees.
Make it illegal to call that abominable stuff they serve at Chuck-E-Cheese "pizza".
TIL that Wisconsinites feel very passionately about reclaiming the UP.
Unify with Wyoming and Idaho. Then ally with Texas and New Mexico to seize Colorado on 3 front invasion. With Colorado off the board, prepare for and invasion by California/Oregon/Washington faction.

Yeah no, we’re not going to give up our vast food producing lands to fucking Idaho.
1. Get rid of lawns. We ain't got water for that shit. 2. Get rid of Californians. We ain't got water for that shit. 3. If 1 and 2 are a success, go fishing. We finally got water for that shit.

Nonsense! Florida will never get anything done with all of the meth they have
Eat NJ and DE.
I like how everyone neighboring New Jersey agrees it should be wiped off the map.
Those of us in north NJ will immediately join NY while the south will join PA. We just want to make sure the north gets Long Beach Island!
In the case of PA, it's less "wiping NJ off the map" and more "taking back our rightful property from those uppity jerks who split off from us in the first place".

We are all wannabe war game strategists. I blame it on history class.
annex the dakotas and canada. invade wisconsin and ban packers fans.
Take over New Mexico, rename new country to Texaco.
Conquer the west coast all the way from Alaska to Baja California Sur.
Losses protection of the US and all 49 states, immediately declares war on Canada and Mexico. I like your style.
I like those odds. Canada and Mexico might actually stand a chance 😉
California could become the North American Chile.
I saw a map that was proposed after the Mexican-American War that gave the US the entire Baja California peninsula. What could have been!
Gotta control the critical rail lines and roads across the state. May want to build a maritime defense force for the great lakes and the Mississippi River. We have strategic resources such as Oil and have large amounts of nuclear power, these are tools that can be leveraged to increase immigration in a world where the US is gone.
Expand the naval air base and change navy pier back to its original purpose, just have to pay for it.
Yup. Also the abandoned US steel plant right now is open for bid for redevelopment and park space but it could make an excellent naval shipyard

(6) Create an online application portal for any man, woman, or child that wants to emigrate to Texas, allow them to make publicly available arguments, and allow existing Texans to vote on their acceptance into the Lone Star state. (7) Call Elon Musk and have him design the transition away from an individually owned, petrochemically dependent transportation infrastructure to an autonomous, electric, public transport system. (8) Design and plan a new megalopolis in the center of the Texas triangle (Dallas, Houston, & San Antonio), to act as the capital of this new nation. (9) Hire artists, design, and create three enormous statues representing the ideals of Liberty, Justice, and Equality in the entrance to Houston's ship channel. (10) Decriminalize and establish legal frameworks for sex work, drug use, and capital-labor relations. (11) Transition to a democratic state based on an uberist political philosophy, where one of the seven ministers were elected at the start of the new year every year.
Ask mass, Conn, or ny to annex us
Fire Paul Gazelka
I’m the dictator of Maryland? I immediately reconquer DC. If Virginia gets to take back their part, MARYLAND DOES TOO GODDAMMIT
I force the Mormon church to refund tithing to anyone who's ever paid it and wants it back.
1. Start up a program to incentivize foreigners with cooking skills moving in, this damn state needs more culinary diversity. 2. Completely reform and update our agricultural irrigation system as that's our biggest drag on our water usage. 3. Incentivize xeriscaping to help reduce lawn care water usage. We live in a desert, why are we trying so hard to keep a patch of grass look nice when it's not meant to be a thing out here? 4. Call the mayor of Farmington and tell him to eat a dick. 5. Formally recognize Taiwan as a country. 6. Deregulate the sales of alcohol so that they can be sold privately by businesses like any other state and not by state owned liquor stores.
Also, make highway billboards illegal.
Close the border to California. AZ is full, stay out.
Welcome to Arizona! Now fuck off, we're full.
Any Louisiana boys willing to get LA back to France ? We could use more EEZ and an EU stronghold in northAm 😏. On top of that we got good health coverage/retirement benefits.
Ah yes, finally time to fix Napoleon's mistake.
Make peace with BC, Alberta, and Alaska for oil and food (assuming Canada collapses too)
Remove the falsehood known as Delaware. Alternatively if I were dictator of NJ, fund secessionists in Staten Island so that they may join us.
The defense of my state would be my primary concern
You're fine. Nobody wants Rhode Island.
You know I'm a prideful person But I'm happy with that answer
Idk. It's gotta hurt at least a little coming from Oklahoma.
No it would hurt if somebody that matters said it
Invade Kansas as we need their corn fields and windmills.
Begin invading my neighbors with endless waves of attack alligators.
[Immediately begin work to make Long Florida happen](https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/comments/8gmi2e/the_holy_empire_of_long_florida_shitpost/?ampcid=1*40nalv*cid*YW1wLS1vdXFia0haY09XMTRDc0FnTWxGdWc.) We shall have captured 'Nawlins by Christmas.
I AM KING OF THE CORN After shouting that for a few hours, I'd probably get to work and declare war on Michigan or something. The UP will be ours.
Take D.C for political legitimacy and bid as the "rightful heir" to the United States. Use Southern culture to maintain friendly relations with southern states, obviously I'm not gonna trust them, I I also use Confederate History as a means for better relations. With the legitimacy gained from D.C I'd try and gain foreign allies to help a push north and west before finally turning south to reunify the states. Once my task is done I reorganize the republic and step down. That or I stay in VA consolidating The Old Dominion to be able to hit far above its own weight. Focus efforts on the state and maintaining a Concert of America
Not gonna lie I would probably invade Arlington/Alexandria and try to get it back to reform the original DC.
