How about 50 distinct states, each with its own government, loosely bound by a limited federal government?
LOL!
That idea is *so* 1861.

Nah. The Articles of Confederation were a disaster. And in this day and age there is no competing on the world state with 50 balkanized States.
The problem is that a Nation can not be powerful without a consensus of some sort. We have zero consensus on anything.
Essentially this would split us up culturally. Now is the time.

Nah, that’ll never work! ;)
