Oh, the way he breaks up the country makes no sense whatsoever, first he gives California and the other coastal states to China, WTF? I see no plausible scenario for that to happen. Then he splits the Southern states in half, which is again nonsense, that block of states would obviously act as a unit. Then he takes the block of midwestern states and puts them as part of or under the influence of Canada - I know hes only an academic, but doesnt he realize that that particular subset of states has more people than the entirety of Canada?
LOL! I know. As if Canada would emerge unscathed from major events here. In a bad scenario, every province would be jockeying for position with certain states.
In a total USA collapse, Maine will stick with New Brunswick, the Dakotas with Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Washington with British Columbia...
It will be about regions with similar economies.
Maybe we FORCE China to accept Calif.?
