To me it seems like this 'Russian Professor' based his ideas off of geography and nothing else. Political opinions do not seem to be factored in very well, and neither is culture.

Those predictions don't make sense and don't seem to be based on any cultural disparities. I don't think this Russian professor analyzed any worthwhile data beyond geographic proximity and cultural stereotypes (South Carolina and Rhode Island should never be in the same cultural grouping, anyway).

What are you guys talking about? Everyone knows that California and Arizona are super similar politically. Not to mention all those states around Texas, I'm sure that when they're in need, Mexico will be the first country they turn to.

In all seriousness though, it looks like he just grouped states together geographically and then picked a nearby foreign country.

I don't think Chinese influence will sweep into a potential Californian republic. Also, people live in Wisconsin??

yep but only cheeseheads

America is pretty uniform in culture, English ethnicity 80%<; but rest I agree with.

Some 'Russian professors' believe in mad things. Some call them pioneers, other call them crackpots.

There are so many things wrong with that map. If the U.S splits, it'll likely be between the liberal states and the conservative states. I don't see any pattern with this except for geography.

South Carolina would never get along with the New England states.
Arizona and Utah are so incompatible with California it's not even funny.
As someone who's in the area I can tell you there's no alliance between Missouri and Illinois happening in a civil war situation.

The only grouping here that would make sense is the Texas Republic if you took away New Mexico.

Not to mention all those states around Texas, I'm sure that when they're in need, Mexico will be the first country they turn to.

> Implying Mexico is not in need.

EDIT: And if you mean to say there is a surplus of Mexicans who would wish to join with Mexico if the US ever does split, just remember the reason they are in the US now.

Plus, if I am wrong, and they would love to join Mexico, then too would California.

How the hell is China going to take over the Pacific? It's a nation of little beta guys and whores who reject them for foreign men.

*american navy collapses completely to chinese cogs*

I guess I should have remembered the old adage about sarcasm and the internet. If you were wondering, my entire post before "in all seriousness" was sarcastic.

America's Government in complete shit. Our economy could take a few more hits before we have a giant collapse, the South is still retarded, among other things.

Also, Canada has a smaller Population and Military, and less crucial resources.

Why would the EU invade ? It doesn't make sense not only would they not have the armies to do so, they wouldn't have the means to do so and considering a lot of the EU trade comes from the USA a lot of the EU would collapse immediately similar to the Wall Street crash in 1929.

Did you know that Canada is second biggest producer of snow? And wilderness-desert? And the magnetic poles?
(and more seriously, Uranium)

Let's look at a statistic.

Canada has literally ∞x more magnetic poles than America. I think that's hard to compete this.

^ Kapy, they might not teach this in the second world, but division by zero is undefined and infinity is not a number.

hey, I take offense to that. We are no worse than the Midwest, all the crackpots and kkk members went off with George Wallace, leaving the fundamentalists and poor white trash to rule.

The EU wouldn't invade, the Atlantic would Join, how, I dont know, a russian made this.

Letters Dude, America has more steel, farmer, and such production.

Muller, Rednecks and Hillbillies aren't really a good thing.

all that's left are the hillbillies who tried to secede from the states that seceded from the union during the civil war, if that makes sense.

As someone who lives near Howell, Michigan, I can confirm that it is not just parts of the South that are being stupid.

Either way I could see the EU collapsing before the USA does. It's already in decline.

Oh...whoops. Well, sorry for not picking up on that; my bad.

Hey! You're right around the corner @Mastermind
