Reading some of these responses make me think more and more how different different parts of the country are and how much happier we'd ALL be if we split up lol.
The only real concern is national security and since there are plenty of nukes around(and nuclear powers don't fight, and if they do, its the apocalypse) that is not an issue.

As for the Midwest, I think it would split largely along politcal lines.
The more liberal northern Midwest: Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, plus Illinois (and defacto capital Chicago).
The more conservative southern Midwest: Ohio, Indiana.

...............latley i've been making threads which are far from the line of normal thinking. I don't drink, do any sort of drugs, i'm very straight laced but I've been making these kinds of threads when it is late at night and I am very tired. It has been interesting to come back the next morning and see what the hell I was thinking. For once... I don't think my idea was a bad one.

You don't need a massive military to land on Alpha Centauri. Or at least, not one massive relative to your country.^-^ |
Yes you do-you need a large enough military(or one more advanced then the enemy) to defend yourself or discourage attack. If you play on any decent difficulty setting the AI is always too aggresive and will attack unless you are militarily superior.
Edit: Large cities in some states.... not others. After all, who says commerce stops lol? EVEN if it did, which is rediculous, there is enough food production in NY and California for LA and NYC, enough in Texas for houston.... enough for chicago.
Water rights would be a problem though-a number of the nations large cities pipe in their water from extreme distances, even over state boundaries.

Even if the Union were to break up, surely the lesson we've all learned by now is that large political units become more powerful than small political units. I could really see the US breaking down into just 4 units, based on geography, history, and culture:
1) The old CSA, minus Texas but plus West Virginia
2) The old Union, east of the Mississippi River
3) The West Coast + Hawaii
4) Texas, Oklahoma, the Rocky Mountain States, and the Great Plains States
This leaves 4 states to distribute: Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Alaska. I think Minnesota definitely belongs with the old Union. Iowa has more in common culturally with the old Union, but more in common geogrphically and economically with the Great Plains states; I'd put it in the Union. Missouri probably belongs in the old Confederacy, but that spilts Kansas City over a national border, so maybe not.
I have no clue what to do with Alaska.
