Unifying north America

Finally, tex-mex can simply be called mexican food.

Personally, I'd rather see the map of north America be as colourful as a map of Europe rather then less colourful than it is now.

California, Oregon, Washington and BC all need to be united under one country. Cascadia :)

Mexico really would get the short end of the stick.
- How? On this map, they're getting Texas and California... two states which each individually have the GDP of a G20 country while Canada only gets one, New York. This map would make Mexico the largest economy in the world.
  
  Yeah, but on the other hand they get Texans, californians, and crucially, Floridans.
- Florida?

Map should say
Gulf of
~~Mexico~~
~~America~~
Mexico

Move that green up, I need better tacos.

I think I could be happy ending up in either... Street tacos vs. Tim Horton's.

This would be the only instance I would ever say that I'd love to live in a red state.

The US seems to be killing itself; give it a couple more months and we'll just have to walk down to the border and shake hands with our new Amigos.

The only timeline where I'd be okay calling it the Gulf of America.

Sra. Sheinbaum my people yearn for freedom

Por qué no both eh?

Aye aye aye

I speak passable Spanish, and Mexican food is awesome. ¡Con mucho gusto!
Oh wait, I live in Seattle. Sounds good, eh?
- Point Roberts area maybe, one of those "why is this a different country" places on the maps
- Never forget, there's some good fishin' in Quebec.
  I'll see you around bud. I'm going for a rip.
  
  I don't speak French tho. But I have good friends up in BC who have already offered asylum if needed.

Damnit, now I live in Canada and work in Mexico.
- Same. But at least we’re close to the border.

I could live with that.
- Idk if I want the cartels having free roam of the us
  
  Well good news, the main providers of illegal firearms to Mexico is people from the USA so this solves that problem as well.
  
  Good point.

Who would win this hypothetical war
- The USA would because we would be a free people again
- No war only trade.
  
  Trade war it is

Maryland is left out. I was going to ask if they're going to be the United States. But that's one state... The One State of America.
- I was going to say America still has Hawaii, but the Hawaiians have been through enough.
  
  free Hawaii!
  
  Hawaii has Hawaii, no?
- The United State
- estado unido

There ought to be a UN controlled buffer zone, to avoid the creation of monstrosity like Poutine tacos.
- brb making birria poutine
- Well now that you've said it, we can't just go and put that genie back in the bottle!
- God I miss poutine. 🥲 It has no right being that good.
  
  It's only poutine if it comes from the poutine region of Canada, otherwise it's just cheese potatoes.
- What's your problem with poutine tacos? That sounds delicious.
- Aren't carne asada fries just mexican poutine anyhow?
  You start adding/subtracting ingredients to the fries the further north/south you go until you get poutine or carne asada fries.
  
  Everything truly is a spectrum

Can we split California? Northern Cal just seems like it should be Canadian honestly.
- No way man. We need all of California (where food grows anyway)! Mexico has tons of warm climate agricultural land. Canada has none!
  
  Be Canadian. Say Please.
  
  Tons of agriculture in the northern half of California. I live in Sacramento, it's like 95% people growing food. Hell, it's even called the farm to fork capital. We're a perfect fit for Canada! They can have the south.
  
  Smith will turn Alberta warm soon!
- Can Colorado belong to both? We play hockey, eat poutine, and make tacos, and speak Spanish.
  
  I'm down with Colorado. Just not that one half... You know the one...
- Somehow the Carolinas get a pass. Why not CA?
  
  Shhh. I wanna be Canadian.
- I'll agree to this.
  
  I just want to be Canadian. Nothing wrong with Mexico but I don't speak Spanish. But I can speak Canadian! Sorry.

The Good Ending.

Mexico would be wayyyyyy too powerful in this scenario.
- Stooge.
  
  What?

Can we tilt it a bit, maybe let Mexico have Oregon and Idaho and let Canada have Georgia and Florida? Canadians need a place to hit the beach in the winter without needing a passport, and some Mexicans would love to move somewhere where it never got hot. Plenty of Canadian retirees already live in Florida part time.
- You can't take the Florida out of Florida man.
  We don't want Florida.
  
  Could we maybe somehow still have Orlando and Daytona Beach? Like just that one part, where all the fun is? Maybe it's an EEC free zone or something. We'll give it to Greenland and Denmark as tribute, they are a bunch of bros those guys and gals.
- Economically this is a huge win for Canada, Atlanta is the business heart of the south and Florida gets the tourism money
- There are already so many snowbirds in Florida that its almost another canadian province.
  
  Welllll we would debate the 'canadianness' of people visiting Florida. They're probably Albertans. :-p
  
  And every snowbird employs 20 Latinos who are there year round raising families. South Floridas demographics have higher representation from like 10 other Latin American countries before Mexican though, so maybe it should be it's own sort of city state with the rest going to Mexico.

Please make Colorado a unified zone. I need maple syrup and tacos
- Authentic MexiCan™️ cousine.
  Canadian bacon ranchero breakfast burrito.
  Poutine nachos.
  Fuck man. I'm down.
  What else does Canada have? I'm already sold on the whole idea.
  
  I just Googled what Canadian bacon is because I had never heard that term before and...isn't that just ham? Why...why are you guys calling it Canadian bacon?? We eat regular bacon up here!
  
  Also Canada has bannock, and it is delicious.
  
  Let's talk
- That's what free trade is for.
- Passports exist

SC would go Mexican before we went Canadian, change my mind
- As long as they aren't in the same country as NC.
- As long as its one or the other I'm happy.
- Nope. Agreed.

Vertical Split is what is needed.
Eastern United North American States ( EUNAS )
Midwestern United North American States ( MWUNAS )
---- Central United North American States ( CUNAS ) ----
MidEastern United North American States ( MEUNAS )
Western United North American States ( WUNAS )
- CUMMASS
- How about more of a balkanized region of red and blue states, interspersed as decided by resident vote?
  Red states can have all the racism, guns and freedum they want, and blue states get an English-speaking labor force with no healthcare and no minimum wage, right at their doorsteps. Win-win!

Wet dream of the cartels, specially Tijuana and Sinaloa.
- Dont forget the American cartels.
- They would want CO and IL in their nation as that means they essentially control most of the trafficking of goods in the Western hemisphere presuming the US military is split between these nations.

Yo, real talk,
Don't take Missouri. Trust me on that one.
- If you split it in half, you'd probably be fine. But yeah...
  
  We need somewhere to put the Albertans.

This would have made the old NAFTA logo look a lot better...
- NAFTA is now Canada, Mexico, and Hawaii.

You’re close but the real answer is “countries are made up and we all own everything”
- But the reality is "countries are made up and we own nothing"
  
  Countries are like religions except their believers are WAY more likely to employ violence

You know what? Fuck yeah. I, for one, look forward to our new Mexican overlords.

Can we give all the states and Alberta to Mexico?

God yes please

If my state becomes part of Canada, I'd be cool with that!

Hey yo why the fuck am I still in the same country as the carolinas get that shit out of here

How about all of it just Canada?
If you want to see a vision of the future, imagine a bag of milk being poured on a human face - forever.
- While it would be funny to watch the confusion of so many people over the milk bags, we have to remember our friends of a Mexico and Greenland. It's in Canadian spirit to share with our friends, and to treasure them. Basically let's just make it a fun little commune that's kind of all of ours, while maintaining our own sovereign lands.
  We want the white house though. We, uh, have this plan envisioned in our heads...

As an Ohioan, I am not upset about this.

It's pretty cold in Colorado already, can we join Canada too?
- Sure!
  Last time I was in Denver, I'm pretty sure about 50% of the plates I saw were Albertan. Which was pretty weird, but apparently there was an oil and gas show on or something, so that sort of makes sense. My point is, we already clearly have great relations with each other, so this makes total sense.
- We’re really both. Can we just be shared? I’ll get a dual citizenship.

God, please let this happen

I agree with the mehmes’ vibes, but I wish people would remember all those lines are invisible and made up. It’s just 1 species.
- We are all one! At the end of the day it's us versus the world.

I wonder who California would chose, I would have thought Canada but I’m not sure anymore
- I would imagine they would choose Mexico to honor their heritage. IIRC California (like Texas) used to be part of Mexico to begin with.
- It would be a toss up since San Francisco is full of tech bros like Seattle and Portland, and the movie business does a lot of filming in Vancouver BC.
  
  I definitely could envision Washington and Oregon as Canadian, but I'm not so sure about California. Just a total different vibe for sure, not a bad one or anything (California is great), but probably they'd be happier and better off with Mexico.

I feel like Canada should only be getting 1-2 states south but not 3, along with the northern part of California.
- Then again, their current providence are pretty large in comparison to the states....

Grant's Pass is the new San Diego? Love it

I think we should give Mexico more of the midwest and Canada more of the shores.
