Life in these Untidy States: Silver Linings!

This was originally tacked on as a footnote to my last post, but I think it needs to stand on its own.

For the record, the "Divided States of America" is only a "worst-case scenario" if the Balkanization is violent. That's not unlikely, because we're all pretty pissed at each other right now, and we do like our guns

I've often wondered if something along those lines would happen around these parts, or if instead we'd get something like a North American Union. Many other countries have split up before, so who knows what the end result may be. You could get your splits into republics and city-states and even the UCAS, and still wind up with something organized like the EU.

But yar, the hopeful scenario would have such divisions happen without war.
