    Can’t wait to see an indie film about a small town Nebraska story shot in sepia because it’s south of the border.

      Nebraska story shot in sepia because it’s south of the border.

      It’s not though? Unless the map was changed between when you posted your comment and the one I’m seeing now.

        Cansas

        You have to adjust the spelling a bit. Eg. we spell it Corea not Korea. lol
        (Funnily enough, “cansas” means “you’re tiring” in Spanish as in “¡Ahh, cómo cansas!”)

    While I would honestly prefer this to our current situation, I vote we Europeanize things instead. Single continent North American Union, but instead of 3 meganations, we instead go fully independent for each state in the us and Mexico, and each province in Canada. But with free travel between the new, much smaller nations. Let’s see how fast these conservative ass states who love to boast about their fucking fiscal responsibility last before collapsing and getting a bailout that requires they start offering fucking healthcare.

    One generation later, none of the Americans remained. Having been removed from their threat for so long, they were now completely devoid of the natural defenses that were necessary to protect them from the devastation of Kinder Surprise eggs.

    I live in Kansas City. I would love this outcome. We’d be that Tijuana of Canada.

    I like how the Carolinas are Canadian. It’s like the map maker knew they’re too racist to even try giving to Mexico.

      They’re going to have a great time with the deep south and the sun belt, though. We got the better end of this deal, even if the level of new population means we basically are going to be America again.

    Honestly, I think Mexico has a better chance cleaning up the cartels than the US have cleaning up, well… Anything.

    If Mexico does that, this map looks pretty good

      Why? They just got back all their former territory, and then some. As well as taking the largest economy in the US, and most of the largest military resources. Oh, and a fair amount of our aerospace industries. Also an absolute shit ton of oil refineries.

          We can finally quarantine the anti-human states, now that “states rights,” aren’t an issue.

          Mexico outlawed all forms of slavery when they founded the country. The Alamo defenders were defending the right of US citizens to make Texas, which was a Mexican territory at the time, into a slave state.

            As President Grant, himself a veteran of the Mexican-American War, once noted…

            For myself, I was bitterly opposed to the measure, and to this day regard the war, which resulted, as one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation.

              We only missed founding this country with no slavery by a single person’s vote. If any one person had voted the other way in The Continental Congress, we would have started the US without the deep festering wound that has divided the country ever since.

    I mean joining Mexico sounds better than continuing to let Alabama be Alabama. We’d probably improve our public health, public transit, and healthcare options.

    Maybe we could finally get rid of our racist, shitty constitution from the early 1900s (longest constitution in the world!)

    I think Mexico should get Alaska. Just to further increase the distance between it and it’s country.

    Cede the entire area to a new “national park” a park the size of the Old United States.

    Else, combine Baja and California to California Grande.
