OP here, IP reset and the new one was permabanned.
>>5461765Vancouver's a buncha libs like Seattle and Portland
>>5461980Part of the impetus of this collapse was sectarian tenses reaching such a pitch in Congress that literally no legislation (including budgets) is able to be passed. All federal agencies that are still semi-functional are essentially extending themselves lines of credit and effectively printing money, much to the effect one would expect.
>>5462880I haven't fully theorized outside of America (I have a rough sketch but it needs updating to account for the Ukraine War happening like it is), but a Sino-Indian War just seems like something of an inevitably in a post-American hegemony world, y'know? For the UK though, they've already been on a downhill decline for the past 80 years, and things are starting to turn real south for them even as I post this. I expect the EU to begin to centralize further, so they'll probably be able to survive in the intermediate future as a collective, Britain though really has nothing going for it, and I see no hope of that changing.
>>5465608>Why has California not conquered the rest of California from Mexico?The fact that Californians have absolutely no incentive to go to war in order to seize a barren wasteland.
>In fact, why does nothing seem to have happened in Mexico at all?Mexico has found itself a kind of "shithole steady state", much like most of Latin America. There is a nominally functional democratic state, yes, but has been cursed by destiny to remove underindustrialized and poor, which ensures that there is never enough centralization or wealth to either transform itself into a modern country, OR succumb to the kind of collapse that we're seeing Russia undergo in 2022, or which America witnesses in this timeline. There's a number of preppers and suchfolk that have emigrated to places like Argentina for this very reason: the rest of the world can fall apart, and the region will barely notice.
>>5471425>Why are you posting this on /qst/ if it's not a quest?Idk, seems like a marginally more appropriate place than /tg/ for narrative fiction. I'd be interested in making this more /qst/ material I just don't know how I'd set it up. I'd make all of this into a HoI4 mod if that wasn't such a burden of work.
>Having a "mostly peaceful" breakup on largely state lines/unions is kind of insane, but anything else you could put out will be. As one anon pointed out, real life is often borderline schizophrenic in how things play outJust wait 'til you see how the Middle East looks!
