Throw in British Columbia and Alaska while you're at it. Just take the entire west cost of North America.

And what should be the east coast, since if the international date line didn't do that weird curve at the end of the Aleutians, Alaska would be the northernmost, westernmost, and easternmost state.

BC says no thanks. Even west coast US is still broken AF.

Alaska was full of libertarian "I came out here so I can live as I please" types, but a lot of them have shifted over to the crazy.

I think with the right-wing media being severed (with regulations around honesty in news and a more publicly funded system, not particularly with censorship), those types would go back to their "just leave me alone" ways.

Since you're including the entire north american west coast, can Baja California get an invite too?

I love when people throw around the idea of Canadian provinces just being up for grabs, as if we want anything to do with what's going on south of the border.
