California, Texas, New York and Florida would be just fine as independent countries. Every other state would most likely struggle on their own, if they don’t join up with other states
Maybeee Illinois would get a pass solely because of Chicago. But every other state would struggle BIG TIME on their own

Geographically, it wouldn't. Economically, it makes sense (until you realize the connection and commonality is all about federal government. Sociologically ... some of us in Md. don't want DC back (others do).

"Florida is only a little larger than Portugal..." Bro, Portugal's surface area is 35.6 x 10^ 3 km^2 while Florida's is 65.7 x 10^3 km^2 . Florida is nearly twice as large as Portugal.
Maybe do this video again or make a series talking about ALL the state's and not just the select obvious ones that would do well

Awwww come on, we all know this would just be California vs Texas war
in reality Texas and California are more likely to ally with each other, seeing as Texas has a lot of industrial and agricultural complicity and California is more or less agricultural. So if anyone with a brain came to power they would see the mutual benefit.

Georgia has been a famous state with 3 world ranked Universities such as Emory, GA Tech, UGA,. It is also where a globally busiest airport locates. I just wonder why Georgia was not talked about in this video. I strongly believe that the State of Georgia would do much better when becomes independent. I also agree that Texas would do well as an independent country. I am proud to be called a Georgian.
But what about the other Georgia?
Because Georgia has politicians who have effectively driven federal funds into the state. (CDC in Atlanta?? Why?) Without Federal help, Georgia is just another Alabama.

I like that you said the “us are” in the beginning. This is actually how they said it when the states were separate. Then when they unionized they started saying is to represent a whole

With the GDP you’re off. For California, Texas, and New York, it’s actually in the trillions not billions.

Fun fact, The creators of Fallout also thought about this and came to the same conclusion.

Fun to think about and great video but more likely to happen is you'd see the nation split up into 3-4 nations with the south becoming a Nation, then the East and West Coast both becoming separate nations, and maybe the mid west becomes there own but since they'd be land locked they would probably split up to the closest coast or new nation.

Genuine Question: what would happen to NORAD? Would that only apply to Colorado and Canada?
Short answer: Each state would be over 500 billion dollars in debt.
They will forgive those to whom they owe.
Though it's a quite interesting question if the FRS will be dissolved together with dissolution of the US.
@@BiglerSakura So much of our national debt is held by China, you REALLY think China is just going to walk away from that? Maybe they'd take the Dakotas, Wyoming and Idaho in exchange to pay off what we owe them?
@@cdjhyoung Sounds fair, but highly likely they'd prefer Hawaii, California and Seattle. And as there would be no US, they also may start confronting Russia openly over Alaska (oil).
@@cdjhyoung China would take: California, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, & New Mexico as collateral, and form a puppet state. They would then let it experiment with a social democracy governing system, with adaptation to climate change & being a "green nation" as its primary focus.
@@ChadSimplicio China has already developed this kind of situation in central Africa.
1 Important Factor Left Out: Coastal States would have a HUGE ADVANTAGE when it comes to Trade because other countries such as Spain for example could access their coastlines and ports without having to pass through other countries.
Land Locked states would have to likely pay taxes to each and every country that their Truck Drivers go threw. They would also have to pay coastal states for using their ports.
Now farming states that produced a lot of the US's Food may have a leg to stand on. Also states with natural resources like oil and gas. But what about states that don't have much to offer?
Some states Will need to profit off of Parks, Tourist Destinations, etc... There would be a lot of creative solutions needed for each state to survive and thrive.
This would be a great activity for Students and Adults as well. It would force team building and innovation.
Great Video Topic!
Most of the Midwest would be fine. We have access to the Atlantic via the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway, and access to the Gulf of Mexico via the Mississippi River and its many tributaries. It's the breadbasket of the country and there are large coal and natural gas reserves. Population wouldn't be a problem as most Midwest states have at least one metropolis on said waterways: Chicago, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Milwaukee, St. Louis, etc.
@@benn454 Great Input!
Slight issue, its likely that one of the U.S's allies will come in and protect and keep order throughout the nation, while also uniting the military so martial law can be established, some states will form nations, some will join Canada, and some will probably be attacked by another.
Nope, the republican states would unite, giving them the entire southern seaboard. Then it would be republicans verses democrats. The republican area would immediately get rid of welfare benefits, causing every welfare recipient to flee to a democrat area. Along with almost all of the minority population in republican areas. So a place like Mississippi goes from the largest black population per capita, to the whitest area in America. Next those republican state would get rid of all business regulations, and business taxes. Causing every business in the United States to make a decision. Do wish to remain in a over regulated area with an outrageous tax rate, or move to an area with no regulations or taxes. Which isn't really a choice at all, they'll pack their shit and leave. Then those republican areas pass a law saying "all people moving to our area won't be allowed to vote for 100years. Basically preventing the democrats from moving to our area and out voting us in our own land. That's what would happen.
@@benn454 I have a more cynical view: the states that border the Mississippi River south of the Great Lakes states will be struggling to find an economy that works for them. Tightening their hold on the the Mississippi transportation system might be viewed as their Golden Goose to flesh out their treasuries. Same goes for the the St. Lawrence Seaway to a lesser extent. It will take some skillful negotiations to keep the Great Lakes States with good access to foreign markets. I would think recruiting a sea port state in to the Great Lakes states union would be a early goal for the GLSU.

V I R G I N I A
after they fight each other to take the other over first.. 🤣🤦♀️
Midwest Virginia
Kentucky : you fools, I am the true Virginia
Why are you reading this ?
Virginia: hahahahahah keep telling yourself that Kentucky 😂😂🤣
I doubt they would unite
Texas: i want mexico now.
Mexico: i want Texas back!
Coool
In terms of military, each state has a national guard already under control of the state, and any military base in the Territory would likely become part of that nations arsenal
Video: What if the states are independent
Texas: *im here to be your next world power*
California: “that’s cute”
@@junior1497 lmao California is shit and wouldn't last a day.
Gen. Washington it’s better than whatever shithole you come from. Texas will always be second hahahaaha
Some Dude California walks into the room: excuse me
@@junior1497 lmao there's a reason hundreds of thousands of people and businesses are moving from California to Texas and that's because California is number one... in POVERTY! also California is literally a shithole look at San fransisco people popping in the streets and hardly anyone cleans up. They even have a poop tracker app there lmao
If the 50 States had a fight:
Florida: I’m the best I deserve fame
Texas: What you talkin about?
New York: He was obviously talking about me
California: Oh really?
How dare you assume Florida’s gender. This isn’t commiefornia
All the other 46 states: *i JuSt SiT bAcK aNd ObSeRvE*
*TEXAS!!!!!!!!*
iPhone XS and XS Max yessss
Edp4455 wasn’t assuming ;-;
What if we combine two to three smaller states for voter representation, sharing wealth, access to more funds, benefit of law making and resources. Can you do a video?
Texas has one of the USAF major training facilities (in my hometown of San Antonio) so I would assume we’d have quite a bit of air power
In short
Texas would be happier
A lot of (mostly southern) states would be broke
California would be thriving
But you wouldn't have guns and people will be arrested for using the wrong pronouns, like Canada or Europe.
California wouldn't thrive. They're extremely dependent on water supplies from Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, The Great Lakes, Maine, etc.
@I'm Triggered Got it, treating people with respect is stupid.
Rest of the South would just form a new non-slave Confederacy.
@@nonomen6665 This is not correct. CA does not get water from the Midwestern states at all LOL Out of state water in CA comes mostly from the Colorado River and the lion's share of that goes to LA. San Diego gets over 60% of its water from local sources and a good portion of the rest comes from the Sierras via the CA Aquaduct. A smaller amount from the CO River. Most of the water in Northern California comes from the snowpack in the Sierra. The city of San Francisco is served by the reservoirs lake Merced and San Andreas Lake.
