If it actually came to blockading Illinois they'll be some really interesting Al Capone style logistics to bypass, like shipping everything to Thunder Bay and sneaking it down the Great Lakes.

Good thing we have a bunch of really huge airports. Hell, we can even build the pointless south Chicago mega airport now.
