We also have a bunch of military bases. We could almost actually do this.

We'd probably want to bring OR and WA along for the ride

I’m down for it. We already have a dope flag.

NCR becoming a part of actual US history was not on my bingo card, hope it doesn’t because a lot of other Fallout canon doesn’t sound fun IRL

Well the Great War started when the United States annexed Canada and the Chinese invaded Alaska so we're definitely on that timeline so far

California bear vs the Trump Elephant. Love it, honestly, I'd see Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Colorado Arizona joining the team. Utah would probably abstain from the effort but join the list because everyone else is, It really depends on what kind of constitution the western states come up with. It could put all those states on a completely different path to self determination and a lot more money could be made by doing the split. It would give Trump the fuel to build his dictatorship rebuild on eastern states.

Cascadia is generally accepted to be the three coastal states to start, and then BC if they want to join.
