In the non realistic fever dream of States seceding I always felt Colorado would get shafted since it struck in the middle of the US.

  • California, Oregon, Washington are fine since they have the Pacific Ocean.
  • Minnesota, Michigan, maybe Wisconsin all share a border with Canada to the North.
  • New York and many of the North East States either border Canada or the Atlantic Ocean.
  • Colorado borders all Deep Red States and New Mexico.

Colorado would be invaded because of the watershed. No way does the U.S. let us leave without a fight.

It would have to go either way. If CO makes threats to the states downstream of the river, it could very likely drag those other states along.
